NEW YORK (AP) - Michelle Obama's striking red-and-black dress worn Tuesday night as her husband became president-elect of the United States was designed by Narciso Rodriguez. It was based on a style shown during Rodriguez's spring '09 runway show in New York.
Meanwhile, President-elect Barack Obama wore the same style dark-navy suit custom-made by Hart Schaffner Marx that he wore at the Democratic Convention, the company says. Hart Schaffner Marx makes its suits in the Obamas' home state of Illinois.
The couple's daughter Malia wore a red bubble-hem dress, and younger daughter Sasha wore a black dress with a bow.
Naturally, I mean the Groucho-kind; is there another? What a surreal, hellish and vital 4 years we have ahead of us...
Chin up!
More important to the MSM-How much did Palin pay for her shoes on election nite!
I think that she should fire the designer. Whomever is advising her on style should also be fired because she always looks like she just walked out of the local honkytonk.
Good point. It was bad when the GOP dressed Palin up - it's ok for Mrs. O to wear this & that.
Yeah, she’s disgusting. You can’t fake class...
On an equal level with my abhorrance of an Obama presidency is the First Lady’s brutal face splashed everywhere. It makes my skin crawl... just when I was hoping to see Cindy and Sarah daily, too
Then there’s Biden... basically America’s first cyborg statesmen. I hear him and Kerry go to the same mechanic *rimshot*
I told my friends I thought she looked like a pregnant alien with that big red patch in her midriff. Good grief, is it possible she actually tried that dress on and said, “Yeah, that’s a good idea!”??? OMG
That dress was awful...lol. She looked like a matador...lol!
How could that be since she says she only shops at j Crew— why would she wear and expensive designer dud
and it wasnt even flattering on her as Heidi Klum would say “Her butt looks big no?”
Crap, you made me look. I agree, the dress was ugly
So I wasn’t the only one that thought that dress made her look fat???? I thought it made her look prego also.
One thing you must admit - Cindy and Sarah always looked classy - like a First Lady and VP should! Mrs O always looks like she just walked out of Walmart! I have never seen her in anything even remotely stylish. She always wears those ugly sack-dresses... And she paid a designer for that - ugh!!!
Guess there’s no accounting for taste (or brains when voting apparently!) Well at least she wasn’t wearing FUBU!
"The red is the red of the communist flag and symbolises material equality, or the principle of "from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs". The black is the black of the anarchist flag and symbolises social freedom, the freedom of each individual to do as they please so long as their actions don't cause harm to others. Together red and black symbolise libertarian communism. It goes diagonally as a negation of nationalism and a reaffirmation of internationalism." (From Flags of the World)
I notice they're not wearing red-white-and-blue on this oh-so-important night.
With this election bought and paid for by outside influences, and with the damage pelosi, reid and bho will do in the next 2-4 years with rigging election laws we may have seen the last Republican President GW Bush in our life times. " As Scottish Philosopher Alexander Tytler is credited with observing: A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.

Let him and his America-loathing followers have what they want; just leave us Old Glory!
Foul
Nothing O does is on accident... he’s way too clever for that; this is a planned dig at those who aren’t braindead enough to just open their eyes and look
His arrogance makes Bubba look like an oasis in the desert... never thought I’d see the day I could say that about any candidate
Hmmmm, obviously much thought went into coordination. So, uh, why did it look like a giant black widow spider? I looked up the symbolism of something like that and found: 1. Black widow spiders eat their husbands 2. the colors black and red represent marxism and the inverted red triangles represent anarchy. yikes
Do you think she is dressed like a black widow? (think it over)
For some reason I find myself humming “Lady Marmalade.”
Thanks for posting that. I thought something so awful looking must have had some hidden significance.
Hmmmmm.
