First Lady Michelle Obama was spotted shopping at Target by an Associated Press photographer who told CBS News he was tipped off that she would be there.

AP photographer Charles Dharapak told CBS News he took the picture at the Target on Route 1 in Alexandria, Virginia.

The first lady's office confirmed that the picture showed Mrs. Obama, though it did not immediately respond when asked if it tipped off Dharapak.

"It is not uncommon for the First Lady to slip out to run an errand, eat at a local restaurant or otherwise enjoy the city outside the White House gates," said Kristina Schake, communications director for the First Lady.

She looks like she’s truly ashamed to be seen there with the little people.

Look around the store behind her. Have you ever seen a Target so lacking in people. One lady right behind her is probably an assistant. Two checkers looking bored, that's it. It is a complete photo-op. They probably closed down the entire store, grabbed a couple of bags and random crap to put in it and took this 'staged' photo. I'm sure after this shot was snapped, she dropped the bags and had her assistant go to a custom designer for all her trappings.

Sounds about right. This is an utterly staged photo-op. The fact that the media was tipped off in advance makes it so transparent. The other "shoppers" in some of the pictures are probably Secret Service or White House staffers.

I guess all the exotic trips while Americans suffer wasn’t helping Obama much, so it’s time to pretend to be like the little people!

She did say the girls did not like to snuggle with him in the mornings because he was “stinky.”

And why does she even bother with a cart?

Because it's hiding her enormous ass?

This was a set up photo op..nothing more...tell us what she had in those bags...was it worth the expense of going shopping considering the security she takes with her???

The wide ride was the first clue, but when she began to accuse a rep in Customer Service of racism, it was pretty much a done deal.

If she had shopped at Target before I just might believe this was something other than a “She’s Just Like Us” photo op.

She’s been reading the stories about her lavish lifestyle in the face of a crappy Obama economy.

BS, ofcourse it was staged. Apparently the numbnuts at the WH figured out her Marie Antoinette behavour was a problem.

A decent digital SLR can do automatic white balance on the fly. Photoshop on the RAW image does the rest.

Oh yeah, I frequently find myself shopping at Target with my SLR out of the camera bag, the lens mounted and the mode set to RAW, just in case I need to do some serious PhotoShop work. ;-)

Shades of that retired couple with the tape-recorder-enabled, cell-phone-intercepting, dash-mounted-scanner in their Lincoln Continental.
