“Yes, I won it by defeating Hulk Hogan, Jake the Snake, George the Animal, and the entire Von Eric family simultaneously in a steel cage death match.”

Maybe she is diabetic and has an insulin pump. I have a friend who has one, she wears it in the back on the waist band of her skirt or pants. Maybe MO uses a pump and the wide belts keep the thing securely in place. It is just a thought, other wise I can’t see why she wears the awful belts with everything. She would look so much better if she didn’t wear a belt at all.

The problem now is the DBM has told her a hundred times how wonderful her “signature style” belts are so she wears them constantly now.

Isn’t that Susan Sarandon in that picture with Michelle?

Girl in Uniform: "Sit-ups work better Mrs Obama"

[Lucky9teen]

This is my belt! There are many like it, but this one is mine!

[Dewey Revoltnow]

Girl on right: Dayummmm! You iz one ugly white woman.

[Muzzle_em]

She is one ugly...

(well, you know the rest)

The only time it looks acceptable is when it is worn over a dress.

Maybe it’s a hiatal hernia and the belt is really a truss?

[happygrl]

She thinks that this makes her a “Beltway Insider.”

That's the Best comment on MO's belt that I've seen on any of these threads.

[happygrl]

they use those types of belts on the elderly to help pick them up when the fall.

It’s easier and safer for the caregivers in the assisted living facilities than trying to grab them, especially if the person is heavy.

This poster is not joking.

It's really true.

My own comment is that there is nothing about these belts that is flattering to MO.

Nothing.

When did Michelle win the WWF championship?

[dragonblustar]

This was from a few days ago. She really does have "one for every occasion".

[kcvl]

That is exactly what it looks like! I couldn’t figure it out but now I can!

[School of Rational Thought]

Maybe she likes to be “restrained”. It wouldn’t be surprised since it was disclosed she and BHO like to fist.

[GivemeaBREAK!]

my wife’s a nurse amd she got one of those belts for her to pick up my MIL

MO is really big hipped and tall, close to 200 lbs and if she falls helping to carry around her & BO’s ego she would be difficult to pick up.

The Secret Service may have requested she wear the belt in case they needed to carry out of an attack.
