spotlight, how Mrs Obama
became a style icon

Michelle Obama, who turns 49 today, has proven her fashion savvy time and again since she was introduced as first lady in a yellow sheath and coat by Isabel Toledo on Inauguration Day 2009 - so much so that we don´t discuss it nearly as much as we used to. Four years ago, there was a daily barrage in the media: Jason Wu gown! J. Crew gloves! Jimmy Choo shoes! It remained that way for months and even years. There was the Naeem Khan beaded strapless gown for the first state dinner in the Obama White House,

This appears in the Daily Mail UK, thus, many pics.

The AP "reporters" - - both male and female - - must have giant muscles from carrying all that water for Zippy & Moochie.

Gunga Din never carried nearly as much.

Just when you thought the ap couldn´t outdo themselves - "a style icon with substance."

I have a problem with criticizing her for how she looks. I´m not a ravishing beauty either. But I do dress appropriately and my daughters make sure I don´t embarrass the family in any way. She does not represent the country well in any way.

Rarely does she dress appropriately for her "position." Most of the time her clothes look too small or too "young" for her. When she wears her belts up under her boobs it looks ridiculous. Style icon - definitely not! With substance - maybe so?!

Mrs Obama is a comely woman - she is tall, not overweight. With top fashion designers (and without budget constraints) sewing her gowns to custom fit - she can and does pull off a striking figure (unlike the black widow spider outfit of her own choosing years ago!). So I will not criticize her for these things. What I find appalling is her tone deafness to the economic disasters unfolding all around the country as wrought by her and her husbands´ ideologies, the wanton spending sprees on vacations and evening gowns, travel and parties, so often paid by taxpayers - all the while wagging a finger and telling the populace it is too fat, too greedy and too selfish. That and the fawning media that gets the vapors and faints at her feet as if she has actually EVER accomplished an actual deed above and beyond wife and mother. Something we commoners have done for ages, and a far cry better.

I work for a department store and believe me, you can´t find anything she wears in my store. I never see anyone, no one, imitating her ´style´. It is just so ridiculous. I know what haute couture is and I know ready-to-wear and I have no idea where this ´great style´ comes from. Perhaps from her grandma´s closet circa 1955 and grandma was a hobbit...

Count me grateful that the ´belt under the breasts´ thing never caught on. Michelle is no ´style icon´ nor does she have any substance. She is just a female version of her snarky husband.

All that the pink Tracy Reese dress was missing was the half back shoulder pads.

MO flunks the style icon test. The image that comes to mind is of Mrs. Laura Bush in her feminine skirt suit, contrasted with MO in her too tight, seams nearly splitting pants suit, yapping on her cell phone while walking to the 9/11 memorial service in Pennsylvania a couple of years ago.

Saw MO at a U of Oregon graduation this past summer, and I found her pleasant enough. Surprise! She was doing her part there to keep her brother in a coaching job he was overdue to be fired from. Nevertheless, she isn´t one of us, and doesn´t want to represent the good women of America as much as root and loot and shower herself and him with glory and praise.

I have always said that with enough money you could make anyone look good and goodness knows she has spent plenty to look this good..but I was wrong. It´s that greedy heart you can´t mend.

She only cares about the price tag. Wonder how many she actually pays for today.

I looked at some older photos of her today and she has become increasingly lighter in skin tone since 2008.

40, Empress Alexandra and her sister, grand Duchess Elizabeth , were both very beautiful women by the standards of their day. Born into minor German nobility, they both married into the Russian Royal family. Both were martyred for their Orthodox Christian faith by atheist Communists. Im sure you meant to compare Moochie to some communist hag, not to Tsaritsa Alexandra, a devoted wife and mother to 5 children who also were brutally murdered with their parents. Communist propaganda against the Romanovs has been disproven in post-Communist Russia by its own archives. Seems they lied to the world but warehoused the truth. Truth has been the first casualty of the ØbaMugame regime. Sorry, but you touched a nerve.

What substance?????

