She is a great galumphing middle-aged woman who dresses too young, can’t even button a sweater correctly, but who can, with professional assistance, look acceptable about one time out of five. She can look attractive for a few moments at a time, but not for the extended periods demanded of someone in her position. I cannot fathom why she wasn’t given a crash course in deportment. Perhaps she rejected any advice. She may have advisers who are telling her that authenticity trumps polish.

I can almost believe some of this, depending on whom they are polling. I have traveled to resorts filled with Europeans and, for the most part, I have found them without graces and their vaunted fashion sense seems non-existent. They are usually quite frugal to the point of being cheap and I can see where they could relate to Michelle. Certainly, she is not threatening in the looks and fashion departments, so perhaps they are giving her a pass out of compassion or condescension.

I have been in countries with a native educated class that was black. Those women were charming, dressed very well and their public deportment was exquisite. Certainly, the European elites have experienced such women. I wonder what they think, privately. The contrasts would be so apparent.

If one didn’t have experience with aggressive American blacks, perhaps that wouldn’t be their reaction. Back in the day when I went to school, the black students were fairly normal. I don’t recall anyone who was looking for a fight. I think that changed in the 70s.

Yes, she can look nice. Her wedding dress was beautiful.

do we REALLY trust these stories?

why are they reporting this instead of the complete failure and essentially yalta II status fo the g20 meeting?

Does ANYBODY believe france is really going to participate in nato again? they have not for years.

Obama was wearing a big “kick me i’m jimmy carter” sign on his back.

That is a great and concise description and captures her perfectly.

Am wondering if the Media 'pass' - their adulation of Michelle's style is not only a swipe at the Bush's; but Carla Sarcozy - and husband - as well. They hate the French and no doubt enjoy gushing over Michelle's 'ugly' versus the real winner here.

As for the rest; they are thanking Obama. . .and damning America as they think they know it.

NO one in their right mind can find Michelle's wardrobe and 'appearance' praisworthy! (She goes from wrong-button to 'slip is showing'. . .) And her style is PAINFUL! (Noticed she shed her jacket for pictures - no doubt to get her award-winning 'shoulders' in. . .)
