Michelle Obama wears shorts on summer vacation. And some people are outraged. Sigh.

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?

Omar needs to be replaced, IMHO.

I think it's Homer that's Michelle's personal shopper.

I still have my briefs in a wedgie over how Obama’s oldest daughter dressed on her official vacation to Europe with Dad and the whole Obama possee. What was with the locks, peace camie, cut-offs and sandles...and accompanied by what I guess was a secret service man dressed like a knock-off 50Cent dude.

If it were the Bush girls they would have been called and disgrace to the USA and been on the front page of every supermarket tabloid.

Just goes to show you money can't buy you decency and respect for your Country!

Seriously, the left chews Rs up and spits them out for lunch.
I’m sick of, “We have to be nice” That gets us NO WHERE.

This generation grew up on Jerry Springer and American Idol. When you say nothing, they take you as weak.

I’m tired of being nice. Now, I wouldn’t compare Michelle to an animal, but to slam the way she dresses is a reflection on her style and her handlers.

Head on over to YouTube, Digg or Reddit. Get an eyefull.

Well, she wears the pants in the family so why not the shorts as well.

I could care less if she is wearing shorts.
However, I am taken aback that someone switched her suitcase with a homeless person.

Come on. Color and fit matter.

But this is more fun than the other 500 things.! :)

I always swear not to wear short shorts any more. But it’s been near or over 100 degrees all summer. I’m back in short shorts. But, as far as I know, nobody’s taking my picture.

Or a casual summer dress. Or comfortable flats. I’m not angry - she can wear what she wants. But she looks extremely unprofessional. She is not a woman going on vacation. She is 24/7, the First Lady of the United States, the new Jackie O, going on vacation. She should dress accordingly. She looks like she’s been traveling in a station wagon with no air conditioning for 10 hours.

the First Family is on vacation every other week and getting paid with and using our tax dollars to travel the country.

I don’t disagree with you there.

Her style is, in two words, odd and lacking...

I’m just not concerned with what she wore to site-see. I don’t disagree that she’s classless. I guess based on that, I don’t assume her to wear more appropriate clothing.

“What happened to that great new hair do that “everyone” was so excited about a few weeks ago after they came back from Russia?”

It wasn’t a new do per se. She just had her hair pinned up that night.

Is it every week?

I try not to pay that much attention as my doctor says my blood pressure is too high as it is.

I wear shorter shorts around all summer, except for work and church, obviously. We don’t have A/C in the house so even an 80 degree day can seem like hell on earth especially when I’m making dinner with the oven on.

The outrage is that she is held up at the next Jackie O......and here she is dressed to garden on the farm when it is a photo op vacation day for the first family. She could wear some capri pants and a sleeveless tank top and look lovely.....instead she always gets it wrong. There are cameras everywhere they go in public. If she wants to dress like this fine, just quit with the fashion icon baloney. It is not believable. I see better dressed women at my local Sam’s Club shopping for bargains.

“SHE HAS WIGS”

Oh, I have no doubt that she does, but the article that I posted addresses that particular hairdo and, in part, says the following,

“Bait and switch? Hair extensions? Wigs? Clones? Identical cousins? Conspiracy theories raged, and accountability from the White House was demanded.

“At the country music event, Mrs. Obama had her hair pinned up. She did not have it cut,” Semonti Mustaphi, Mrs. Obama’s deputy press secretary, said of the apparent faux bob. “Maybe this clarifies the confusion?”
