I'm about sick of the media's attempts to make Michelle Obama out to be some world trend setter or some overly attractive woman. I find her fashion sense unappealing to her body shape and size and I don't particularly find her attractive in any way. There it has been said. Something that it seems many are afraid to state openly for fear of being called a racist. As with immigration , this as well has nothing to do with race and everything to do with lies.
I'm not usually one to denigrate someone based on their looks, but I've had about enough of this bullshit about how gorgeous Michelle Obama is and the truth must be spoken. I won't go as far as saying "You can put lipstick on a pig...", but you can do a "glamor shot" of anyone after spending 3 hours putting makeup on them and portray them as something they are not. I believe this "false face" mentality is part of why this country is falling apart.
The Real Michelle Obama Before The Media Dolled Her Up
Why am I wasting time on this? Yes, there are more important things going on that I should be discussing, but the question begs to be asked, "If they are willing to lie and paint over something as basic as someones appearance and dress, what important things are they lying and painting over?" The media is so enthralled with selling more magazines that they have created a monster that gullible people want to find out more about. Only, if truth be told, there is nothing to see.
And might I remind everyone that Michelle Obama was not elected, yet the media covers and encourages her to stick her nose into things she knows nothing about and things the American people didn't ask her to stick her nose in.
While I don't find her physically disgusting, she's no more attractive than any other woman you might see everyday. However the media is trying to portray her as some kind of goddess. They are using the Big Lie tactic, which I have discovered are described in Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler (and others noted below long before Hitler) as follows:
It was defined by Adolf Hitler in his 1925 autobiography Mein Kampf as a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously".
When it comes to Michelle Obama, I couldn't agree more. All the talk of her as some celebrity is sickening. It is a colossal lie that is so large that people can't believe the media have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. To you all I say, don't be a dumbass.
Anyone who would believe this crap about Michelle Obama and start dressing like this made up "trend setter" is a complete and utter failure at their own life. There I said that too.
I'm not even angry about this topic. It is simple disgust. Disgust that people would fall for this. Disgust that someone would even attempt to make it up.

Her clothes don’t translate off the model’s photo
Actually, back in her college days, maybe for a single day when somebody gave her a make over, Hillary WAS hot.
Michelle probably never qualified for the label, ever. Not even for a single day.
The title of Hottest First Lady in the Entire History of the Planet Earth has to go to Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the current First Lady of France.
It is the Kennedy administration all over again. I was just a teenager and I remember the constant talk about how beautiful Jackie was and how tastefully dressed. I remember one Sunday morning when she attend Mass in Florida barefoot and the media drooled over her. As a kid, I was scratching my head as even at my young age I knew that was about as improper a way to dress as I could think of.
It is the same with Obama walking around in Winter with sleeveless dresses. I rarely find that sleeveless dresses are appropriate away from the beach. Don't wear them in my everyday life since I passed 20 or so.
She looks OK in the bottom picture.
In the top one, she looks like she’s in the WWF...
Hell, we pretend about everything else, why not pretend she’s beautiful?
Sow’s ear.........
LOL! Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine paints eyebrows on Uncle Leo at the doctor’s office with her eyeliner. Ones that made him look angry.
Michelle has a jaw like a bulldog, walks like a truck driver, and has a rear end that takes 3 days to walk around. I guess some people may find it attractive......
Best Thread Title of the Day ! imho
Can’t polish a turd...
I find the “cultish” pop obsession with the First Couple to be alarming. However, I do think Michelle Obama is an attractive woman and that Barak certainly “married up”. To say she is not attractive is petty. We all know very well that if she were a conservative woman we’d be calling her pretty. And, like it or not, she is a “trend setter”.......unless you think there are Democratic strategists buying up sweaters from J Crew to create the illusion of a trend. I don’t dispute that she is attractive and that sycophants emulate her style.......I just take issue with the sycophants who have a need to emulate her and the media’s coverage of it. In my SNL imitation of Joy Behar, “Who ceahs?”
She’s not drop-dead gorgeous, but with the right clothes and styling (which is kind of hit-or-miss with her) she’s reasonably attractive, IMO. This is the case with half the movie stars out there (ever seen one of those “stars without their makeup” spreads?). The media sells magazines by making us think these stars are beautiful and claiming they can make us look be them with the right styling tips and parenting advice. It’s not 100% honest, but that’s show biz. That they do the same with Michelle doesn’t strike me as something to get worked up about.
That dress doesn’t even look good on that walking hanger.
LOL I remember that. Poor Leo was mystified why everyone was scared of him.
The only way I would “hit that” is with a BIG stick! UGLY!
