On a normal woman, a sleeveless dress looks like a sleeveless dress. On Michelle, it looks more like what is currently called a “wife-beater”. In my old neighborhood, it was called a “Dago T”. Reactions may vary.

Nobody on MV wanted them there. People packed up and moved from MV.The Obamas are cursed, and not well liked.The artsy community of MV with charity and shared talents doesn’t blend with the Obamas I deserve the Best attitude.MV will never be the same after the Obamaego drop.

OMGosh naked arms.

At least no ankles were visible.

She has NO poise and she doesn’t walk, she lumbers!

[ronniesgal]

this pic is my favorite, along with Hillary being manhandled into her van. Good times.

It’s fascinating how mooch can find something to complain about.

Poor little racist attention whore! Where was Big Mike during Trumps first term when not one picture of Melania was found unless it was where the all the left wing media and fashion magazines were trying to embarrass her? You can take the ape out of the jungle but never the jungle out of the ape.

[TalBlack]

Yes I well remember how the media were always piling on and railing away at Mooch…oh…wait…no I don’t…

[Liz]

My faves, as well.

Good points.

What outrage? Women’s magazines ooh-ed and ah-ed over her wonderful arms. Most people didn’t notice or care. Haters and morons just talked about her supposed d__k.

[SMARTY]

I remember seeing a pic of her at a very formal do ... and she had her elbows on the table while eating. Uuuugh.

It was SO embarassing, but I can’t say I was surprised!

Indeed proof money does not give one class.

Photo-shopped!

Can’t tell which one, but the two are duplicated: Arms, hands, clothes, posture.

I thought ABL was a meme. Just for me it seems.

...but Melania is naturally extraordinarily beautiful and the media ignores that.

The media can't let out the truth that it's the other way; that Melania ignores them.

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.

Schrodinger's Feminist: A woman is simultaneously a Victim and Empowered until something happens. Then she chooses which state benefits her the most.
