Former first lady Michelle Obama revealed on a recent episode of her podcast that she was left infuriated by a moment on Air Force One in 2009 when she debated whether to wear Bermuda shorts while on vacation (snip)
"The fact that we had to spend time thinking about that kind of stuff in ways that my husband didn’t — it was really infuriating," Obama said during an episode on her podcast (snip)
The former first lady explained that in August 2009 she and the former president were set to depart Air Force One for a hike in the Grand Canyon while on their first vacation since the inauguration earlier that year. While she fretted over what attire would be appropriate for a first lady and not draw public criticism, Barack Obama did not need to put effort into thinking about his outfit, she recounted.
"It was 100 degrees," Michelle Obama remembered of the conversation. "Barack — I was like, 'Well, what are you wearing?' He was like, 'Well, I'm gonna throw on some sneakers, I'm gonna take my jacket off and roll my sleeves up' because that's what men can do. White shirt, no collar, no tie. That was how he changed." (snip)
"I can't wear hiking shorts there, and I can't wear a dress to hike," she said. "That would be crazy. People would call me 'disconnected' and 'un-American.' I'm at the Grand Canyon in a tea-length dress with flats? I was like, 'That's not how people go to the Grand Canyon.'"
"I eventually opted for the thing that felt mostly me," Michelle Obama continued. "And it was the Bermuda shorts. Because if we're going on a hike, this is how a normal person would go on a hike."

Anyone who slagged her appearance then proved her point.
If you’re going to bitch about her for wearing those shorts ... what, in your opinion, should she have worn?
She was upset that the old lady asked her to get some detergent off the top shelf for her. She admittedly went to Target deliberately disguised, and then got pissed off when people didn't recognize her.
She’s like Rosie O’Donnell ... hate the US but can never pass up a chance to get their ugly face broadcast over the internet and share their wisdom with us.
If this is the pic I’m thinking of I was embarrassed after seeing her in shorts and a sleeveless shirt.......but nothing like her appearance in France I think when she had a blue skirt and white sleeveless shirt with her hair in a ball on top of her head and semi-hills on her fat feet. She meant to do this....and eating the soup at the Inauguration Lunch I thought I was gonna blow chunks!!
That’s one I was talking about
WHO CARES WHAT MIKE OBAMA WEARS?
Boring, spoiled rotten ingrate There is no substantive topic she is able to discuss, so she starts to whine and whine and whine. If you read her undergrad “thesis.” which used to be posted online, you can see that her writing and substance while an upper classman at Princeton, was that of a second grader. Total embarrassment. Princeton was already on the skids when it started to enroll people on the basis of their having more melanin.
Wookie needs to man up and wear what she wants cause I damn sure don’t care what she wears. Just be discreate.
Give them time...You’ll see.
I do not care to hear about ANYTHING about that ungrateful woman. I ONLY care to hear that she has died.
The description of this episode is something that haunts me, until I can get to the toilet to barf...
Fast forward a few years from that incident and who did I meet and started dating? That same woman who asked Big Mike for help! The lady in question was a lib and stated there was no racial motive at all. It was she was short and Big Mike is a tall man.
The dating did not last long as her TDS showed up all the time.
we haven’t had a constant whiner like this since Jacob Cohen
(aka: Rodney Dangerfield)
Good one! The shape shifting salt craving alien monster who “married” a lonely stranded scientist, after she/it killed the man’s wife (by depleting the woman of all the salt in her body through suckers on the ends of the alien’s “hands”).
Just so happens the scientist’s wife used to be a love interest of Bones, the doctor— so the monster appeared to Bones as looking and sounding exactly like the long deceased “wife”.
Star Trek— and they lured the murdering monster in by the husband walking around with a bottle filled with... salt... yelling “ Nancy (her/it’s name was Nancy) I’ve brought salt!!!” Soon to be phasered.
And yes, Moochie looks very much like the alien monster in the story.. when she isn’t emulating a huge “wookie” or Chewbacca!
That’s Valerie Jarrett (ValJar) behind the Moochie- and ValJar’s thighs exceed the Moochie by more than 15” tape measured at widest outriggers!
Whoooah there hippo!
That was an interesting episode...I was a kid, but I thought the woman who played the salt monster was pretty good looking!
She’s a pathetic diva. She embarrasses herself every day and she doesn’t even know it.
They both do this media hey lookee meeee! Obamaumao made a media show on monday— in DC at the shutdown troubled airport Ronald Reagan Airport-— by boarding a flight of Veterans of Korean and Vietnam War coming to DC for Veteran’s Day parades and ceremony at Arlington. Which the media-— did NOT cover to my knowledge, and still hasn’t.
Armistice Day from WWI— “On the 11th Hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month”... the final Armistice of the Great War began. A rather much more important event than the Mau Mau former presentdent moosleeem in Chief. The said Veterans were said to be “astounded” and “amazed” to see Obamaumao on board their plane arriving from Wisconsin. No, they were actually “pissed off” at having him delay their deplaning to get to their hotels. No clue attention whore Obamaumao— ran his f’n mouth to groans on the plane. Could not give one t—d for these Veterans, all for his fakir show biz. Just like the fashion maven Chewbacca Big Mike!
Have you seen the size of Bermuda on a map?
It's pretty small as far as states and countries go.
There is no way Bermuda shorts could cover that massive derrière of Mike's.
It would take a pair of Texas size shorts - or maybe even Alaska size shorts to do the job.
