WASHINGTON, DC – After her husband’s first fashion faux pas, First Lady Michelle Obama has apparently committed her own.
Bloggers and news pundits alike are discussing Michelle’s outfit after she dressed down during a recent family vacation.
This was how she was photographed exiting Air Force One after returning from the Grand Canyon:
Her supposed faux-pas as First Lady follows not long after President Obama was criticized for wearing “mom jeans” at a baseball game.
Should this be such a big deal? Michelle was on a family vacation, not official business, and spending time in a very hot area of the United States.
Or should she be expected to represent the White House at all times, regardless of the circumstances?

Seriously, she's out on a very hot day with her family.
August 19th, 2009 at 3:25 am
Could she be uglier?! Geezus pleezus! That woman needs a makeover FAST! She could be pretty if she had the wig on she usually wears, some make-up and a better outfit…she's the frickin' First Lady for Pete's sake and she's walking around like she's a K-mart blue light special!! Get some class m'dear…please represent the U.S. better!
August 19th, 2009 at 3:28 am
Yeah, but she's the First Lady…at least she could've worn an awesome top and a cute shortie skirt or pull it off with accessories or something and the way her hair is YUCK! Put a bow on it or fluff it up or SOMETHING it's so drab, so NOT First Lady-ish…she looks like the First Lazy…not the First Lady, because it looks like she was too lazy to pick out a nice looking outfit. She knows she's in the public eye and her counterparts are other heads of state and royalty, so as First Lady she should always look her best. Save the K-mart stuff for when her man's outta office.
August 19th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
ridiculous. Nothing offensive about what she was wearing.
August 19th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
LEAVE HER ALONE!!! This is so stupid! I think she looks just fine. Its like 100 degrees outside, should she have worn a long sleeve shirt with jeans and boots lol?? I don't see the problem. Its not like there booty shorts or something. I don't think they're that short! People will say anything, get a life! He's the President and he will for a while so get used to it! If Michelle were another race it wouldn't be a big deal!
August 19th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
People in this country have too little to do if they worry about the First Lady wearing shorts!
OMG!
"signofthetimes? So…if she shopped at KMart, wouldn't that be saving $s and not spending 100s on a pair of shorts!
LMAO! Too funny GetaLife!
August 19th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
LMAO! How true.
People should stop this ridiculous banter about what Michelle wears
August 19th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
She has TWENTY personal assistants as well as a hairdresser… She should look professional out in public, and there is no excuse. A pair of capris or skirt would have looked much better. She is in the public eye and should be professional at all times. This shows poor judgement, similar to that of her husband. What fools we are….
August 19th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
She looks comfortable and respresentative of the VAST majority of the people here in THIS country! She is not Royalty, she is the First Lady of the UNITED STATES where we are FREE to dress as we please! The Obama's are probably the best respresentatives we have ever had of the working class people that make our country go round! And the fact that they are willing to remain "real people" instead of pretending to be snotty "upper-crust" is to be commended, not condemned!!! WAY TO GO MICHELLE!!!!
August 19th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
omg worry about something that f"cking matters. If she'd come out in bruno magli you'd be complaining about her wasteful spending.
August 19th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
Wow…with everything going on in America and abroad the only thing the media is focused on is First Lady Obama wearing shorts while on VACATION? Seriously…what is this world coming too? I applaud First Lady Obama for not conforming to what "society" think she should be and how she should act as First Lady. When will the media and other realize that…the Obama's are too classy to "trip" on what mainstream America say. Now my suggestion…focus on some real life issues and leave her shorts and wardrobe alone…PERIOD!!!!!
August 19th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
I couldn't have said it better myself! Kudos
August 19th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
She was on VACATION! Why would she have to look professional to have fun??? Its not like she was prancing around in a two-piece.
August 19th, 2009 at 8:54 pm
your an idiot!
August 19th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
the problem is not the shorts. Someone who looks like her should pick a different designer
August 19th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
The focus should not be on First Lady Obama's outfit it should be on. Love your neighbor as you love yourself…3JOhn 3:16 how many people have been in a position to help, but yet they were so self center they could not see past them….They are a family …..What ever is focus on shall expand….this country is at war, people are loosing jobs, healthcare is under attack and the waste of time about a pair of shorts is crazy to me…God Bless America….now get a life and get some business and stay out of Michelle's…..
