If you can, take a a look at the full MB response from Greta Van Susteren Tuesday night. MB was filmed with two cameras: the Tea Party camera and the pool camera. MB looked only at the TP camera, so the pool camera made it look like she wasn’t looking at the camera. Van Susteren showed MB’s response from the TP camera.

At any rate, I think MB knocked the ball out of the park. Unlike the remote, clinical, boring and academic response by Paul Ryan, MB was passionate, used facts and charts that people could relate to, and in general told the story of conservatives and conservatism in a way that people could immediately relate to in their own lives. MB gave an accurate and concise history of Obama’s failures, and dis so in a way that people could understand was destructive to our country and ourselves. MB made it clear she’s staunchly opposed to Obummer and everything he is about and has done, and she makes no bones about being an implacable opponent.

I think MB will make a formidable candidate and an excellent President!

I couldn’t agree more.

Michelle does look pretty good in that red outfit but I do question the choice of black gloves.
Not to mention her sallow complexion and the overdone eye shadow.

This one is my current favorite:

Gee, that is harsh! I am no fan of Michelle's, but on first glance was impressed that she had dressed appropriately. What did you think was "disgraceful" about her outfit? The light color?

I like the understated, conservative look. It is much better than most her other get-ups, which I know isn't saying much.

It looked to me like Michelle was wearing one of those old gray sweatshirts. Just assumed she had jogged over from the Whitehouse.

Michelle's attire is disgraceful, and inappropriate for that reason. She stands out like a lighthouse.

after reading your comments (without yet seeing the pic) i thought for sure she was wearing magenta or fuscia... this is maybe the third time i've seen her dressed appropriately... it's quite understated... though i do think it's a little ill-fitting...

Eh, it’s not bad. It’s better than what she usually wears.

Understated Style??? Are they kidding??

Most of what she wears is “Ghetto Chic”.

The dress she wore to the speech last night was a nice cut & a nice color...

But -—PLEASE!@!! Lady—this is 2011. There are hundreds of undergarment choices that will hide your panty line!!!!

No wonder the grifters in the White House are NOT invited to the Wedding of Price William & Kate Middleton. I would NOT want them in the country at the same time, much less at the wedding or reception. I applaud William & Kate for UNinviting them both.

It was disgusting!! Mooochellle (Sasquatch) has a staff of over 100 people in the White House that cater to her. Who is helping with her clothing? Someone with the disability of total blindness? They should be fired.

I really miss Jackie Kennedy & Laura Bush & Nancy Reagan—even Lady Bird Johnson did a much more dignified job of looking & acting like a First Lady.

Sasquatch is neither — not first—nor a lady.

The panty line was disgusting—Otherwise, almost a decent attempt.

Why does the press constantly kiss her a$$?

She was a nothing until Jan. '08... now she's some style god.

I would hope that anyone with an unlimited budget and a huge personal staff would be able to go out in public and not look like a homeless person.

There’s simply no thread or topic I *can’t* work Alice into.

Now that she’s cleared out every Goodwill store in a 50-mile radius of Washington, her staff is now removing the fabric from discarded furniture left on Washington, DC’s curbs.

I don’t see it in the picture at the link. Did you catch a gander of it live?

If her panty line was showing, yeah, that’s inexcusable.

“I studied Mao in the 80’s. He was one of, if not the most sick deranged, drug riddled, filthy, murderous, child raping, maniacs who ever forced himself on this earth.

That some would celebrate him worries me terribly. For they are either incredibly stupid or evil beyond words.”

Try “both” with a helping of truly mentally ill? JHMO...
