With the nation still mired in a deep recession that has millions of Americans experiencing economic ruin, the Obama administration marked Barack Obama's one-year anniversary as president by displaying a photograph of First Lady Michelle Obama wearing a $2,763 designer coat as the 'White House photo of the day' on the front page of WhiteHouse.gov.

Nola Weinstein, Fashion Editor for Glam.com noted that Michelle Obama was wearing a "mat lurex Moschino coat with a matching cap sleeve dress from the brand's Pre-Spring 2010 collection."
Sharon Haver at FocusOnStyle.com gushed over the outfit, calling it "very Camelot-ish".
Haver noted that Moschino sent out a copy of the White House photo with the bragging caption:
Moschino is pleased to announce that First Lady Michelle Obama wore a mat lurex Moschino coat with a matching cap sleeve dress while celebrating the year anniversary of the inauguration at the White House.

The Obama's are not shy about lavishly spending exhorbitant amounts money on themselves in the midst of the worst recession since the Great Depression.
The First Couple took a ten-day Hawaii vacation over Christmas and New Year's where they stayed at a $4000 per day $8.9 million estate. Michelle Obama was photographed wearing $635 per pair shoes while out for dinner in Hawaii.
A recent study of five pairs of footwear worn by Michelle Obama shows an average price of $700 per pair.
It could not be readily determined how much the matching dress for the $2763 Moschino coat is selling for.
A woman lucky enough to have a job in this economy that pays the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour would have to work nearly 380 hours without taxes withheld to be able to afford Michelle Obama's Moschino coat seen on the front page of the White House Web site as the Obama's photo of the day.
We can only Hope! pardon the use of that word, please...
My, My! What big Feet! Can anyone estimate the size? I am going with a Man’s 15! They would be proud specimens on an NBA Court!
LOL! And probably so true.
Great find.

"Oh my, first lady, WHAT BIG TEETH YOU HAVE!"I wonder what kind of price the Kenyan's ancestors would have gotten for the little tyke...

Looks like she got the coat at the Goodwill store.
Do you think the dog is tranquilized, to sit there so quietly when there are kids in the house?
” Is this dog named BO because of Barack’s initials?”
*************
Nah, “Bo” is how you say “boy” in the deep South. ;)
However....a boob belt might??
I believe this is a picture of the “first “lady”” welcoming yet another “progressive” registered voter, yes??
When we said “Redistribute the wealth”, we didn’t mean ours.

Now I wasn’t gonna say that......I was thinkin’ it but I wasn’t gonna say it......LOL!
