With the nation still mired in a deep recession that has millions of Americans experiencing economic ruin, the Obama administration marked Barack Obama's one-year anniversary as president by displaying a photograph of First Lady Michelle Obama wearing a $2,763 designer coat as the 'White House photo of the day' on the front page of WhiteHouse.gov.

Nola Weinstein, Fashion Editor for Glam.com noted that Michelle Obama was wearing a "mat lurex Moschino coat with a matching cap sleeve dress from the brand's Pre-Spring 2010 collection."
Sharon Haver at FocusOnStyle.com gushed over the outfit, calling it "very Camelot-ish".
Haver noted that Moschino sent out a copy of the White House photo with the bragging caption:
Moschino is pleased to announce that First Lady Michelle Obama wore a mat lurex Moschino coat with a matching cap sleeve dress while celebrating the year anniversary of the inauguration at the White House.

The Obama's are not shy about lavishly spending exhorbitant amounts money on themselves in the midst of the worst recession since the Great Depression.
The First Couple took a ten-day Hawaii vacation over Christmas and New Year's where they stayed at a $4000 per day $8.9 million estate. Michelle Obama was photographed wearing $635 per pair shoes while out for dinner in Hawaii.
A recent study of five pairs of footwear worn by Michelle Obama shows an average price of $700 per pair.
It could not be readily determined how much the matching dress for the $2763 Moschino coat is selling for.
A woman lucky enough to have a job in this economy that pays the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour would have to work nearly 380 hours without taxes withheld to be able to afford Michelle Obama's Moschino coat seen on the front page of the White House Web site as the Obama's photo of the day.
The only reason the libturds & lefties gush all over her is because she is
(1) Black (or darker skin negro aka Harry Reid)
(2) She's a hardcore socialist-marxist
If not for these two reasons nobody would give a flying fig about phatazz maBelle Michelle or 0bozo the commie pig usurper (the light skinned negro aka Harry Reid)
All our boob belts are belong to us?
you can put liptick on a pig but you still end up with a pig wearing lip stick
OK - no lipstick on a pig.
(Doesn’t it seem silly for a Wookie to wear a coat?)
unfortunately, we'll get the clothes all back when they're donated to the Emperor Zero library
I am no Michelle fan, but I kinda like the coat, and the boots, and her hair in this pic. It certainly is flattering to her figure. It’s a bit expensive but I won’t rip her for that. Depends on the sum total of her expenditures and whether it’s more than other first ladies.
It’s rather shocking!
.....the first Presidential Library to be 100% Ghost Written.
OK, after seeing ALL of Michelle’s outfits from Year One, my armchair conclusion is:
About 30% of what Michelle wears is striking, flattering, and attractive. About 20% is too “wild” in color, pattern, or shape for her to carry off, but would be OK on perhaps a supermodel. About 50% of what she wears is HIDEOUS and would be HIDEOUS on any woman. Or man.
Classy looking coat - nice big pockets!
Now let’s see, the toilet brush is in the lower left pocket;
Scrubbing bubbles in the lower right pocket
Windex is in the upper left, while paper towels fit in the upper right!
The only thing that messes up the maids uniform, is if you need to wear a boob belt outside your coat.
I see that today she’s got on her ironed hair wig, instead of the nappy look of last week!
What trash! (I wonder what they’ll steal from our White House after four years?? Hitlery pretty much cleared the good stuff out!)
............I am sure she paid for it from her savings............
Probably from the proceeds of her organic white house garden!
.
I will not post several descriptive phrases here that many are thinking of right now
The dress would be anywhere from around 895.-1500. She’s a pig.
Standing by for flaming.
I don’t think that coat is ugly.
I don’t care if they spend stupid amounts of money on clothing.
I couldn’t care less if she wears purple converse sneakers with a green pair of cropped pants and a blue sweater.
I do give a rip that they are trying to destroy the country one brick at a time.
Thank you.
:)
Post of the day! Good one!!!
