first 1-20, 21-40, 41-60, 61-80, 81-86 next last
40 new jobs in the 217th Congressional District, Mumbai. And if they worked three weeks, they can get unemployment for 96. But no free health care!

Well chosen clothing for her. Looks good.
If she were paying for it with money that had been honestly made I’d be pleased for her.
To: SJackson
She looks lovely! Her fashion sense and POSTURE have been awful, but it looks like she is finally getting some good management in her choice of clothes.
Very nice and appropriate for a State Dinner.
She represented us well. Her husband, well, that’s another story and one left out.

Wonder how much the taxpayers paid for this dress?
Maybe this designer can make a little something for Michelle to model and wear while she is in jail.

I agree, it looks nice. Could be the first time she’s worn something appropriate.

“Khan says the gown took 40 people three weeks to complete at the designer’s family workshop in India.”
What would that cost in union wages?

40 people x 3 weeks x 40 hours/week = 4,800 man-hours = 2-1/2 MAN-YEARS (to resurrect an old term). Of course, at $0.20 per hour, that's only $960.
I demand to know:
- Why POTUS exporting these valuable jobs.
- Why his wife is using Indian slave labor to make her dress.
- Why isn't the International Ladies Garment Workers Union shrieking with anguish and rage?
- Why isn't SEIU boycotting the White House in solidarity with the ILGWU?
Inquiring minds want to know...

Khan says the gown took 40 people three weeks to complete at the designer's family workshop in India.I wonder how many of them are children?
To: SJackson
Looks like I should call my Grammy today and see if one of her drapes is missing.

Why can’t she dress like this all the time instead looking looking like a ghetto garage sale most of the time?

Obama had the chance to do something positive, like not act like an African dictator. He could have played the Marxist card and had his wife dressed in a common dress. Instead, he played the African dictator card.
He obviously likes the King Joffree role from “Coming to America.”

It’s somehow appropriate that the wife of the biggest Con should wear something by Khan.
To: SJackson
Great they got that far now just put something remotely female in it.

It’s one of the few nice and appropriate things she’s worn. She might even look elegant. No boob belt either.
