What not to wear to a Medal of Honor award (Michelle Tarts Up for Ceremony)

Hot Air ^ | 09/20/09

You might think a posthumous Medal of Honor award ceremony would be a somber occasion, but not everyone would agree with you. Either this is an especially skillful photo shop effort or Michelle Obama has no clue whatsoever about the nature of this event. U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Jared C. Monti’s parents received the award for him. I hope they didn’t notice the first lady’s stunningly inappropriate dress, but that’s unlikely.

If Reverend Wright passed away, do you think that she would dress like that?

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I have never been so embarassed of a First Lady as I have of this one.
The woman is not stupid.
However, her lack of tact and taste smacks of her wretched attitude towards our Military, and America in general.
The Military ought to be treated like the Heroes they are.
They are all that stands between us and tyranny.

She looks cheap and trashy in that oufit, and apparently, she wanted to.

She can’t be shamed, because she is a sociopath and simply doesn’t care.

That being said, she wouldn’t know class if it came up and bit her BIG FAT A$$.

Frankly, that’s an unsuitable dress for the First Lady to be seen wearing on ANY occasion.

She has the fashion sense of a turkey, and more money than she knows what to do with. The result is a whole series of unsuitable costumes. Although this one is certainly the outer limit.

One cannot respect something one doesn’t understand, and vice versa. This fool wasn’t even a Cub Scout!

So, so, so true Iia!

There has never been anyone in the White House at any time who has created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady's social life. One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense, wheneven Hillary, only had three; Jackie Kennedy one; Laura Bush one; and prior to Mamie Eisenhower social help came from the President's own pocket.

Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, and "First Hairstylist" Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom travelled aboard Air Force One to Europe.

Honestly, I think she lost 5 lbs and could finally get it zipped, so decided to wear it. It is all about her. “Look at me. I lost 5 lbs! Take my picture.” The real occasion has never mattered to her. SHE is the occasion.

Sgt. Monti's heroism took place at a time when Michelle was not really proud of her country.

"And let me tell you something -- for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country."

A First Lady shouldn’t draw undue attention to herself, period. She’s not an elected official. She doesn’t make policy. She’s simply fortunate (maybe)to be the spouse of the President.

I'll put her hair in a ponytail bun on her head for 1/3 the price Johnny Wright charges.

Look, when you got to be the Guard of Honor at the 1st and 15th Infantry you did a couple of very important things. First of all you dusted off the silver bowl given to the unit by the Dowager Empress.

The other thing you did was read the commendations regarding the award of the Medal of Honor to something like 16 men who'd served in that unit over a couple of centuries. There were plenty of other awards to read ~ by 9 May 1945, besides 16 recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor their World War II casualties included 1,633 killed, 5,812 wounded, and 419 missing in action.

It wasn't a sad thing ~ these were all in praise of heroism of a degree you just cannot imagine. More than one fellow saved the lives of his comrades, or performed heroically to bring to a quick close the pursuit of war in his local area.

These were celebratory things about heroes who'd done deeds of valor and charity.

(BTW, 1st & 15th was Audie Murphy's unit)

Frankly, there is no problem whatsoever with Michelle's dress. I read the commendation for this young man. It doesn't matter who wore what or when they wore it. These are not things that count in the face of intense heroism.

Let's praise the brave man who gave everything.

Good gawd almighty. I’m speechless. She looks like she’s ‘ready for a night out in a gin joint’.

This photo is on the White House’s website.

It’s an actual photo — not touched up in any way.

Quick, someone contact Mr. Blackwell and let’s see if he really has a pair?

If he does, Michelle ma Belle would HAVE to be close to the top of his WORST dressed list; sort of like “Goodwill or Salvation Army, Chic!” lol

Does Michelle's belt look like some other "belts" we have seen?
