MICHELLE OBAMA'S SHORT SHORTS SPARK LONG TALKS (VIDEO)
MSNBC.COM ^ | 08-18-09 | Bobbie Thomas

So here we are again. The biggest scandal to hit the White House: How much skin is really in?

Hours upon hours have been spent talking about what a first lady should or should not wear. First, it was whether or not she had the right to “bare arms,” and now, pictures of Michelle wearing “short” shorts while on holiday with her family during yesterday’s trip to the Grand Canyon are sparking a similar debate. While most women would agree that shorts (at any length) are often tough to pull off, I think we should line up with hands raised to offer her a high five. And since she is gifted with those long legs, I beg the question — wouldn't all shorts be "short" on her?

So to be “short” and to the point (pun intended), what do you think about Michelle dressing relaxed like the rest of us? Is it OK for her to be casual and comfortable with her body? Or do you feel she should be more conservative, offering a polished reserved example at all times?

I despise the woman. That said, she looks pretty darn good in those shorts, and those aren’t short shorts. I’ve worn short shorts and those aren’t them.

If she wanted to wear shorts, she could have at least not have done the denim thing.

I’ve seen nicer legs on a pool table.

I’m wondering why the GOP is not out there screaming about chairman zero spamming American’s....or what about the IE that was fired for political reasons...

Here is a pair shorts from one of Michelle's brands (and it's not denim and looks a little nicer):

No, the shorts aren’t indecently short. Yes, her legs look better than mine do (which is why I’m wearing an ankle-length dress). Yes, the whole outfit, especially the overblouse that’s *too small* has an effect of UNNNGH.

Looks good in the shorts?
her bow legs look like tree trunks, her a$$ could apply for its own zip code.
Cover it up, Mao-chelle. You’re a stain on the White House.

dont think they are too short for a woman her age but are too tight. Probably a little less controversy would have come up with a cargo short, a size larger & just a couple inches longer. I am long legged also & wear shorts like she is wearing as well as cargo shorts..something even with more color. (but she would not EXACTLY look like this, now would she? LOL(

She is just a little short on refinement and class.

Has anyone noticed how the real Michelle is coming out more and more since she became First Lady? Yep; she represents her people alright. I deserve it and you don’t and all.

Problem is she doesn’t know what to do with it. Only how to destroy it.

There’s a lot more to blame these poseurs for than what shorts Michelle wears-let’s keep it real people and not dilute the real message about how they’re bankrupting our country and eventually, our currency.
BTW:She doesn’t look half bad in those shorts.

I could not possibly care less, not in the least, not a tinker's damn, not a fiddler's.....

This is just the MSM shouting, "Don't think about what we're doing!! Look OVER HERE!"
