Dear Mrs. Leader: Media Push 'Raves' for Mrs. Obama's Convention Dress

Insist GOP Wives Need Her Fashion Sense

The fashionistas in the “objective” press displayed their favoritism by boosting Michelle Obama’s convention speech dress and quoted flagrant Michelle-boosters like Kate Betts, who insisted whatever stylishness the Republican women had they owed to the pioneering Mrs. Obama.

On Wednesday, the Associated Press posted a story headlined, “Michelle Obama gets raves for Tracy Reese dress,” and out came the bare-arms worship:

First lady Michelle Obama got rave reviews for the custom-made Tracy Reese pink and copper dress she wore while giving a tribute to her husband at the Democratic National Convention. The sleeveless dress showed off Mrs. Obama's famously toned arms and the length modestly skirted her knees.

The dress also showed off Mrs. Obama’s famously slavish admirers in the press corps. The Washington Post Express tabloid interviewed Reese for Friday’s edition and highlighted in bold text her feelings on the First Lady: “She actually has a sense of personal style, and she’s not bound by first-lady dictates. It’s refreshing....you’re used to them all wearing a red suit.”

Doesn’t matter what a Wookie wears, they are still a Wookie. I get so sick of the over-the-top fawning for this completely not-special person. She does, and has done, nothing to deserve all this praise.

Actually, I find this sycophantic liberal fawning about her couture and attire very racist.

If I were a black woman, or black man for that matter, I would be positively incensed.

It was a nice expensive dress which successfully hid the “Broad Beam” from the waist down.

If Mooselle was white and dressed like she does, she would be laughed out of DC. The woman has no class or taste. In January when they are living in Hawaii, she can wear t-shirts, ugly shorts and flip-flops and no one will care.

MSM, pushing a cult like worship of Obama's...reason Clint Eastwood's talk was so effective, He brought them down to just people who need to be let go.

They used the critique of clothes to ridicule Palin.

Michelle Obama - Queen Of The Whiners And Snivelers

Is there anyone (except liberals) who isn't sick of hearing this woman's whining voice?

As my late husband would say “She’s so bow-legged, she couldn’t hem a hog up in a ditch.”
Spent a little more on the outfit than Mrs. Romney did on that tee shirt she got so much flak for.

My memory is shot these days, but I don’t recall the media going ga-ga over Laura Bush’s dresses.

For all this fawning over Moo’s fashion sense I don’t see anyone rushing out to dress like her. Their actions speak louder than do their words.

Yikes! That “tank top” cut makes her shoulders look even broader than they are. It also makes the dress look more appropriate for an evening patio party.

That said, it’s nicer than the clown costumes she usually wears.

I’ve rarely seen her looking good.

Anyone with a butt that big should not wear 90% of the crap she does.

Freepers have a wonderful photo file of Michelle’s dressing style for which she will always be remembered.

Yeah, I thought the dress was pretty. They also did a nice job with her hair and makeup. But I had the opposite problem from her shoulders. I thought she looked good behind the podium, but away, dang, that's a "wide stance".

Agreed...were she to walk down the street naked, her entire posterior would be covered with lipstick.

You can put lipstick on a pig and it is still a pig. You can spend a ton of $$$$$$$ on the First Frump and she still can’t stand like a lady, walk like a lady or behave like a lady.
