Michelle Obama Bringing Glamor to Moscow (Shower Curtain Fashion Alert!)
Yahoo News ^ | CATRINA STEWART

Posted on 07/04/2009 4:39:49 AM PDT by Dallas59

MOSCOW – Michelle Obama brings her superstar glamor to Moscow this weekend as she accompanies her husband on his summit with the Russian president.

But the American first lady, who has wowed publics in the U.S. and Europe with her easy elegance and charm, will perhaps face a bigger challenge in winning over a Russian public that has scant respect for women who grab the limelight from their powerful husbands.

In a country where a presidential candidate once quipped he'd sooner pack his wife off to a convent than allow her to dabble in politics, Russia still has trouble with the concept of an empowered woman behind the throne.

You know what? She’s not ugly. She is sour, angry, resentful, and arrogant, and these traits come out on her face, but the basic architecture of her face is not at all bad. She could be actually pretty if she were filled with love, joy, and peace. The best plastic surgeon for a middle-aged woman is Jesus.

And she is not fat. She is clearly carrying some extra weight on her thighs and butt, same as most of us other middle-aged women. It’s not easy getting that off, especially when you have to sit through two or three really delicious official meals every day. Most of us would not mind her ten or fifteen pounds on the caboose if she were a Republican. We never minded when Laura Bush or Barbara Bush put on some extra weight because they were lovely women.

It’s this insistence that she is a great beauty and a fashion icon that is maddening. The “great beauty” line is of course designed to alleviate the liberal guilt of the mass media. I believe it’s a bit like modern art: if you say it’s all ugly, stupid, degenerate garbage, you’ll be labelled a philistine and a racist.

Obama and Michelle desecrate the sacred ground that is the White House by their very presence there.

Why do they insist on this Charade about MO being a fashion icon? Do they think the rest of us are blind?

“.....superstar glamor.....”

“.....wowed publics.....”

“.....easy elegance and charm.....”

“..... the edgy fashion sense that has attracted a nationwide following.....”

Michelle Obama is a completely average middle aged woman.

As George Bush once said, this is the “the soft racism of lowered expectations.”
