RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — For first lady Michelle Obama, just a few hours in Saudi Arabia were enough to illustrate the stark limitations under which Saudi women live.

Joining President Barack Obama for a condolence visit after the death of the King Abdullah, Mrs. Obama stepped off of Air Force One wearing long pants and a long, brightly colored jacket — but no headscarf.

When Michele arrived at the tarmac she held out her hand wto the Suad’s which some ignored.....as also they did in the receiving line. In the receiving line she had to stand off/behind Obama....and sit quietly...basically ignored.

Now this is a woman who well has race issues to begin with....I tend to think her scowling so much was because she expected the usual admiration she’s accustomed to...and is showing them clearly by her expressions etc. she’s not happy they didn’t give it to her.

She’s defiante most of the time anyway....

Most pictures shown in ME countries have her entire body blocked out! Ha!

She should have never worn succh bold colors, and she knew it...this is just her own “show” of defiance. So since she “played”...they simply blocked her out! LOLOL

She missed seeing the Taj Mahal and all the adoration in India to be ignored and treated like a second class citizen at best in Saudi...

LOL

It is surprising she does not have a headscarf. Maybe the whitehouse handler, Valerie, forgot to give her direction. Regardless, her outfit looks like it came from a thrift store and is distasteful, especially considering this was a visit to “pay respects” to a “king”.

Her God in life is Her, and there's no pleasing Herself.

Self worship is the Obama way. Hate and contempt for all others.

Her mother is a horrible person who bitches about everything constantly and is always
on Obama calling him a punk and probably worse.

So just remember, she is her mother who shall never be pleased.

We would be critical of her for wearing a scarf. Good for her for not covering her head.
