I don't know about you, but when I paint fixtures with a sloppy broad brush, I make sure to wear my finest, most expensive designer shirts. Just like Michelle Obama.
Below are photos of Michelle "Antoinette" Obama wearing a $207.90 t-shirt by Tom Binns and John Eshaya at a National Day of Service and Remembrance event at the Vinson Hall Retirement Community in McLean, Va. on Saturday.
I suppose if she got paint on it she can claim it as a charitable deduction. The rich are just different from us.

A woman lucky enough to have a job in the Obama economy would have to work nearly 30 hours at the federal minimum wage to be able to afford one of Michelle Obama's throwaway designer painting shirts.

The t-shirt is not the worst thing she’s ever worn. Admittedly that would be hard. But it’s got that QVC look to it.
Cool pics.
$200 ? LOL .. I’d be a wee bit agitated too!
Drudge should post this. Excellent find.
What’s the story behind that huge vain on her “painting” arm? Did she just finish pumping some iron? The only “muscle” vains you see on her sissy husband are the ones in his forehead from all the strain in destroying a free nation in record time.
Please stop repeating this socialist mantra. "The only difference between rich and poor is that the rich have money" --- M. Forbes.
Obamas are different from you and me, but that is because they are class-conscious, elitist pigs, which they were, I assure you even before they became rich.
If this does not help, think of the Rockefeller, the first billionaire, who led a charitable Christian life. Think of Malcolm Forms, whom even envious enemies could never accuse of being elitist. Oprah Winfrey asked him, "How did you manage to raise your children so normal with all that wealth, all those lavish boat parties?" He replied: "Are you kidding? My children hated those parties: they were the ones who cleaned the boat afterward."
Money does not make people more or less moral: people have a choice. The view that the rich are less moral has originated with 19th-century socialists --- Proudhon and particularly Marx. You should be aware of the company you keep.
That thing costs over $200? She should have waited for her change (unless it was given to her which is probably how she got it).
Walmart has better looking t-shirts for around $15!
Shelf ass paid 200 for that?
Ya can get about the same thing at walley world for about 6.50.
Michelle Fashion Police Alert Ping!
FReepmail GOP_Lady if you want on or off this ping list
They should have given her this one instead...

Well, in this case, don't blame Obamas: it is we ourselves, the people of the United States, gave them millions by buying their books. Yes, we gave her this T-shirt, but we gave it voluntarily. That was the choice the sheeple wanting a messiah made when buying his books.
Isn’t she just a joy. /s
“it is we ourselves, the people of the United States, gave them millions by buying their books”
...I didn’t buy any of their “books” nor did I vote for them. I’m sure that shirt along with every other tacky item she wears and owns is paid for via tax payer money.
If that’s what she paid for that old looking shirt she was ripped off.
All better and more classic looking as well.
Just as I believe Michelle never had dirt under her fingernails before starting her “garden”, I do not believe she even held a paintbrush before this photo op.
Better shirt that costs a lot less
As long as it was FUBU she doesn’t care.
