and that sweater cost $800!!!!!!!!!

Amazing! Sarah Palin gets harassed for wearing trendy clothes well. But Michelle Obama makes an $800+ sweater look downright cheap and gets a total pass.

It wasn’t the ghetto I was referring to. It was the pig. And thank you for your polite reply. I totally dislike the clothes she wears, by the way.

Since we're talking fashion. In this Pepsi-forever young commercial, there's a part where a hip-hopper is dancing and the woman in cutoff fatigues looks a little like Michelle. Check out the woman in the left side of the screen in the commercial, which is still airing on TV.

That’s probably the belt she uses to give Barry his daily beatdown. She has to keep it handy don’t you know.

Go figure.... I never saw Palin look bad, even in Missouri on the last whirlwind day she wore a great red jacket over a shirt and jeans and looked awsome.

No first lady has ever worn an outfit as ugly as the one MO wore in London one day last week.

That big ugly white bow outfit came close, but, jeeze, do these people not have mirrors?

I've seen clown outfits that look better.

If Laura Bush had worn anything as hideous the MSM would be having a field day, but MO could dress like Amy Winehouse and get raves.

Does anyone remember what Barbara Bush and Nancy Reagan would do when visiting a foreign country—coming off the plane they were frequently in the color/or one of the colors of the flag of the country they were visiting. In fact I think Jackie O did this also. Just a little classy touch that would be wasted on the bunch in the WH now.

OMG....neither of them looks good. Sarah Brown’s dress emphasizes her bad parts and Michelle....what’s with these cardigans? And this one is hideous!

You are so right. I was disappointed when Sarkozy married her. I wasn’t impressed with her standards, but who am I to say?

I felt that Michelle could have represented the women of America better. We have American designers who, if given the chance, could have worked with her body type and made her presentable. That misbuttoned sweater was awful. She is sorely in need of a handler and a knowledgable dresser.

LOL! Thus says I, she who shops off the rack. HaHa!

I think Carla purposely toned down her style this weekend. She is always beautiful and classy.

She understood that the G20 was not about her, or her clothing.

I think she is trying to help her husband out, appearing to be half black and half white.

ROFLMAO!!!

“Perhaps we can start a rumor.”

It’s already out there and addressed by MO.

"She dresses good, but she is a slut. In fact, slut is too mild a word..."

Yes, it's definitely not an understatement to say that she has been....um......around the block a few times.
