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.

That’s right.
Laser Blast?
MO is whatever she is...a fairly naturally unattractive big person who occasionally could look decent....but Melania is naturally extraordinarily beautiful and the media ignores that. Talk about hypocrisy!
Mo complains and complains...to what end? She’s stuck with whoever she/he/it is.
She ought to just STFU!
She has the kind of arms where she could pull your head off if she wanted to... and she probably does. She'd probably tell you what she was going to do before she did it, just to see the terror in your eyes.
Liberal women will never overcome one simple contradiction that holds them all back:
One cannot be both a strong woman and a victim at the same time.
On another note; Jackie was the epitome of feminine and she didn’t have a visible package when her skirt was a tight fit.
The picture of the two replaced the 1930 Grant Wood painting American Gothic.
America was downhill from there on.
Photo....
More than one of the magazine and TV comments from women reporters called them “her toned arms.”
No mentions of shaving her sideburns twice a day.
Great scene of Robert Frost chatting with Jacqueline Kennedy....She was gracious and genuinely impressed to talk with the 86 year old poet. Because of the sun glare outside he had to recite The Gift Outright from memory. Decades later his son said he was ashamed of the poem which glorified the US and the military sacrifices of soldiers to keep America great.
And all those Motel 6 rooms sacrificed their shower curtains for Jill Biden’s fashion needs.
Big Mike - still whining.
Feminists reject the term "victim."
The preferred term is "survivor."
Jackie Kennedy looked like a beautiful, feminine woman. Big mike looked like a linebacker in a woman’s dress.
Jackie was refined, graceful, feminine, classy, and elegant. Michelle is none of those.
I wonder if Michele could be a super star in the WNBA?
Shouldn’t there be a warning to have eye bleach handy when we add pix of The Wook-— I mean, Big Mike?
It wants no straps.
That female is no lady.
