JAKARTA US first lady Michelle Obama donned a headscarf on a visit to mosque in Indonesia on Wednesday, not a requirement for a non-Muslim but a sign of the Obamas' efforts to show respect for the Islamic world.
Wearing a beige headscarf adorned with gold beads and a flowing chartreuse trouser suit, the first lady toured Jakarta's Istiqlal Mosque, Southeast Asia's largest, while on a short state visit to the world's most populous Muslim country.
US President Barack Obama had been expected to visit another major religious site during his Asian tour, the Sikh Golden Temple in India, but media reports said the visit was canceled after aides balked at the idea of the president wearing a scarf or skullcap required at the site.
Barack Obama is a Christian but faces persistent sniping among some members of the US public that he is a Muslim and, the reports said, aides feared pictures of him wearing such headgear could fuel such rumors
Yes, we toured the mosque in Jerusalem. I wanted to spray Holy Water on the black rock of the blood cult. I had to have long sleeves, even, and a scarf. Husband had to be covered, too, but no head covering.
Here’s the thing. That woman could have the world’s TOP fashion designers— and dressers — and makeup artists — at her command. Does she? If she does, they should all be fired. If she doesn’t, why not? And who dresses her? She looks Salvation Army no matter where she is.
We should nominate her for What Not to Wear.
LOL!
Well she had a whole plane load of filled shopping bags. She could have used one of her Gucci bags and cut out a couple of eye holes and then been more fashionable.
I guess the wise first lady didn’t know she was supposed to take her nine inch heels off before entering the mosque.
Hold on to that thought.
Yes, I agree, bonfire.
The ugliness of her appearance, her body, and her style all radiate from the ugliness of her soul.
Now, I am not going to sit here and compare her to certain things, although I have done so in conversations with friends who feel the same, but I also do not feel guilty at all for discussing her as I see her.
I have no compassion or empathy for her whatsoever. The only person on this earth I despise more than Michelle Obama is her wife.
Yes, I agree itssme.
But you know it seems to me that they report on her beauty so much that they are trying to convince themselves and anyone that will listen that she is not as she appears.
I wondered if anyone would get that. :O)
:)
*smiles* Spoolies were great!
Amen.
