"A model of style and grace" - Vanity Fair

Friday's NBC Today devoted an entire segment to photos of First Lady Michelle Obama stopping by a Target store in Alexandria, Virginia, as Capitol Hill correspondent Kelly O'Donnell – on location at the shopping center – gushed: "Check this out. Behind those dark glasses, tucked under that Nike cap, one of the world's most famous women. Yes, that is the First Lady of the United States at Target.
A sound bite was featured of The Washington Post's Amy Argetsinger touting the "wow factor" of the First Lady going to the department store. Later, O'Donnell declared: "Doing ordinary things in tough economic times can be good for a public image." A sound bite followed from left-wing Huffington Post senior politics editor Howard Fineman: "It's great PR for them, because they can say, 'Look, on this trip and others, we know what's going on outside the gates of the White House.'"

Anyone else smell photo op??
These trailer trash can’t be gone soon enough!!
this would be hilarious if the country wasnt in so much trouble
Imagine the horror if she stepped foot in a Walmart!
The WH sent an AP photographer with her...
Sounds like that guy from Storage Wars.
We are at war with Eastasia
We have always been at war with Eastasia
What did she buy at Target? Tooth brush holders? Giant bag of dog food for BO the dog? WHAT? Giant size of mouth wash? I fail to believe she likes anything at Target.
They know very well it is all staged propaganda.
I’ve never stepped foot in Wallmart either. Our Commie County won’t even consider letting them build here. Not politically correct, doncha know.

Lady GaGa, Kim Kadashian, Snooki?
Imagine the horror if she stepped foot in a Walmart!
She dress’s for it. In Walmart fashion.
"..she stop in the auto dept.for a pair of curb feelers?"
Wow. THAT’s how she was able to afford all those vacations, thriftiness! Oh,wait a minute....She’s only thifty with HER money. Ours, she spends like a drunken sailor (was she able to find any 40,000 dollar bracelets at Walmart?). This really makes her look like a major hypocrite. Maybe she thinks we little people are just thst stupid.
I guess we are also to believe that Me!chelle just grabbed the keys to “The Beast” (armoured Presidential limo) too. I guess we were supposed to NOT notice the Secret Service; the traffic disruptions...and then follow that the FLOTUS needs cleaning supplies (does she remove the 42k bangles when on toilet cleaning duty)?
This story is almost as much a fairie tale as Hope and Change.
Yes, it was.
“Another staged moment in the lives of Barack and Michelle Obama.
Michelle Obama just had to get out to Target to do a little shopping last week. But, before the shopping run the White House tipped off AP photographer Charles Dharapak so that he would be at the store to memorialize the moment.”
Who carries bags AND pushes a cart? Just asking!
