Michelle Malkin: Mrs. Obama Goes “Incognito,” Lady Gaga-Style
Michelle Malkin.com ^ | September 29, 2011 11:39 PM | By Michelle Malkin

Posted on 09/30/2011 12:31:29 PM PDT by drewh

The East and West Wings of the White House are guilty of more cheesy stage-managing than the Emmy, Oscar, and Tony Awards shows combined.

Last week, the glamour queen wore more than $40,000 worth of diamonds while partying with hubby at several high-priced fundraisers in New York. Her bling made international headlines and photos.

To counter the negative diva buzz as most Americans face hard economic times, Mrs Obama somehow managed to turn up at an Alexandria Va. Target (with her “shopping assistant” in tow).

And somehow, coincidence of coincidences, an Associated Press photographer just happened to be there to snap her.

Snortalicious headline: “Michelle Obama shops incognito at Target (Photo).” Her shirt and sunglasses are about as “incognito” as Lady Gaga’s outfit at her younger sister’s graduation. I bring “shopping assistants” with me when I go to Target, too! My daughter pushes the cart. My son hangs off it.

Celebrity first ladies…they’re just like us!

CHEWBACCA-ETTE: “Hello, Mainstream Media. Just wanted to let you know I’ll be going to Target incognito. Oh, yeah, I’ll be wearing a hat, sunglasses, and one of those shirts like the commoners wear.”

I bet she hated having to do this photo-op.. Seriously, Queen Moochie is going to buy lysol? For the cleaning staff? Is she buying toner for the office staff? Food to stock the chef’s freezer? Do they think we are this dumb? A:Yes

Typo? 40K is not that much...

Did Moochelle go to the sport section to get a new cup and some new pads so she can play linebacker?

I think the hoopla over this is flat out goofy. If she wears $45K worth of bling on her wrists, that’s one thing, I suppose. But this is lame.

These people are about as politically tone deaf as it is possible to be. Only a candidate as inept as John McCain could have lost in '08.

I wonder who the Stupid Party will nominate next year who can possibly lose? I think it will be Romney since he is most likely to graciously lose.

I cannot think of any reason she would ever need to go shopping anywhere.

Wonder if it was the one on Beacon Hill or the one at Potomac Yard.

It was not a photo op...the Queen was out among her subjects so she could hear what they were saying about her and The One....no doubt visits from the IRS and ATF are soon to follow.

I went to one of the stories on this; and, it led me to a Facebook forum, where people who left comments had avatars. Every single comment defending this woman came from people who belonged to the same demographic group.

If you call a photo op a photo op....well, you’re just a racist.

Yes true, but they only show up when there is
something deposited in their account. Like pigeons

Just found that it was the Potomac Yard Target, which is typical. There’s always a ton of people from DC at that Target.

I’ve noticed that since she started buying Lysol, she doesn’t scratch herself in public quite as often.

So the first lady goes to target no big deal! That is unless you figure in all the security and vehicles involved, I can assure you she’s not traveling alone. Send somebody to the store next time and save us a few thousand dollars.

Honey, wearing a blouse two sizes too small does not make you look smaller. Why didn’t your mama tell you that?

Is that the “assistant” over (her) right shoulder, toting several large sacks? And why didn’t they bring environmentally-conscious reusable shopping bags? It’s not like they can use the plastic bags to throw away diapers and pet waste, like I do.

I'm sure those four armored Suburbans, and the snipers on rooftops, were a dead giveaway. I really wonder how many dozens of agencies, and hundreds of armed people, were mobilized. They probably had a bus for the media pool, too.

Potemkin shopping trip.

"Do they think we are this dumb? A:Yes"

They think their DemocRAT supporters are that stupid.
As for the rest of America, "The Regime" depends on their media ( CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, Wash. Post, NYTIMES, etc) to deceive those Americans and cover for Obama.

I see the Nike logowear is back.

During the campaign she wore it pretty much nonstop.

I figured she probably had some kind of endorsement deal since there were constant photos and videos of her everywhere.

Then after the inauguration I didn’t see it any more, until now.

This was the first time in history store security and the secret service followed around a first lady at the same time. ;-)
