President Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, and their two daughters Sasha and Malia traveled to Nancy's Restaurant on the waterfront of the Oak Bluffs section of Martha’s Vineyard Wednesday afternoon.
Crowds gathered to watch as the president, wearing his White Sox baseball cap, noted the abundance of Red Sox caps. He and the First Lady shook hands and posed for pictures with folks in the crowd. The president ordered from the take-out window of the snack bar section of the eatery.
"I love your watch," one woman told the First Lady, referencing a purple watch on her left wrist.
"Oh, thank you,” the First Lady said. “It was a gift.”
She gestured towards her husband, who was shaking hands behind her.
"I think somebody told him,” she said.
"Where's my wife?" the president asked at one point.
Crowds shouted for her attention.
"How you guys doing?" she asked. "Drying off? Finally."

Fun-nee!
Where does she even find these outfits? Does she enjoy being a laughingstock? Does she have no clue how a First Lady should dress? What an embarrassment!
ROFLMAO!!
Look at the bright side...we have our first black president AND our first gay president done and over with all at the same time!
I haven't read further yet, but it must be more than that as it looks like just a top from this "designer" is about $1,000.
Can you imagine, Star? I paid $70 for a top because I was splurging and really had to convince myself to buy it.
And I sure wouldn't spend that now, with the economy the way it is and all.
Plus, the top I got was cute! Not ugly like the Mrs. here.
For a moment there, I thought the person in the psychedelic top and matching acid trip pants was Jimi Hendrix.
It is surely one of those items we see in the store and say, "I wonder what nut would buy that?"
LOL!!!!!!!
Look at that limp wrist..LOL
I believe the wedgie came complimentary.
;)
This has to be the worst outfit Big Mo’s worn yet.
Did she draw on Dolly Partin’s ‘coat of many colors’ for inspiration?
Absolutely laughable.

You gotta be kiddin’ me. What fools people are to buy this cr*p. Looks like rags.
Why is it that pictures of moochelle only show her with “black” people? Could it be that she doesn’t like Whitey?
Our first gay, MUZZIE, black pres.
Nice work, America.
Nigerian designer! I guessed it yesterday! I said it was a copy of the dress the queen wore, wife if the African king, when he sold her ancestors to the white slaver! I was right on!
Man, if I paid $1,100 for a shirt, I would at least wear the right size pants, so that the eyes remain on my expensive, albeit ugly shirt.
ah, the ethnic look. maybe she should move and be first lady of Kenya then.
