"Peace"

Her father had just won agreement from the Russians to cut back on the world's stockpiles of nuclear weapons. And Barack Obama's eldest daughter was obviously keen to make her own statement on the issue - even if it was merely a fashion statement.
Just 48 hours after the U.S. President signed agreements with Russian president Dmitry Medvedev to reduce weapon stores, 11-year-old Malia Obama was spotted wearing not one, but two T-shirts with an anti-nuclear message.
She wore the tops emblazoned with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament's famous logo as her father prepared for three days of G8 talks in Italy.

First there was a grey T-shirt bearing the CND logo to visit the Colosseum in Rome with her mother Michelle and seven-year-old sister Sasha. Then during the visit she swapped it for a mottled white and grey top also bearing the logo.
The symbol, designed for the CND in 1958, is now widely used to signify peace and is also an international sign for anti-war protesters.
Mr Obama spent two days in Moscow this week meeting president Dmitry Medvedev and prime minister and former president Vladimir Putin.
There the American and Russian leaders agreed a landmark deal to reduce their stockpiles of nuclear weapons.

The belts she wears are like Japanese obis, which are worn up high, practically under the armpits. Obimas?
The very painful part of this is two fold.
1. That the Obama’s would so willingly exploit their young daughter.
2. The sad fact that they have no sense of decorum or common decency. They dress the 11 year old girl in totally Inappropriate clothing for her age. I felt so sorry for her while watching the convention on TV and she was dressed in a low cut, v-necked dress.
Who in the world thinks it is ok to dress your young daughter like a trollop?
And this has nothing at all to do with “race.” Just common decency.
KOS - Here is a picture of Mrs. O and the Boob-belt. Sorry, State Run Media (SRM) there is no way I would ever wear this. Not ever!

Well since I couldn't remember the dresses, I looked them up. I might be missing something, but personally I don't find them particularly offensive. They might not be your taste, but I think that the term trollop in relation to the dresses is perhaps a little strong.
Michelle desperately needs an intervention from Stacey and Clinton.
Minor suggested improvement to make explicit some important aspects there were only implicit.
Have either Michelle or Barky had nose jobs? The girls do look like them, but -7’s nose seems a lot more sculpted.
Man...I went to the Daily Kos. My computer was smoking and shaking. Came back to FREEP and it stopped.
Better yet, to save a search here is the link:

Thank you for your reply.
The dresses in question are neither to my taste or not to my taste.
They are not appropriate for an 11 year old child. One does not dress ones 11 year old child as a trollop.
