From 1989....

Gigts (sic) and Loans to Nancy Reagan Stir I.R.S. Interest in High Fashion

[Dawgreg]

Well I hate to say it but she does look very nice.....of course there was nowhere to go but up for her considering some of the clown school garb she’s been wearing.

[BubbaBasher]

For the first time in my adult life I can honestly say she doesn’t look terrible. Except for the huge bustle in the back. I thought they went out of style long ago.

[Barb4Bush]

He looks like a ventriloquist's dummy in that one picture. You can almost see George Soros’ hand stuck up his behind.

[HighlyOpinionated]

...took 40 people three weeks to complete at the designer's family workshop in India.

39 to hide the belt from Michelle and 1 to sew the dress.

[bboop]

This is THE FIRST elegant, nice-looking, flattering item of clothing I have ever seen her in.

[WVKayaker]

Why do they need to touch everyone. They are pushy, ill-mannered, and inwardly ugly. In every manner, they manage to offend as many as they can...

OTOH, she did manage to outsource American jobs. I wonder how much per day they pay the needleworkers?

So it took over two person-years of work to make one dress for Michelle Obama to wear for a couple of hours, never to be seen again? Gee, was any child labor involved? Did the people get paid a living wage? Were working conditions monitored? Imagine if Palin wore something that took two years’ worth of labor! The AP would send a dozen people over for weeks to try to find an underage, underpaid, overworked seamstress. -RedState.com/ "Clothes: Sarah Palin’s vs Michelle Obama’s"

It’s about time she wore something that didn’t come from Ringling Brothers or BF Goodrich.

I don’t have drapes in my house, so it isn’t mine!

"KHAAAANNNN!!"

[Paine in the Neck]

Khan says the gown took 40 people three weeks to complete at the designer's family workshop in India.

Sweatshop dress...?

[depressed in 06]

Why isn't the International Ladies Garment Workers Union shrieking with anguish and rage?

DumBO has promised them card check in India.

[jimfree]

Finally dressed like a first lady. Looks good. There’s no explaining some of her earlier experiments.

[Savage Beast]

The gown is beautiful, and the First Lady looks lovely. About that there is certainly no question.

BTW, didn't the Propaganda Machine (the "mainstream newsmedia") give Nancy Reagan a fit about her clothes? Now the same Propaganda Machine is gaga over Michelle Obama. The rock-bottom standards (standards?) of those people never cease to appall the truthful.

The degeneration of the American Free Press into a Propaganda Machine worthy of Nazi Germany and The Soviet Union is probably the single most dangerous event in U.S. history in the past 50 years. Honest, decent people recoil in disgust.

[PhiKapMom]

Wait until you see the pictures of her glares inside the State Dinner — no one has taught her not to look mean!

[indianyogi]

The Indian PM is Sikh and Sikhs, very often, have the last name Khan.

No they don’t. Khan is a muslim name, so is his first name.

[Ulysse]

Laura BUSH looked way more decent than Michelle O. who is dressed like a diva(fake) or other celebrity...

Smartness and decency are things largely ignored by average socialist activists...When they grab the power it’s a disaster.

I would not play the self-righteous fair dude there.
OBAMAOS are still on the campaign mode...NO MERCY ! NO TRUCE !

Re: pic at #50:
The hat is a nice touch.
I did not notice finger food on the menu.
The Prez of India, beside her, is apparently meditating his way out of the evening.

[They'reGone2000]

The Prime Minister is having his snooze, but Michelle eats on!

[OB1kNOb]

Where’s the 12 ply radial Michelin boob belt to go with it?
