slip covers and book belts aren’t fashion.
Another 3 swigs of Pepto Bismol puff piece!
Obama looked as foolish as he did in front of the IOC. At least this time MEchelle was kept out of it. Everyone has heard how everything is connected to Michelle too many times already.
This is just as ridiculous as Bawa Walters naming Michelle the Most Fascinating Person of 2009 or Obama getting the Nobel Peace prize.
If only you knew How much the public misses a real lady in the WH. Bring your hubby too he is a gentleman.
What in the heck has this person done that most First Ladies has not? She even has a freakin’ army of dressers and primpers to tend to her gawdawful looks!
AND we’re supporting her MOTHER, too!
MILOTUS? No wonder BO says it's good to get out of the White House.
Good grief! Apparently only the 3rd and 4 women know how a lady should stand. MO and the woman to her right need some lessons big time.
