You have been doing a great job with those threads, and I totally wasn't accusing the Fashion Police threads of anything; just making sure we who participate in them are all aware that our posts will be undergoing increased scrutiny.
As I have noted upthread, I like to participate in the objective critiques of Mrs O's present appearance choices because she still has a ways to go and needs the feedback. The image of the U.S. is expressed by the non-verbal behavior of the First Family. Clothing, posture and overall expression of self all play their part. Not the most important part; but more important than many people recognize. I think we have correctly noticed her recently improved leg positions in photos.
For many non-informed citizens, it's still true that "clothes make the man" -- or woman -- in today's telegenic world. And it's the swing voters who decide every election. Therefore, those who make racist commentary completely defeat any learning that may take place on either side.
I participate in the Fashion Threads because I highly resent the outrageous comparisons to Princess Diana and Jackie O. The fashion press is in a lather to make us perceive Michelle the way they want us to perceive her. Sometimes Michelle scores a hit (like when she wears her hair up, which is very becoming) and sometimes a miss (that ghastly black widow dress).