The Moochle spends money for fashion and to try and look like a lady but the liberals have always enjoyed the "All flash, no clue" kind of existence.

Her food program is at best a punch line to a very poor joke, with little if any factual basis and her hypocrisy in personal behavior is not an example I would want my kids to follow.

She likes to play at being "First lady" and traveling at great expense on a whim and wasting as much of my money as she can.

So what is her substance ??????????????????????????????????

A major tea party group is planning protests at Internal Revenue Services nationwide Tuesday following revelations earlier this month that the tax agency had flagged organizations with the words "tea party" or "patriot" for additional scrutiny.The protests were originally scheduled only for Cincinnati, where the IRS has said employees responsible for the targeting were based. But Tea Party Patriots head Jenny Beth Martin tells Whispers she received requests to protest across the country. A call to action on the group´s web site tells supporters that "the IRS is out of control" and so

President Obama will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in California on June 7-8, the White House announced Monday. It will be Mr. Obama’s first meeting with Mr. Xi since he became president of China in March. They previously met in Washington in 2011 when Mr. Xi was vice president. The talks come amid heightened U.S. tensions over cyberattacks reportedly originating in China. But the Obama administration said it has been pleased with Beijing’s cooperation in trying to persuade North Korea to reduce its belligerent military actions this spring.

The Indiana attorney general’s office confirmed Monday it is investigating a security breach in which Social Security numbers and other personal information were posted online for roughly 44,000 low-income Americans who applied for a federal program that provides discount Internet and phone service. The program was nicknamed the “Obamaphone” during the 2012 election, though it actually started long before President Obama took office. Indiana reportedly has the highest number of applicants, roughly 17,400, who were signed up by TerraCom Inc. and the affiliated YourTel America Inc. Applicants from at least 26 states were exposed to the security breach,

WASHINGTON- Apple Inc. has used an elaborate web of offshore subsidiaries to avoid paying billions of dollars in U.S. taxes on $44 billion in foreign income over the past four years, a Senate investigation has found. Many of the tactics, such as cost-sharing arrangements, are common among large multinational corporations seeking to shift profits to countries with lower tax rates. The investigation did not find Apple violated any laws.But three of its subsidiaries in Ireland claim to have no responsibility to pay income taxes to any country, according to a 40-page, bipartisan report released Monday

Monday afternoon, ABC News released a chilling report that details what journalists have faced while trying to get some answers from the Cincinnati IRS office, which is where a majority of the Tea Party targeting took place. According to ABC, an "armed uniform police officer with the Federal Protective Service" "escorted" reporters through the public building. ABC says if the intent wasn´t to "scare off" employees who might talk, "it was the effect." ABC News is also hearing conflicting reports from Cincinnati IRS employees and the IRS Headquarters in Washington.

CINCINNATI- Few workers know the IRS Cincinnati office better than Bonnie Esrig, who worked there for 24 years. She retired from her job as a senior manager in January. Esrig said she did not recall any discussion of politics in the office. "Politics and religion were things people generally didn´t talk about at work," she said. Esrig did not work on political cases and was not connected to the applications at the center of the controversy. But she worked in the same office where fewer than 200 people were dealing with 73,000 applications for exemptions last year.

On her blog this afternoon, Fox News’ On the Record host Greta Van Susteren wrote that the Department of Justice should feel “lucky” they did not hack into her emails like they did with her colleague James Rosen several years ago. While that sounds like a veiled threat against the DOJ, Van Susteren was actually making a joke about how her personal email account mostly contains correspondence and information regarding her sick dog named Audrey: Had Justice hacked into my personal email account this weekend, they would have had to sort through all the emails from the vet

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington and Ralph Bunche and Langston Hughes and George Washington Carver and Ralph Abernathy and Thurgood Marshall and, yes, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These men were many things to many people and they knew full well the role that racism played in their life. But when it came to their own accomplishments and sense of purpose, they had no time for excuses. Every one of you has a grandma or an uncle or a parent whose told you at some point in life

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?"