August 19th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
well lets hope you look half as good as she does, you cant criticize if you dont have a leg to stand on. lets see you wear a suit and dress shoes while your on vacation.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
She is a stunning woman, whether in a gown or shorts! Leave her clothes alone!
August 19th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
look here im tired of all yall out there always talking about what she be wearing. it's her life her way. and some of yall know how yall be dressing mix match nd sh!t. and most of yall u say u love everybody in the world because GOD do but you never show it. Ever since obama became president everything he does you always have to judge it. They are human just we the rest of you. now go shove this up your head since you think you know everything.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
who cares if she's the first lady?? it's not like she looks awful. she was on VACATION with her family. cut her some slack damn.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Well said…..she is on vacation with her family. Not big news, just NORMAL… and good for them for keeping some sort of normalcy in their lives even in light of the fact that EVERYTHING they do is scrutinized by people who have no life
August 19th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Those shorts are not short shorts. Short shorts are under ones butt line. The shorts she had on are bermuda shorts. Who cares anyway!!!!! She is on vacation it's hot and she dresses the way 99% of the women her age dresses. Who cares if she is the First Lady. At least she is real and not a snit, like some we've had in the past. Get over yourself and get a life.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:23 pm
She is the First Lady, but also a mother on vacation with her family. It's to bad the press and others don't worry about whats going on in the world. Stop trying to cause problems, don't we have enough? Maybe the press should not be allowed to follow these people. That is why I stopped watching the news…the important word being NEWS…not what the first lady wore.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:23 pm
I had rATHER SEE HER DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT UGLY FACE. MMMMMMMMMMMMM THAT WOMAN IS UUUUUGUUULLLLYYYY
August 19th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
Ironically,she is dressed like a lady, and looking comfortable. It makes no difference about being first lady, she is a woman, with a woman personna, and a mom, her first example is to her God, then her family, then the white house.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
just jealous ..hello we are in 21rst century..lol
August 19th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
I think the whole point is she is trying to be comfortable, (she does not look grungy, she is clean!) and to change how people see the first lady. She has shown this with most outfits she picked out. You just don't like it because it isn't "diva-ish." Plus why do people care so much! Get over it, she is fabulous….!
August 19th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
We have economy, health care and a small thing called a war going on yet this is a head liner. I think the american people has more to be concerner with other than the length of the first lady's shorts.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
I think America has more to worry than the First Lady's clothes. I think she looks great. Like someone mentioned, if she wore anything else it would still be critisied. What she does on a family vacation is non of anyone's bussiness. She has the confidence to carry it off. LEAVE HER ALONE and worry about the economy of the country!!!
August 19th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
You are so shallow!! she is not at a ball or fancy restaurant, dummy she is at the grand canyon…the Desert!!! shorts a fine, you all shutup! and get a life! you are obviousley bored!!
August 19th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
Well I just came in from outdoors (backyard) in my underware and the lady next door was having a lemonade party for friends. Why don't we just ask the nudist camp what they think; since most of us belong to one. Or shall we call out a few names. Americans smartest people on paper but don't say a word. (SICK) GO GIRL. We never had many black visitors in the oval house. Lets get it on.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
Yes because now that the big cheese is in the Whitehouset she does not hate America anymore. There moving on up.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
True, i so agree with Pro Bama. I LOVE the fact that they are normal people and a normal family just like the rest of us Americans, they are the perfect representatives of this country and I do not find anything offensive nor wrong about what she is wearing, totally normal. The people causing a stir about this are the representatives, who are still upset that an educated black man got voted into the white house, especially right after Bush, ugh! And no, I am not an AA, just a proud democart and proud American.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
It has nothing to do with her race. Her husband holds the highest office in our land. She should be a great representation of this great land and its peoples. I dress better than that when going on vacation.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
Michelle obama dressed right. She was on vacation and in the park. It would have been wrong to dress otherwise.
