President and Michelle Obama dine out in style in Hawaii for the holidays

The Obama family has been enjoying their holiday vacation in Hawaii.  The first family received a warm welcome from the native Obama supporters on Christmas Eve while exiting Air Force One.  Then, the following afternoon, on Christmas Day, President and First Lady Obama were seen visiting the Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kailua, Hawaii. Now, we see the president and Michelle Obama have been dining out on their vacation as well. Here, Mrs. Obama is leaving Alan Wong’s restaurant in Honolulu yesterday, December 27th.

For this dinner out, Michelle is wearing a lovely cocktail dress in a wide variety of neutral tones. This v-neck dress, with a twist in the fabric just below the bust-line, is flattering to the first lady’s pear shape.  She accessorized with simple, silver hoop earrings, and hair swept back in a low bun.

I was surprised to see the author of that piece wrote, “This v-neck dress, with a twist in the fabric just below the bust-line, is flattering to the first lady’s pear shape.”

Wow! Not sure I’ve seen anything closer to the truth with regards to MO....they pegged it.

Ugly shoes, yes.

And those legs could stop a clock also.

$625 for 1/2 a pair of shoes.

Michelle O - all her taste is in her mouth. It’s good to be queen!!

Looks more than a carrot but who cares that was not bought with our taxpaying money? ..... :)

I remember when the press attacked Sarah Palin for the price tag on her outfits purchased on the campaign trail.

Where is the outrage, press? Where is it?

I am pretty sure that Sarah didn’t have a closet-full of designer clothes that she could pull out for the campaign, and as I see it, she pretty much had to get new clothes to look vice-presidential.

But it’s a good thing the Obama’s remember where they came from, I wonder how much community organizing pays? Methinks I’m in the wrong career.

I’ve seen some riverdance-type performances, and while the dancers do not spend much time en pointe like classic ballet dancers do, they do manage moments where they do seem to bear weight at the tips of their toes! It may be an illusion, but an impressive one.

So she paid $635 for the bottom half of a slipper? What do the tops cost?

And a big thanks to Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit.

$635? Where’s the rest of them?

I’ll cut off the toes of her shoes and hot glue elastic to them for way less than that.

Anyone who would pay hundreds for those ugly shoes has got to be nuts......

You must not miss Michelle’s new $635 sandals.

I thought this was a picture from Hawaii, but from this view, it appears to be Kenya.

I like the shoes but Miz Obama does not look good in any shoes because she has big ugly feet.

The shoes are out of my price range, unfortunately

[r9etb]

$635 for a couple of black leather tortillas? Those are some damned ugly shoes to begin with... and MO’s feet look ridiculous in them.

It’s a matter of caring about public perception. They don’t. It’s like Obama playing golf constantly during trying times.

Bush refused to do this, not because he couldn’t have made time but because he thought it would look bad to be on the golf course when we were at war.

“She can wear expensive things if she or 0bama pay for it and not us taxpayers.”

Hmmmm, don’t know how they could afford these things. He was a lowly community organizer and state senator previously. And she was well paid for her “job” as an administrator, but neither comes from Kennedy-type money. Just like the Clintons. Funny how they can afford all this stuff, working as “public servants.”
