Michelle Obama exercised her right to bare arms in the White House, but she wasn't the first to do so.
(snip)
Asked how she coped with the high level of criticism about her appearance back then, she tells PEOPLE, "I took it for what it was, pure hypocrisy." In the book she details the time when she was railed against in the media for wearing sleeveless dresses to events as first lady.
The dual standard, she says, was obvious. "I could pull up pictures of Jackie O in a second and see this fashion icon in sleeveless dresses as First Lady. So at a point you’re like, 'Oh, this is politics.'"
She continues, "'If you can’t beat them, make everybody scared of them.' That was the motto. If it wasn’t the clothes, it was 'that terrorist fist bump.' It was every word that we said. It was my husband’s tan suit."
The former first lady reveals she had a hand in helping pick the infamous tan suit that was deemed "unpresidential" when the former President wore it while on official business back in 2014.
"I loved that tan suit! When he had it on, I was like, 'Oh my God, you look so cute'," she says. "[Then] I was like, 'Oh, you got clocked for that one. Welcome to my world.' That was toward the end of his presidency, so we were used to all the crazy issues that people would take with us."
And she says she knows what their critics intended to do.

Of course, she did not notice her own lack of femininity in a sleeveless dress, in contrast to Jackie O. The cut of the sleeves on Mooch makes it look like she's ready to go 9 round sin a boxing ring, in contrast to cut of Jackie's dress. All Mooch's racist brain did was think, "This white lady gets a pass".
No. It was because you chose to showcase your patently unfeminine linebacker shoulders and arms, Mooch, not politics.
I can't decide what triumphs with Big Mike: the stupidity, the malignant narcissism, or the pigheadedness.

It’s not the sleeveless dress... it’s the strange bulge below the hips that is off putting.
Big Mike likes Gunz….
Pass it on.
Mike doesnt understand it’s his penis that’s the problem, not his arms.
I don’t think Jackie Kennedy’s T-level was as high as Mike’s. Thus Mike’s freaky appearance and the discomfort it fosters in We The People, upon seeing her even partially naked.
I do think that Americans would like their president’s wife to look like a, you know, actual WOMAN. Example: Melania.
If I have to look at her image at all, I’d prefer seeing Big Mike in a hazmat suit, full face shield boots and gloves included.
Angry black lady with a huge ass. And a homo husband.
Class vs Crass.
This incessant whining about how unfairly she’s been treated (in her life of unparalleled power, wealth and prvilege) has become incredibly tiresome. For the love of God, why can’t Mooch just shut up, go away and enjoy some peace and quiet at her Martha’s Vineyard digs or one of her other luxury abodes?Is it really that hard to just walk away?
Now "they picked on me because racist". Give me a break.
Let it go, Michelle. Let it go.
There must be something you want to do other than complaining as a hobby. Ever try throwing a Tomahawk at a distant target? You might find it a satisfying activity.
Just imagine somebody’s face in the center of that target.
Wind up like a Pitcher and throw it with force.

“The dual standard, she says, was obvious. “I could pull up pictures of Jackie O in a second and see this fashion icon in sleeveless dresses as First Lady.”
Jackie O WAS a fashion icon, and you never have been nor will ever be a fashion icon, Mike.
“Asked how she coped with the high level of criticism about her appearance back then, she tells PEOPLE, “I took it for what it was, pure hypocrisy.””
Pure hypocrisy was featuring Mike on the cover of every fashion magazine while refusing pictures of a REAL MODEL (Melania).
It got to be a joke when Dr. Jill Alice Cooper Biden was featured on magazine covers during Brandon’s term. ROFLOL. Always wearing the drapes or a tablecloth.
It was the smell.