She must not be compared to other first ladies because she is a lawyer and the others are not.
mrs obama is most appropriate first lady of the united states.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
remember fristlady is young she havent had any grandkids yet really she is dressing her age im with her dress attire 100% i give her my blessings now admit dont she look cute
August 19th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
You people make me disgusted to live in America…. judging our first lady like that. Why does it matter anyway??? You apparently must have no lives that you have to come on here to say nasty things about the way people dress. Sounds like someone has self image issues…. I feel sorry for people like that. Good luck in life if "issues" like the "length of Michelle Obamas shorts" are of high importance to you.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
UMM..PPL DOES IT MATTER WHAT SHE IS WEARING. DANG! SHES NORMAL JUST LIKE US. ITS ARIZONA THEY ARE IN! ITS GOING TO BE HOT. AND PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW SHORT THEY ARE??? THEY ARE GOING TO LOOK SHORTER ON HER BECAUSE OF HER LONG LEGS AND ITS BETTER TO SEE HER IN THESE SHORTS THEN HER WEARING BOOTY SHORTS AND LOOKING LIKE COMPLETE TRASH. I SAY LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE AND LET THEM LIVE..ITS CALLED BEING NORMAL. I AM PRETTY SURE EVERY ONE HAS THERE OFF DAYS. AND TO BAD THAT YOU DONT LIKE IT..YOU CANT DRESS HER.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
all yall hataz need to keep hatin cuz look where she at n look at u. my president is black ha ha ha, n his wife is a fox. 2009 time for a change
August 19th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Only a mother could love something like that.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
she looked ok to me who in their right mind would wear high-heels and a skirt on a vacation its not work dam people get off her dam she needs a broke to.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
I agree,with the economy the way it is and all the other problems in the world today,who the hell cares what she wears?? My goodness. How ridiculous. Let's take a poll on something really important, not on a pair of shorts.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
U ROCK!… people need to worry about getting a job so they can do something better with their time instead of having a freakin cow over some shorts.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
I heard all the pros and cons on mrs. Obama. and you are right she is on vacation but she's also the 24 /7 wife of the President and should realize that she represents the USA to the world. She doesn't have a private life anymore. That's the reward for her position
August 19th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
I think she looked fine ..she's on vacation..how would you dress in the Grand Canyon? Pearls & gown or shorts to be comfortable..get a life!!
August 19th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
hell the woman was on vacation, is she not a woman first and then a first lady?
August 19th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
wow leave the women alone, for pete sake shes on vacation and surely it's hot outside. The media should get a life should she wear an Armani or versace formal gown? anyhow then they woul'd say she is spending to much. Why not talk about nacy Polocis pearls is that not alot of money? Oviously they have trully much to much time on their hands,,,lol
August 19th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
why do we worry about a woman wearing short shorts on a very hot day in arizona? we should be concerned aboutthe enviroment instead of trying to justify the republican need to expose people for acting comfortably
August 19th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
Will someone wake up to the fact that these two are US people! Are they suppose to wears gowns and tux's to bed because it respresents the US????????? Cmon get right people!
August 19th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
Mrs Nicks is very right on her statement,Way to go!! You hit the nail on the head. Lets remember
what our soldiers are fighting for,Our Freedom!! That means the right for Mrs Obama to wear
shorts.Every one needs to focus on Our nation getting back to where we should be.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
Why do people make such a fuss about what the First Family wears? Seriously, who HASN'T made a fashion faux-pas in their life? People just notice more with them because they're ALWAYS on camera. Sucks for them, really. No private life so you always have to watch what you wear. Ick.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
shut up moron!
August 19th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
why would you want to wear a skirt to the grand canyon?
August 19th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
these people must hav no life if all they could talk about is Michelle wearing shorts while she was on VACATION!..i wuld love to see all of you in a suit while you are on vacation.they were nor short shorts or booty shorts..you people just try your best to find something to critisize the Obamas about..get a life!..instead of making these dumb news reports about the first lady wearing "short shorts"..report about the government& how they are screwing us over..or even better report about all the dirty cops who do drugs,shoot up cars,&take ther sweet time comming to the when we call 911..& then they get a small penalty like a week suspension or they get no penalty at all..report about how the people in new orleans still are without homes…or how they hav to pay 2morgages..1for the new apartment they were forced 2buy bcuz the govern aint doin nffn 2 help them&the second for the home they lost in the katrina when bush looked the other way!..report about the homeless& less fortunate..report about the educatipn system& how america is way behind china& japan in our studies..report about all the children & adults dying from cancer..stop talking about all the stupid thngs and report about LIFE!
