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.

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.

Also from yesterday...

Michelle Obama orders thigh-high French boots

The boots go for about a grand.

Meanwhile...

Month-by-month USA Unemployment Map (wow!)

“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:

  1. Why POTUS exporting these valuable jobs.
  2. Why his wife is using Indian slave labor to make her dress.
  3. Why isn't the International Ladies Garment Workers Union shrieking with anguish and rage?
  4. Why isn't SEIU boycotting the White House in solidarity with the ILGWU?

Inquiring minds want to know...

I wonder how many of them are children?

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?

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

She actually looks nice. I worry more about the destruction that she and her husband have inflicted on the USA.

That isn’t nice.

Dang ... Shelley's looking pretty good, there. Barry still looks like King Dork.

Probably because he is King Dork.

Yeah but that dress created more jobs than the entire stimulus package did in all 57 states.
