Will Michelle Obama be dropping a thank-you note to to Nia-Malika Henderson? Interviewed on MSNBC today, the Politico reporter dismissed the suggestion that it was a mistake for the First Lady to turn up at a food bank wearing $540 French sneakers. For good measure, Henderson slipped in an invidious comparison with Ronald Reagan’s beloved, referring to her as “Queen Nancy.”

Here was the exchange between Henderson and the MSNBC host:

Put her on the White House payroll ping to Today show list.

Pretty sure she is.

The difference is Nancy encouraged people to:

“Say No to Drugs!”

Michelle encourages people to:

“Say No to Wealth!”

“Say No to High Paying Careers!”

“Say No to Ownership!”

[Secret Agent Man]

Of course not. We should call her “Queen Michelle”. No need to split any of the spotlight by mentioning any other name.

They are rubber water skis.

Indeed. It makes her more like Queen Latifa.

The Reagans were for everyone having the freedom to become the best they wanted to be and to reap the benefits of their hard work

The Obamas want everyone, except their friends and partners, to give everything to them so they can skim off the top and then hand out the leavings to all the lazy people who leach off of society.

. . .shoes bad enough; but does Michelle NOT have a full length mirror available? Beyond the 'in-your-poor-face' shoes; Michelle's too-tight-in-crotch-and-butt-pants are pathetic. Michelle needs to repeat; wear them once; shame on you; (did no one tell her?). . wear them twice; shame of me. . .

Wear them more than twice - and Michelle has - then we can only guess she has no shame whatsoever.

Why would a First Lady give herself a wedgie. I guess “if it feels good, do it”.

It DOES mean she chooses FUGLY shoes. She is no fashion icon.

I was thinking more like Imelda Marcos. But no, Imelda had more class.

Sorry but the referance “Queen Nnacy” is used for Nacy Pelosi not Nancy Regan.

[Marysecretary]

These people sicken me.

[surely_you_jest]

True enough. Nancy Reagan had taste. Michelle carries a straight razor in her shoe.

[The Great RJ]

For a poor “street organizer's” wife she has rather high end tastes. Of course the Obama’s think nothing of extravagances on the tax payer's dime...like $100/pound Japanese steaks, flying in pizza from St Louis, Michelle having her personal make-up woman or flying Air Force One to New York for a “photo-op”. I would really like to know who was on that flight besides the crew.

There should be a passenger manifest. Which, since it is a government owned aircraft, is a public record subject to the Freedom of Information Act. File a FOIA request. It will be denied, of course, but the resulting litigation to force its release will be enlightening.

I see the first lady of camel toe strikes again.

“Queen Nancy” had class...unlike Michelle.
