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?

She could have worn something a LITTLE less sloppy.
A pretty sun-dress, 'skorts' or a nice skirt with a short-sleeved linen top, maybe a nice casual hat . . .
Fact is, the poor woman has no taste. I look better than that while I'm training dogs or shoveling mulch, let alone being in the public eye as First Lady.

It’s not the shorts that are outrageous, it is her assumption that she even looks attractive in them.

Enjoying the perks of a taxpayer funded lifestyle of the rich & infamous.
I wonder how many of her 25 servants staff she brought.
To: pissant
I remember when first ladies looked classy and put-together no matter the weather.

The Obozos have absolutely no respect for the position of President of the United States. If Laura Bush had stepped off of AF1 wearing rumpled, ill-fitting shorts and a tacky t-shirt, the media would have savaged her. But the fashionista of the world with 30 advisers/staff wears what I’d wear to clean out the gutters, and they’re surprised when people think it’s tacky.

What do you wear on your summer vacation? Cut offs and a wife beater (usually with beer scented vomit down the front.)

No one is "outraged", fer crissakes. It's just that someone has to tell the First Lady that there are better places to shop for clothes than Target.

She looks a bit rumpled. She is on vacation, but she could probably do better, at least in front of the cameras.

She appears to be competing with her daughters.
