Even Aunt Esther always wore a dress.

There's been a big fuss this week because Michelle Obama wore shorts. She's worn shorts before - to walk the dog, do stuff around the White House. But the photos of her wearing them in that iconic descending-from-Air-Force-One-onto-the-tarmac setting proved too much for the media. Obamas? Check. Summer news doldrums? Check. Controversy? Close enough. It was a story.
And people reacted. The Today Show's poll on whether she should have shown that much thigh got one of the show's biggest responses ever, with 83% pro-shorts. Local papers found "experts" to discuss the implications of the shorts for the Obama White House, international papers analyzed what it said about American culture, the blogosphere took up every angle from what this said about the objectification of women to the taxonomy of the shorts: Hot pants? Cutoffs? Booty Shorts? (See pictures of Michelle Obama's style evolution.)

I think the picture in post #23 demonstrates the entire issue—including the fact that she wasn’t wearing any bra! Thanks heavens she at least wore a shirt over her bra-less A-shirt!
“You are a temporary resident of the nation’s highest office. Try show show some respect for it.”
Because before you know it, you are going to be outta there.
I doubt very much that the ungrateful, hateful, bored 0bozo’s very much cared for the view before them of our beautiful & majestic, but formerly great USA. I hope & pray that America will throw these commie pig bastards out of office and with God’s help & mercy, restore and bless our nation once again.
She looks awful, but I don’t think the shorts are too short.
She looks sloppy, nut slutty.
I tend to agree, I really don’t care, especially about how much thigh is showing.
I do wish she would show more respect for Air Force One by dressing for the position that allows her to fly in it.
The rastafar-i look on the kid is tacky too.
Even Aunt Esther always wore a dress.
She kinda look like Al Sharpton there...
Does she have 6 toes?
I just threw up in my mouth a little!
......the angry, hulking, man-wife beast MaBelle Michelle exits from the car, with her typical hulking lurching angry demeanor.

“I do wish she would show more respect for Air Force One by dressing for the position that allows her to fly in it.”
Yes, that’s much more to the point.
Makes me proud to have such a lady representing us in the white house... *barf*
She surely is one of the greats... Lady Dianna... Princess Grace... and now Bag Lady! *barf*
“Does she have 6 toes?”
Yabba dabba do.
That’s also obvious in the first photo.
Nothing screams ghetto like a purple plastic watch! *rolls eyes*
As they say in the South, “Trashy and common.”
Here's how people used to dress to go to a picnic!
