That coat is UGLY. Omgosh if I were to own a dog I wouldn’t allow the dog to wear something so hideous.

And she makes me gag when she comes on talking about the need to give money for Haiti.....

I know - it’s something she is expected to do - but it still makes me gag.

Laura Bush NEVER made me gag.

What that saying about you can’t take the city out of a country mouse....or something like that....or is this more like “w’re movin’ on up ta the East Side?”

And $14K for Haiti...and what’s worse about it....they tell us...

I don’t recall the Bush’s telling the press how much they tithe....

I think it’s pathetic and sad that we waste all this bandwidth critizing our First Lady.

Here’s what she thinks of this.

Whodathunkit...that all kinds of overpriced junk can really enhance the content of one’s character?

That “bathrobe” cost more than my car!

Let them eat cake

[varon]

If she is spending their own money, who gives a rat's patoot?

Does anyone really expect the First Lady (like her or hate her) while in the People's House (White House) greeting guests to look like a homeless bag-lady? C'mon people!!!

Not to be picky but I think she'd insist the cake be sugar-free, too. ;0)

axelrod is quoted here as saying IF Obama runs again...

[mom4melody]

I have a similar coat - one of my favorites. I got it for $39 after Christmas one year.

[maica]

There are ten comments about the coat photo on the Mrs-O website. All must have been written by her staffers. So warm, fuzzy, glowing,...best FLOTUS ever, etc

[Postman]

This and 22 personal assistants.
