Chinese Critic: 'Our First Lady Is So Graceful And Elegant, Leaving Michelle Far Behind'

First lady Michelle Obama (L) and Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, pose for a photograph as they visit Forbidden City in Beijing.

It was the eagerly awaited meeting of the world’s two most important first ladies.

But there was a clear winner when Michelle Obama met her counterpart Peng Liyuan for the first time in Beijing.

As photographs and television footage began to emerge of Mrs Peng and Mrs Obama touring the Chinese capital, the country’s online forums were quick to claim victory in the “battle of the First Ladies”.

“Our First Lady is so graceful and elegant, leaving Michelle far behind,” said one critic. “We have won this time,” remarked another. “Ours is more refined and eye-catching,” said a third.

There was praise for Mrs Peng’s belted trouser suit, with flashes of crimson at her neckline to match her red earrings and clutch, but some questioned whether her high heels were sensible enough for the cobbles of the Forbidden City. But without them, Mrs Obama would have towered over her.

A pleasure trip including her entire family, complete with an army of aides, security, food and liquor, the most sumptuous and expensive accomodations in China, and no pesky press. All on the taxpayers’ dime.

Michelle didn't like her picture being taken in that one. You can tell she feels humiliated by the elegance of China's first lady.

Of course I in no way agree with the China way of communism, one baby, deaths in the square...but this picture isn't about that.

It's about arrogance and pride...and those are two very different things.

This is what happens when you don't allow your own friendly media to go along. Everyone else gets to frame the news to fit their own agendas.

"Real" news is getting out when our own MSM is not there to shield it.

"What percentage of the popular vote did her husband receive in China’s last presidential election?"

I was disappointed to see that 70% of Asian voters voted for Obama.

Everything is wrong with Michelle in this picture. Bad pose. Bad outfit. Unlady like. Just plain ugly.

Peng looks great.

It is a shame that our country is poorly represented on the world stage. We truely have fallen.

Given honest elections in both countries, Xi Jinping would have gotten a higher percentage of the vote than Obama did. :)

leaving Michelle far behind

Don't be so proud. My 20-year-old niece can do that.

As bad as it looks it better that an a obscene mini skirt made of grand moms discarded yellow drapes with the bright red flowers she wanted to wear.

Even the Chinese first lady’s hairdo is more flattering to her appearance than the Mooch’s long tresses. After a certain age long hair brings out the vertical creases in one’ face and makes one look older.

The Chinese lady has a nice belt at the appropriate position on a slender waist, elegant attire.

The American beast has a high belt with no waist to be seen, securing tent-like pants, upper torso covered by a huge blanket vest. Moochelle needs to ditch the high belts that support her boobs, as belts are meant to go around one's waist. Beastly attire.

My work clothes look more stylish than moochelle’s outfit even when covered in mud and excrement...

I think it’s safe to say she wouldn’t have known better with a three-way mirror. The sasquatch simply has hideous taste.

“You can tell she feels humiliated by the elegance of China’s first lady.”

China’s “first lady”, a vain communist fascist of the People’s Liberation Army, is not elegant.

Compared to what she usually has on it's probably the least offensive thing I have seen.

Bozo has a better wardrobe.
