Seething Anger is now a fashion trend?

Oh, for God’s sake... This is a sweetened way of saying Michelle hasn’t the face or the body to be a fashion plate. Aunt Esther just ain’t got “it.”

[ReneeLynn]

Of course it’s a good thing! Nothing she does or wears will ever be bad. How could it possibly be? She’s Michelle Obama for pete’s sakes. /s

Good Lord.

I usually pay no particular attention to anyone’s clothes, but I have to say Michelle’s ball gown brought forth a lot of nostalgia in me. It looked like it was made from my grandma’ chenille bedspread.

Anyone who saw the video of her appearance before the teachers’ union last week in a ratty gray jacket over a shiny purple satin blouse could see that she definitely has her own look. I think they once labeled it “shabby chic.”

[Darkwolf377]

I think it’s funny how she was supposed to be some power wife, not some old fashioned first lady who just talks clothes and stuff, and what’s most of what we hear about her in the press? FASHION news.

I know that many Americans are having buyer’s remorse about these two, but I have this sense that Barack and Michelle themselves are thinking “Why did we want this, exactly?”

Forget heroin shiek, this is insomnia sleep—I’ve never seen two more listless people in public.

She’s Aunt Esther in a bedspread.

[Darkwolf377]

sleep = chic

Actually, images of her look like the videos that will come out of the NFL combine

[Brett66]

I wonder when they’ll realize, she ain’t pretty or fashionable. It’s like being nice because they feel sorry for her.

"First lady Michelle Obama is widely hailed as a fashion icon..."

Michelle is like a lot of icons I've seen up close: flat, cracked and badly in need of restoration.

It's always a good idea to tailor fashion to a persons body type.

For Mrs. Obama, I woudl suggest the following...

[Moonlighter]

THIS is what the 40-something year old First Lady of the US wears to an evening at the theatre in the middle of a DC winter...fashion sense central she is not.

[SMARTY]

I don’t know about her fashion choices, but I think Mike Ditka had more poise.

[Freeper]

I have said it before - - - -
Michelle has the fashion sense of an unmade dorm room bed in the football athletic wing of a college.

[VeniVidiVici]

Too funny! The liberal way to say that “frumpy” is in!

[Gumdrop]

Laura Bush always looked just right! Since her husband was a Republican, she does not count!

[omega4179]

The sleeveless look =terrible doesn’t she have any fashion sense for a first lady?
