It is no secret that the Obamas are advocates for free handouts, but even in her personal life Michelle Obama does not appear to have shied away from accepting free goodies. Numerous news outlets have reported on the first ladys proclivity for high fashion. And Mrs. Obamas pricey tastes have not precluded her ability to wear the outfits over which many women drool.
Rumors abound as to exactly how the first family obtains all the pomp and frills associated with Mrs. Obamas wardrobe. Do the Obamas pay for it all themselves or are the first ladys outfits given to her gratis? As with most things, it appears the answer lies somewhere in the middle.
Ikram Goldman, owner of the Chicago boutique Ikram, manages the majority of the first ladys sartorial needs. Any designer wishing to dress Mrs. Obama must first go through Goldman, who remains exceedingly tight-lipped as to her dealings with the first lady. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Goldman donated $6,900 to Barack Obamas 2008 presidential campaign, yet it is unclear whether Mrs. Obama pays for her services.
True to form, Goldman has yet to respond to any of The Daily Callers myriad attempts to contact her.

Anyone who would dare to question the First Lady is clearly racist!
(sarcasm, but probably what the 0bama's think)

"Judging from some of the photos Ive seen lately, I thought maybe she pulled her clothes at random out of a Goodwill bin."
LOL!! What evidence would there be that she was getting any high fashion outfits for free? 99% of her outfits look like cr*p!

Now why didn't she wear that to the oil spill rather than the white blouse with black splotches?

Michelle may not be playing by the rules. Never doubt that Michelle is playing by the rules--Rules for Radicals, that is.

For those who have forgotten, this is the "designer," "Ms." Goldman
This answers the questions concerning motive.
"Ms (It's a man, baby, yeah!) Goldman's "designs" are as bad as those of Mrs. Mission Barrel Rejects O.
They could both be the poster child for bad taste. One great big sad joke at the tax payer's expense.

So did she drop her hot dog and spill mustard all over her whitey dress?

In all the fashion talk let's not lose sight of the fact that Michelle is a hardened con operator like her husband....and a fraudster of the first magnitude.
Google the details of the Worst Couple's devious machinations in her Chicago hospital "job" prior to his becoming president. The corruption centered around her and she participated in it up to her eyeballs. The media turned a blind eye and still does.
All this fashion thread stuff, which is fun, and which I participate in like many other freeper-ettes, leads the masses down a path of distraction from Michelle's true avarice and money games.

Hi, I’m Jill. Jill Biden. But please, call me Dr. Biden
The vice president’s wife holds a PhD in English — but she likes to use the prefix that people call their MD.

Franc went on to note the more favorable media coverage that the current first lady enjoys compared to other fashionable female political figures. The press gave Sarah Palin a terrible time for the clothing she wore during the [2008 presidential] campaign
And they did the same with Nancy Reagan when she was first lady, he said.No matter how favorable the media is towards Michelle, she always looks frumpy and out place with those awful clothes she wears.

From the look that MOBama seems to have cobbled together, it seems to me part high end designer freebies, thrift shop cast offs, combined with stuff from the Town Dump.
Yes, her style is that bad!
Wrong colors, inappropriate styles, lengths, necklines for a woman of her age and position. Horrible accessorizing, (need I mention again the famous "boob belt"?)
You all forced me to post this! Compare and contrast!

If there are two people that don’t belong in the WH; it is the Obamas.
They are completely out of their element.
