The white multicolored dress is made out of Bounty paper towels. I hope it didn’t cost much more than 4 rolls. (I’m sure it cost the same as the yearly salaries of four young black men at shovel ready jobs...)

In these picture you see her real hair.

Now you know why she wears those wigs all of the time.

She slicks down that head with hair relaxer and pomade and slips into a wig.Glad I don’t have to wash her pillow cases.

She would have done better on Food Network Challenge. Her skill with a knife and fork is legendary.

...Never have and never will question the motives or appearance of the First Ladies of The White House, past or present...

...Bravo, and God bless you, Michelle Obama...

OH FFS I am sick and tired of ole fat ass being stepped up by this pro loving homo, cross dressing media.

She is a freeloading media whore who is also a hypocrite.

Note to liberals , yes the word of whore was mentioned and before you twist words like you always do then it is media whore= someone who strives to be in front of the media

I am so sick of seeing our First Lady with so much bare skin, flamboyant loud clothes, sneakers, and boob belts.

Whoever the First Lady is, she should reflect class, dignity, and respect for her position.

Michelle Obama is deficient in all three categories. And I think she does it on purpose.

Like millions of their fellow Americans, the First Family often gathers around the television on Sunday nights to watch ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition team create livable homes for families in need.

Oh, give me a break!

What do they do? Leave all the tvs on in the White House while they're partying?

She'll be putting out some new home construction rules within the week mandating that new homes be built from mud bricks just like she mandated apples rather than fries in kids meals. Next I guess she'll go to war on anyone having a big Thanksgiving dinner or giving gifts at Christmas..

Shame that People made this story all about Moochelle’s photo-op instead of Barbara Marshall, who is serving her community.

This is not about helping anyone. Neither the show nor the appearance by Michelle O.

IIRC, most recipients of the largess of this particular traveling media circus of a production end up in worse shape a couple years later.

The traveling circus of despair! Of course the Obama’s sign on.

Examples:

Camden NJ, http://www.theundergroundrailroad.ca/oneabolitionist/2011/02/extreme-makeover-home-edition-epic-fail.html:

2000 volunteers converged on the area and in 90 hours... there stood the home where once was empty space. In what has become a pop cultural mantra, thousands screamed with Ty Pennington: “MOVE THAT BUS!!!”... and the single father, who was mentoring other single fathers in Camden, had an amazing home.

Then the bills began to arrive.

Extreme Makeover was out of the picture. No phone calls. No follow up help. The family, with children growing up, needed more and more money but it was all being put towards the home.

Here’s where community gets really good: Urban Promise continued to walk alongside this family all this time. It offered to buy the home (after 2 years, because I guess there are tax penalties if you sell an Extreme House before then), assist the father in downsizing to a home where he didn’t have to unscrew lightbulbs to make ends meet, and renovated the Extreme Home into a retreat centre.

A reporter followed up with the story, but she wasn’t with Extreme Makeover. Apparently, after doing some “Where Are They Now?” stories, she discovered this pattern of HUGE HELP... but only once. And the help and home are SO HUGE that the families they are supposed to be helping cannot afford to live in them.

ABC promised that we were going to have a home and that we were going to be together.  And basically what happened was, we’re not in a home.  The thing is they keep airing our show almost like every other weekend and so that show, every time it gets aired, it makes money.  They‘re practically making money off of us, and it’s telling a story that’s not really true.  It’s telling a story that we‘re all in a house together, we‘re happy, we’re a loving family, we’re happier than we ever could be in our lives, but it’s really not true.

Looks like another person featured on ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is in danger of losing her home.

From the Orlando Sentinel, via Zillow Blog:

Sadie Holmes thought it was a blessing when ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition built her a 7,000-square-foot home and office for her charity in 2006.

Now she’s struggling to keep her nonprofit afloat, and she may end up losing the $400,000 home if she can’t pay a $29,000 county lien—placed on the property after months of code violations racked up....

“I’m grateful for this building,” Holmes said, “but it’s causing me too much stress and too much problems.”
