On the day a poll showed Barack Obama owning the failing economic recovery, a CBS News Washington Bureau reporter questioned Michelle Obama's judgment in wearing a $7,000 gown at tonight's state dinner for German Chancellor Angela Merkel, noting that other guests "dressed more modestly."
Writing on Twitter, CBS News reporter Christine Delargy said:
Gowns by Michelle designer Naeem Khan retail avg of $7,000. Good, bad image for Obama in poor economy? Most din guests dressed more modestly 30 minutes ago via Twitter for BlackBerry®
In a previous Tweet, Delargy noted her fashion expertise:
Michelle in Naeem Khan tonight. Wore same designer @ 1st state din for Indian PM. @markknoller has record of everything else. I have fashion about 1 hour ago via Twitter for BlackBerry®

What really bothers this CBS reporter is the fact the dress is white. /s

That is a beautiful dress, but it still doesn’t look right on her body shape. And way too long; I wonder why she didn’t get it hemmed properly?

“I think you misunderstood the comment. She didn’t wear the same dress that she wore at the state dinner they held for the Indian PM in Nov. of 2009. The Kahn dress she wore at the first dinner was a strapless. The dress in this recent picture is a new dress by the same designer.”
I think you misunderstood my post. It was making fun of fashion postings on this site and showing I don’t know squat about fashion as evidenced by the Robert Hall suit remarks. In other words I was poking fun at myself and the article. Go ahead and give me a zero for humor and a 100 for humus.

Nice hair, she looks like Buckwheat in drag. 7000. gown to show her fat stomach, flat chest and enormous arse. She’s always the biggest one in the room, including the men.

LMAO! Did you forge the sarcasm tag? Good wig? It looks like Buckwheat’s hair. The dress accentuates her tiny chest, her fat stomach and her enormous butt.

Someone needs to photoshop a “wide load” sign onto that butt. They don't make one wide enough!

I agree. It is refreshing to see her dressed as if she had some class. Twice in one day no less, who’da thunk?
It is a dress not many of us could pull off—maybe in black, but not white.
