We will have to agree to disagree. The problem is when we criticize Michelle’s choice of dress ( assuming it was not purchased by tax payer funds) we are engaging in the same class warfare that the democrats do their best to incite.

No, she is not just some dame who married a millionaire, but she does have the right to purchase for herself to wear what she would like. You are wrong people do care what the dame who marries the millionaire spends their money on. We must be careful not to fall into the same trap of envy that is used as an argument to redistribute wealth.

Now, we can give our opinions all day about if the dress is flattering or not, but Beyonce probably would have worn something classless that would have made even the randy french prime minister blush.

She is not a queen. She is the wife of a political leader. Everything she says and does matters, but she thinks she can wear an overpriced dress and not get criticized for it. I do not for one little minute agree with you. And I bet you dollars to donuts the taxpayers bought that dress. It is a disgusting display when times are so bad. If times were good it would be disgusting and over the top. If she wants to wear thousand dollar bills pasted on herself to show how “riche” she is in private, that is one thing. This is entirely another. Who are you anyway “likes to buy nice things”. What church do you go to? How much have you donated to the poor this year?

re: criticizing the dress

I've been one to appreciate that Michelle often wearing dresses has had a positive impact on women and girls. It's nice to see girls want to look feminine. It's also nice for heavy set girls to see in Michelle that they can do better than just put on spandex blend pants.

If that dress becomes a fashion statement, it will be better for prom night and other dress-up choices than choosing to look like streetwalkers in training. It sends the message that fashion can be fun.

The one who I'll criticize for clothing choices is hillary. She doesn't even try to make a fashion statement or look attractive.

They are prosecuting the former Virginia first couple for the same type of thing.

Classic Clinton MO.

The only way I could see criticizing the expense of her dress as class warfare is if the Obungholes had honestly earned the money to buy it. They didn’t. I think it is proper and useful to point out the incongruity of how Moochelle and the Kenyan speak disparagingly about the rich and how they flaunt wealth when they get a chance to do so. They are hypocrites of the highest order and calling attention to it is a good thing in my view.
