If the rumors are true and Michelle is a tranny, is he/she/it even required to wear a scarf under their law?
one of the few times I am proud of what the first lady has done while her husband has been in office now if she could stop he husband from bowing before Saudi royalty.
I’m actually okay with a woman who has to visit a mosque wearing a covering on her head. If I were visiting the Vatican I would wear a scarf or a mantilla. (I have one in my sock drawer.) But certainly I would not wear one for an entire country.
LAMO, if one of them should wear a head scarf it’s her husband. I’m still not convinced that it’s just not anti-wookie sentiment.
I think the Mrs. Roper mu-mu was unsexy enough that the veil wasn’t necessary.
Even though the new king of Saudi Arabia has been in office for less than a week, he’s already ordered four beheadings for crimes against Allah. Two of the death sentences were merely for selling illegal drugs.
So imagine how angry the blood-thirsty new King — a seventy-nine year-old in the early stages of dementia — must be at Michelle Obama for not covering her head in his presence.
Speculation that Michelle was trying to stand up for Muslim women is absurd, since she has never done anything on behalf of Muslim women, not even deigning to appear with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the spokeswoman whose mission is to make the world more aware of Muslim women’s suffering.
Michelle and her husband are just blundering fools. From chewing gum during a solemn ceremony in India, to taking a selfie during a ceremony to honor Nelson Mandela, and now Michelle appearing bareheaded during a diplomatic trip to improve relations with Saudi Arabia by honoring its new king with a visit, the Obamas are destroying America’s relationships with important allies.
This is just a sign that Moochelle is just really pissed of Obama and this is her passive agressive way at “getting even” with him.
I only wish she had been carrying a big fat Bible.
Call me when the media praised Laura Bush for doing the same thing.
BO's wife does it and the media wet themselves in praise.
Pathetic.
This was not done to show our freedoms. She has worn veils in these types of situations in the past, including for the Catholic Pope at the vatican.
This was simply a deliberate insult to the Saudis.
I have a suspicion as to why, but no evidence. And I don’t think it has to do with the recent refusal to cut prodcution of oil.
Good for Michelle. Certainly better than W’s hand holding or Barry’s bowing.
This is one very rare moment indeed, in which I’m actually praising Michelle Obama. For one brief, shining moment someone finally said, “up yours, Islam.” If muslims are offended, well, too f***ing bad.
Eff the arabs. They need to be told to treat our First lady whoever she is with some modicum of respect. If it was not for our protection the House of Saud would already be toast. Somebody needs to inform those sick pedeophiles about who has the power.
When it does, we can reciprocate.
Until then - good for our First Lady.
