Seems some people are actually outraged, outraged that First Lady Michelle Obama dared to bare so much leg by wearing shorts on a recent trip to the sweltering Grand Canyon.
OMG. First she wears a sleeveless dress, now this?
But think about this for a minute. What should she have worn to the Grand Canyon? A tweed pantsuit? A ballgown? What do you wear on your summer vacation?

Saying that her clothes are unattractive is not “outrage.” It’s just ... well, being women ;-).

What a fine looking first family. I am glad they take their jobs seriously...

Seems some people are actually outraged, outraged "Some people"? That's very vague. Who?

Well, she could have worn a pair of below the knee “capri” pants. More more flattering, and just as cool in hot weather.

Pretty ordinary outfit for a hot day.
The real problem was all those magazines that said she is the best dressed lady in the world and a model for everyone to admire and imitate. Now she has that reputation to live up to.
Since it was an obvious lie in the first place, and since there’s a limit to how many $5,000 outfits even Michelle can come up with, and since who wants to wear a ballroom dress for a hike in the desert, how can she manage to live up to it?

What do you wear on your summer vacation?I'm not "outraged" and I am not the First Lady either, so no one cares whether I dress tastefully or not.

I don’t really care, but IMHO she could have done better. She is the first lady and she is in a public forum. Shorts are ok if she is around the house or in her garden, but not getting off Air Force One. Put a skirt on and change in the house. This doesn’t deserve a headline.

I’ll bet she could use those calves to chase you down and put a load of hurt upside your head...
Look at her husband’s abject look of fear when he is around her.
Just kidding!

I call B.S. on this LA Times article.
Who is outraged? Who cares?
Nobody, absolutely nobody has a problem with this. This is just LA Times trying to gin up some pity for this poor abused first lady.

Looks photoshopped... the guard on the right is an exact replica of the guard on the left. Perhaps, they are identical twins.

Yeah, I don’t see any outrage. All the other linebackers in the NFL wear shorts during practice. Get a clue, LA Times.
To: pissant
At least her outfit isn’t a silver, gold, purple, red, orange, green, striped shower curtain.
