Mrs. Obama Speaks Out About Her Household
By MARIAN BURROS

WASHINGTON — Reporters are not the only ones with a particularly keen interest in what Michelle Obama wears. Her husband, Mrs. Obama says, notices everything. In fact, she has learned not to wear a certain gray metallic belt when the president is around.
“Barack calls it my ‘Star Trek’ belt,” the first lady said in an interview this week. “He doesn’t understand fashion.”
The interview, which started out on the subject of the new White House vegetable garden, ended up ranging over a variety of household topics, which Mrs. Obama addressed with substantial fun-poking at her husband, her mother and herself.
On the president and her wardrobe:
“He’s always asking: ‘Is that new? I haven’t seen that before.’ It’s like, Why don’t you mind your own business? Solve world hunger. Get out of my closet.”
She teasingly imitated him: “You didn’t need any more shoes. The shoes you had on yesterday were fine. Why can’t you just wear that for the rest of the presidency?”
The first lady said she was not naturally thin and, like most other people, had to exercise and watch what she eats.

The taxpayers pay for maintenance and upkeep of the WH lawn. Now the taxpayers have to pay for extra gardeners when m’obozo starts the garden.
Looks like neither one of them has ever used a rake in their lives...
I demand gardeners take care of it. This display of stupidity isn’t affordable.
Reminds me of Kerry’s magic duck hunting adventure.
“This is the most stupid crap in the world. What the hell to they plan to accomplish with the cul rakes?”
***Nothing. They had their picture “took” so you could enjoy it and it would “inspire” others.
On a side note, I was standing in the check-out line at the local Safeway, and two older Black women were talking about an article about Mrs. Obama on the cover of one of the tabloids they sell right there. One of them bet the other that the Obamas would get a divorce soon after he wasn't president anymore. That's something to think about.
I took the bet they wouldn't.
She just can’t help herself. She’s got to smack him down at every opportunity.
It’s laughable since she’s worn the ugliest clothes ever seen on a first lady. And that includes Bess Truman.
Question is ...... Do they have to register their garden with the government since they will be growing food?

I can’t believe that these two are representative of the United States. I mean why do we need to know their little tidbits of information from a teasing fight. This is so beneath the Presidency. I don’t think we need to know this type of information. I think the Presidency should be held in high esteem and this is bringing down the office. I always liked the intrigue and wonder of the office myself. Now we are finding out that they are regular folks...I don’t want to know about this junk.
She is obviously not artificially thin either. In fact she is not thin at all. Now the good news. Weebles Wobble but they don’t fall down.
She’s a thick women. We have had some huge first ladies before. She does not compare to some of them.
“Why don’t you mind your own business? Solve world hunger. Get out of my closet...”
Charmed, Madam, and there is nothing we’d like more than to get out of the closet of America’s only transgendered First Couple.
They also think the Bush’s are going to get divorced too. I guess the other day Barbara kicked George out of the house again...lol. Those Tabloids...
Looks like the Special... oops, I don't want to say that. They look clueless. If they plan on removing the grass from a decent sized area with rakes and shovels, they will be there for a while. I know it's just a photo op, though, so I'm sure a professional landscape company or the park service will strip the grass for them, till the soil, etc. The only thing they will do is plant a couple seeds for the next photo op. The park service people will finish that and be in charge of watering, weeding, etc. Then, when time to harvest each crop, we will have numerous other photo ops.
Who let them honkies into mah garden? Hey, you, boy, git way from mah daughter!
She sounds like a 12-year old girl.
Rosa DeLaura, that hideous Congreewoman is trying to get legislation for people to REGISTER THEIR GARDENS and HOMEGROWN FOOD, so they use the right pesticides!! USSR.
Sadly, the Obamas are Totally representative of our fellow countrymen. Have you seen how people DRESS?? They look like PIGS!!!! And they are STUPID!!
Were the Obama KIDS there??? Or is SCHOOL MORE IMPORTANT for them than for these poor kids??
Great point!
"It's like, why don't you mind your own business" This is MY photo op!
