President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama wave from the steps of Air Force One as they leave Andrews Air Force Base, Md, Sunday, July 5, 2009, for a trip to Moscow.

Taken today in Russia. Isn’t that embarrassing for us?

[freekitty]

Why does this woman wear sheets that emphasize her hips?

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

LMAO Looks like she is giving him a goodbye fart! (I have sons, I know these things)

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Oh my!!! I am laughing so hard at this thread. Phew (wipes tears from eyes)...

But Barry layed off the dye job (this is his serious “gravitas look.”). He’ll get a touch up when he needs to look “young” again. Or (being really, really cynical) he dyes it gray as needed. Its all image with him.

[Neverforget01]

Oh, it's going to be a fun week! She's all smiles !

[PennsylvaniaMom]

The “little sweaters” look like they don’t fit because they are the wrong size and they don’t fit!!!

Seriously...if she had the correct size, the sweater would look ‘right’ instead of wrong.

[CitizenM]

What a sorry looking couple. Barry carring papers like a schoolboy...doesn't the man own a briefcase, for goodness sakes? He is the president, and those papers are probably important. But they look like he just dropped them in a heap and grabbed them up. Of course, they could be the new book he is writing!

And then there is Michelle, sans one of her many wigs, who looks like she just came from the shower and wrapped herself in the shower curtain, threw on that tired, non-matching sweater, and the ever present boob belt in plastic. What "fashion icon" does so many repeats of accessories that are cheap, tacky, and just plain ugly? Maybe she wears those belts to accentuate her boobs because otherwise no one would know she has them?

[sjeann]

She’s hoping to start a fashion trend- like Jackie and her hats.

[trisham]

I think you're right. What a narcissist.

[KeepingFaith]

In all honesty, I thought this was a bathing suit / beach cover-up, until I noticed the surroundings.

[KeepingFaith]

Hey, where are the pictures of fashion forward MO and the girls in Saudi Arabia?

Oh, right...

[cricket]

I cannot figure out why she wears them to begin with. . .a 'highschool' hangover?

Does this 'First Lady' own a frickin suit? Do not think a 'large' person, wearing tiny little - and belted yet - sweaters is doing ANYone a favor. ,much less wearing them over 'flowered sundresses and full, fat skirts. . .This is a look; she seems way too attached too. Perhaps Obama could get her a 'full length mirror'. . .

Mentioned on another thread; there is a special place in hell; for those who continue their 'empress wears no clothes'- Michelle as fashion icon mantra.

We all know; those who have eyes, that Big Bird has more fashion sense. . .

[SuziQ]

Oh good grief, wow she has a CLEAR boob belt!

[SuziQ]

Well, at least the little girl’s belt looks like it BELONGS with her coat! Cute look, in my opinion.

[Ann Archy]

At least they aren’t in jeans!!

[SuziQ]

If one is going to wear a sweater as a fashion accessory, at least pick one that bears SOME resemblance to a color that is actually prominent in the garment over which one is wearing it.

A teal blue, or stem green might have looked nice. Minus the boob belt, of course!

[paulycy]

at least the little girl’s belt looks like it BELONGS with her coat!

;0)

[Albion Wilde]

what’s a tat?

It's slang for a tattoo.

[SuziQ]

is that white thingy a bathing suit coverup?

That's what it looks like, to me.

[Albion Wilde]

Is this an EASTER picture??? Where are they going?

She is pictured later in the day in that hot pink outfit at a wreath-laying ceremony at the tomb of a Russian Unknown Soldier. I hope the Russians were not expecting our First Lady to wear a more traditionally respectful color. (Hmmph! Talk to the hand....)
