Her legs are too fat to cross them like a lady. I noticed she is now wearing all of her dresses way above her knees. She has no class no matter how much she tries to buy it.

It sounds like they went really cheap with the Gov dinner. Have to use that money to stuff themselves.

These people party waaaay too much on my dime.

I’m really sick of hearing about their parties when I’m worried about making it to my next paycheck.

Have you ever been there? WOW, what an operation!

Yes, I have. I stayed all afternoon. I order (or used to order) from them frequently. IMHO, it's the best free tour in the country. We were there during a storm and it was raining so hard that we just stayed.

One of the nicest things about Replacements, Ltd is that they allow their employees to bring their dogs to work.

Why does she never stand like a lady? The *wide stance* is disgusting.

Look at her thunder thighs
covered with cellulite,
her pricey boob belt,
all scream 'I'm an elite.'

Pump shoes and short skirt
are always funny to see,
Michelle's style is for the birds,
and to her it's all about 'me.'

Plus she substitutes spray-on Pam for hosiery. Cheaper, I suppose..

Wonder if she did that during her lawyer days.

You think she goes down to the kitchen in the morning to have it applied?

Even in times of recession, the President has always had State Dinners and gatherings for Governors and Congress people. I don’t begrudge any President, whether I like them or not, the ability to entertain in the White House. It’s silly to get hot and bothered about it.

Notice the children are all doing the mooshelle wide stance.

In the first photo, manshelle looks stoned. That face looks so plastic, artificial, unnatural.
What are her clothes trying to do, strangle her? that bolero (or overshrunk sweater)is too tight. The way her arms hang, makes me wonder if she has crabs in her pits. Her shoulders are up to her ears, her waist is up to her neck, her boobs at her navel. What better way to accentuate that but with a super shiny boob belt. She has superbly ugly knees and should not wear anything that exposes them. She needs to learn how to sit up straight. That thigh flab hanging over the chair is grotesque. Hasn't she heard of exercising? By the time 2012 rolls around, she'll be rolling. I'll forgive her for not knowing how to stand like a lady. She has to balance all that fat.

Sorry, but everytime I see her or O, they look like they belong back in the ghetto in Chicago! Everytime I see them in their expensive clothes, it looks like they are playing "dress up" cause they are.

They belong in rap clothes in some seedy bar in Chicago with all the other crooks!
