This is a very odd picture...

What's going on here??

Obama think Michelle is Mary Poppins.

Does she even use a mirror when she dresses herself? Is she color-blind? Does she intentionally dress like a fucking circus clown? Every picture I see of her is an even worse fashion travesty than the time before.

If I, a heterosexual male, who lives in rock band t-shirts and jeans, can look down on how someone else dresses, you know it's bad.

The umbrella is wide enough that it's awkward to pass through the gate, so he's passing it over since he's tall enough to do that.

Well that's not a very funny caption. Come on you can do better!

My first thought was: Someone's putting the finishing touches on a Modern Art exhibit.

Probably the more practical reaction is to check the umbrella for explosives, though.

Bush's fault.

It is the clearest indication yet that he will pull out too soon.

It's obvious that the bar is racist by not allowing Obama to pass through!!

He can't even do the limbo standing up straight?

I was gonna go with a gust of wind given the odd angle...

Although, I can understand you not wanting to see him as having lost control while simultaneously soaking someone else...

In this picture, Obama is modeling his illegal immigration policy to help America understand where he's coming from.

Worst road show production of 'Singin' in the Rain'...ever!

I'll go with the gust of wind theory as well, considering the weather in DC, along with pretty much the entire Atlantic coast, has been affected by the several hurricanes/tropical storms currently rattling along between Bermuda and Nova Scotia.

Clearly certain members of WF have never had to struggle with a wayward umbrella...yet another indicator that too many Americans tend to drive everywhere, even if it's only a couple of blocks.

The only thing "odd" about it is that it wasn't a Secret Service agent carrying the umbrella.

The only thing odd in that picture is Blackie-O's "fashion sense". She's a waddling billboard of what not to do when putting together an outfit.

Isn't there anyone on her taxpayer-funded entourage that can pull her aside and tell her stripes and floral prints don't go together, especially when none of the colors match?

Didn't realize you were a finalist on Project Runway.

It's a dress, i.e., all one piece, not separates, probably designed by someone who makes more money in a year than you and I combined will see in a lifetime.

Don't quit your Day Job.

Who the fuck cares how she's dressed? Am I in a room full of flaming assclown fashion designers, here? Jesus.

^Aw, yanno, in their desperation to attack the man, they go after his wife.

I don't recall anyone taking Laura Bush to task for her Avon Lady ensembles...

Laura Bush wasn't real.

She was a robot...a Stepford wife.


She never, ever blinked.

Hardly. As First Lady, like it or not, she helps sell the United States of America. Michelle Obama looks like she can't dress herself. Every outfit she wears she she's in public looks like she has no sense of style or is just hangin' in the hood, or clashes. Carla Bruni doesn't have that problem. And that's before you even get to the problems her huge ass and tall legs add to the mix.

Say what you will about Laura Bush being a Stepford Wife, but she never had the problem of looking like she couldn't dress herself. Hillary Clinton may have been a busybody bitch that had no reason to be involved with politics, but she could pull off the pantsuit. Babs, Nancy, Rosalyn, Betty, they all knew how to dress in public and how to present themselves. I don't think you'll ever find a picture of Laura Bush glaring at the wife of a head a state with pure contempt like that picture of Michelle eyefucking Carla Bruni.

Do you choose all of your elected officials on the basis of their spouses' wardrobes? Obviously you'd be happier in France.

Depends. Does the wife of our mythical political candidate get presented before world leaders, make all kind of speaches on her husband's behalf, and generally represent the USA wherever she might go?

Actually, the true Stepford Wife of the First Ladies is in fact, Michelle Obama.

People who have known Michelle for over 20 years know that the new Michelle is not the real Michelle. The real Michelle is indeed your stereotypical "Angry Black Woman" feminist. Remember now, she was also the breadwinner in her family for the longest time, when Barack was just starting out his political career (this goes back to her days at Sidney Austin Law Firm and working for the Daleys). But, when her husband began running for President, their handlers gave Michelle a "makeover" (remember her first appearance on the View back in 2008, and how a big deal was made about her "makeover). They gagged her so that she would appear "more docile" to the American public.

Anyway, I could actually respect Michelle if she would just be herself. I think America is ready for strong, independent First Ladys, and even if some would disagree, I don't think that should be an excuse to pretend to be something you're not. Just be who you are, it's all you can be, after all!!

But no, apparently they Stepforded Michelle in order to make her "less controversial" and she went right along with it. So in a way, the phony Michelle is quite an insult to equal rights and opportunities for women.

Obviously you've raised this objection with all previous First Ladies, but you've neglected to share your judgments with us here. Perhaps you can do a rundown for us now. Who knows? If Tim Gunn ever steps down, maybe you can have his job.

BTW, I'm not defending Mrs. Obama's choices, just amused at how important this is to you.

Aw, go on. You're just annoyed that she didn't fall into the "baking cookies" trap.

It's one dimension of it, a dimension fostered by tabloid journalism and swallowed by people who believe the Moon landings were faked.

O RLY?

Me thinks I'll take Hillary Clinton's delicious, sumptuous Chocolate Chip cookies over Michelle Obama's bitter, clingy, arugula socialist shortbreads.

You know what I'm talking about. Not the cookies qua cookies, but having the quote about "baking cookies and having teas" blown out of proportion by the media.

I make better cookies than all of them because I use real butter and sugar, by damn. Real butter and sugar.
