Leaders in tears: Clinton and Laura Bush weep amid emotional Bush tribute ...
Daily Mail OnLine ^ | 9/11/11 | Mark Duell

Posted on 09/11/2011 8:43:09 AM PDT by CitizenM

George W. Bush has praised the 40 passengers and crew who fought back against their Flight 93 hijackers on 9/11 for carrying out what he described as one of the most courageous acts in U.S. history.

The former president was at a ceremony on Saturday dedicating a memorial at the nation's newest national park in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, as the U.S. marks the 10th anniversary of the terror attacks.

"Suitable" and classy" are not part of her fashion vocabulary. Nor her vocabulary, period, as far as I can tell.

The problem with what she wore at Arlington was not the pants, it was the top. Mrs. Bush wore pants yesterday in Pennsylvania, but she was wearing a suitable, classy, dark pantsuit which fit well and did not call undue attention to her. Of course, Mrs. Bush has always dressed appropriately.

For that matter, Biden may be a joke, but his wife generally does not herself dress like a clown. Her dress yesterday also looked suitable and classy.

It would not have killed Obama to have put on a tie before going to Arlington. The former Presidents do indeed know how to dress. Even that joke Biden looked more Presidential than Obama did.

I think you just insulted most of the people who work in kitchens!

Working in a kitchen, as in a restaurant, can be hard work and can require considerable skill. I don't think he is qualified.

I'd say busboy, maybe, but that would also be an insult to many of those hardworking folks, too.

“Clinton was a disaster.”

That’s right. I’ll go so far as to say I believe he was responsible for 9/11 by his actions, and inactions, as well I believe he laid the groundwork for the economic tragedy of today. It’s all documented in various, and many publications read over the years that need be rounded up, and put into perspective.

Clinton is a criminal every bit as much as this Obama guy is.

I am not a women, but it has reached the point of do we get her a gift card to "Talbots" to get a classic dress / vest set?

My gosh she is a fashion disaster and at somepoint you have to wonder if it isn't part of their "Fundemental transformation" of America. Nothing these two do IMHO isn't without intent...

...and what's she got in her hand? Her iPod?

Well, in the silence of a graveyard, she needs something to drown out the ghosts of fallen heroes who might whisper in her ear. Heroes who died to preserve the country that she and her mate hate so much and are trying so hard to destroy.

Apologies...Now that you mention it, I think back to my early 1964 days of actually carrying up 100lb bags of Idaho potatoes from the McDonalds basement and actually putting them in the rotopavement peeler they had then and squeezing every one through the hand cutter, and then blanching every batch, I now realize he’s to big of a (fill it in here, you all know what I mean), to be able to do any of it.....again, my apologies to kitchen workers everywhere.

Yes, they are. I feel better about the design now that I have some understanding of what it represents.

Flight 93; a lesson for liberals. When you fight back, less people die.

You are right on the money...Laura Bush dressed appropriately, in other words, in a way that brought no attention to herself. as did Jill Biden. In fact, if one wanted to push the situation to the letter of the law of professionalism, the nod would go in Jill Biden's direction for the choice of a tailored skirt suit. Nonetheless, both did what they should do, melt into the background.

Then there is Michelle. O..M..G.. everything about her screams LOOK AT ME!! the cute, flouncy dress with the low back, the adorable little buttons up the back, the delightful swing, and that's before we even get to the flouncy top with the bow, no sleeves, and the bra showing through -- and that's before the freaking Ipod in her hand.

She is nothing more than jumped up ghetto trash and she turns my stomach every time she steps out of the White House.

The way she dresses may be a part of their "fundamental transformation." I do believe that she will not listen to anyone who tells her anything she does not want to hear.

I also believe, though, that she basically lacks any fashion sense, was never taught how to dress (if you don't believe that, look at pictures of her mother!) and she also has plenty of people telling her how beautiful she is, no matter what she wears.

In one sense, "the Empress has no (suitable, appropriate, classy) clothes."

I think that the same people who fawn over her, her looks, and how she dresses, would be figuratively ripping her to shreds if she were Mrs. Herman Cain or Mrs. Alan West and dressed exactly the same way. (My apologies to those ladies for implying that they would ever consider dressing like Mrs. Obama, simply making a point).

Why does she always have to imbarass me and our country by how she looks and dresses. Send that wookie to finishing school or something, please.

Are the O’s sociopaths? They seem so removed emotionally at times. Most times.

I liked the one someone posted a week or so ago of the Clintons who were recently photographed holding hands while out for a stroll. It looked like he was walking a prancing poodle that had just been to the groomers. I called my husband in to look at it and told him, “yep she’s running for prez.”

I don’t have a problem with the dress. It’s one of the few dresses I’ve seen her in that fits her well. But the blouse at Arlington is way too casual.

Good pictures at site. Regarding Clinton - good technique - pull your eyelid down and of course it will start tearing - try it.

Yes, a cute dress. Yet, more for entertaining at a backyard garden party, or strolling on the boardwalk to dine in the evening.

However, she obviously cannot wear a bra with it. Imagine any other female (other than some Hollywood slut) showing up at a memorial service of such great significance (or any pubic appearance)...without a bra. The woman is simply a ghetto girl with no taste or class who is intruding in the White House.

Besides, she has "ashy" elbows. You can see them in the other picture. I know no African-American/Black woman who really is a Lady would ever be seen in a sleeveless top with ashy elbows showing..
