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.

I love those shoes. So much prettier than any shoe I’ve seen her Highness wear.

[SuziQ]

That dress is not too bad! At least it’s not dumpy looking!

[SuziQ]

That twin set in #145 looks nice; very classic in the ivory with black slacks. The necklace is a little busy for me, but she seems to like larger jewelry.

A nice tailored balck jacket would have made this dress so much more appropriate and would have toned down the pattern.

Nothing will ever help her until she finally figures out that wearing small, too tight clothes isn't attractive.

Oh yeah, if she really wanted to be fashion forward, she should have put a pair of Sarah Palin's Naughty Monkey red shoes with that dress!

Her too tight dress is riding up as she walks. Too bad we don't have a rear view on that one.

I really, really, hate to say it, but I like the shoes.

Finaaly!! An outfit without the K-Mart belt!

[CAluvdubya]

GTMA....I didn’t see this post before I posted about Sarah’s Naughty Monkey’s. LOL

[RightField]

This is probably one clear belt with interchangeable buckles. Cool ... like something you’d give your 12-year old for Christmas. /sarc

Looks like the kitty is getting ready to spray. Not that I blame the kitty.

[iceskater]

She actually has a genuine looking smile on her face for a change.

Maybe she's smiling because she's going "home" - she is a marxist after all.

[maggief]

Are her full-time makeup artist and stylist mentioned?

It's been cropped. LOL

[iceskater]

Wow. $1,256,700 plus fringe benefits. Adding fringe benefits probably puts it close to $1.8M.

All for someone who WASN’T ELECTED TO ANYTHING!!!!!!

[Neverforget01]

Thanks maggief; maybe this dress looks better up close. In the photos it definitely looks like bugs!

[Neverforget01]

No makeup artist or mention of the costs of bringing mom and godmother on every trip to watch the kids!

My heart goes out to the token men on the list. Imagine that job?

[VirginiaMom]

Are my eyes deceiving me, or is her bra strap visible in this picture? TACKY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[maggief]

The dress was not made for sitting, apparently. I wonder why she changed her shoes?

[prairiebreeze]

She just doesn’t get it, does she...

[patriot08]

All this and she STILL comes off as an ugly, awkward, big a$$ed shrew.

[freekitty]

That was my first guess.
