Michelle has been a burden on the tax payer in terms of expense when it comes to aides, secretaries, helpers, dress designers, make up artists, hair beauticians, and extensive expensive vacations.
She has been caught twice that I know of displaying her own sense of disgust for patriotism. Once, already mentioned on this board and once on the 4th of July, she was caught saying about the event, "All this for a damn flag."
Imagine Jackie Kennedy saying that. You're right. You can't.
1. My bf who cant stand the attitude of the Obamas said she did NOT say that about the flag.
What she did say that says it all was this was the first time in her adult life she was proud of America or to be an American. She did say that, and Obama did struggle to overcome his self hatred for being half white.
I find they have succeeded in alienating both white and black followings who feel sold out for politics.
2. As for the dress and image of these First Ladies, the media has changed so much to be totally fabricated these days.
I blame the popular media for spinning things unnaturally for political gain and ratings.
If Michelle had been running around in Jackies day who knows how she would have been portrayed.
Same if Jackie were followed around by todays cameras, if they would make her out to be a fashionista or a faux pas.
I look at the class these ladies portray, and I'd have to go
With the Laura Bush's and Jackie O's. And blame the media
For whatever messes were made of Hillary and Michelle
Even Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann and Ann Coulter
That are played for political positioning. Tired of these games.
If all the women stood together and delegated out the work
Among our strongest women leaders, we might lead the men in setting
Better examples of how to use our countries greatest resources
And strengths instead of fighting over who looks good on camera.