August 19th, 2009 at 10:46 pm
so what..she is a normal person
August 19th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
The Title is completely wrong and misleading. Those are not short shorts. What do you expect at the Grand Cayon in 90 degree heat?? A Clinton pants suit?
August 19th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
I can't believe that the world is worried about what this lady is wearing!! you people need to get a life or you run for office and show the world what a fashion statement you wou make. by the way it will take a bit of savvy to run. that's why she's there and you're in the bleacher
August 19th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
you all are all shit head she look great and she is on an island and here is very hot all the time so you all just wish that u was the frist lady i like what you are waering what having is that the don know noting about going to and island that is all you look great
August 19th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
this just makes me angry, that people could be so stupid and make judgements on what she's wearing..
August 19th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
one thing to say u ppl r stupid, she is a normal woman, i wonder if u would be comfortable wearing high heels or some fancy shit while visiting grand canyon.GIVE ME A BREAK. She is a very classy woman.
August 19th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
THANK YOU! All of these idiots seem to keep forgetting that this particularly hideous woman is the wife of what used to be the most powerful country in the known universe! Is it a coincidence that all of the other first 'ladies' have been seen as dignified at all times? Is it a mistake that they have conducted themselves with proper decorum? I, for one, think not!
August 19th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
Get real stupid. I am happy that we have a real person. Are you prefect? She is not perfect and she is not false. This is as real as it gets. Why should you be even commenting are you the fashion police? Look at the avatar that protrays you. LOL. Come better leave the woman alone as she did not ask your opinion
August 19th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
the president of the united states love her very much. her two beautiful children love her very much. her strong black mother love her unconditionally. her white mother n law love her so much for what she has brought her intelligent son. she can gracefully stand beside him as first lady of the united states. so lets embrace my first lady and yours even if you want to or not.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
report about all the childre in fostercare..all the children being abused..againi say..REPORT ABOUT LIFE!.i hate all the dumb crap you people drum up..stop bashing the man & his family..THAT IS YOUR PRESIDENT!..he represents you weather you like it or not!..whe you say bad thing about him you are insulting yourself and your country!..if you hate the president so much….GET OUT OF HIS COUNTRY!
August 19th, 2009 at 11:08 pm
She is on vacation…come on people…seriously!!! Is she supposed to wear an evening gown while vactioning?…The shorts are not even short-shorts. Do you have nothing better to do than cut down our first lady?
August 19th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
that mean what? she's not a mom? she's not a wife? please, i say she is carrying herself well.
i hope she continues to be as real as she is.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
lets spend more time on health care than on Mrs Obama's shorts. Doesn't the press have some murderers to cover, or racists shouting Heil Hitler or dumber than dumb people trying to prevent the working middle class from having health coverage.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
Your racial undertone is all too clear…. Wig? Kmart? u're a douchebag clearly. You need help.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
Stop pulling the race card already! It is sooo over. Obama didn't get elected by blacks alone 'ya know. I am sick of the whining from Black America. You are already getting a free ride courtesy of White America! Enough already!
August 19th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
and she is a human
August 19th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
I totally agree with you. She is still human. I lived in phoenix and know how hot it can get. two thumbs up for you
August 19th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
michelle obama is nothing but class . just like you and the others like you can surely kiss her ass!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH
August 19th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
Ridiculous…..they are the "first family" not immortals!! Get real…..so so silly.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
Aman to that, I agree totally!!!
August 19th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
SHE IS BEAUTIFUL..SHE DOES NOT WEAR A WIG& YOU "M'DEAR" NEED TO SHUT YOUR MOUTH& READ TH OTHER COMMENTS I MADE ON PGE2..YOU NEED HELP..& YOUR COMMENT SOUNDS& IS VERY IDIOTIC..INSULTING YOUR OWN PRESIDENTS WIFE..CALLING HER UGLY..YOU SHULD BE ASHAMED..I KNO 4SURE U AINT WON NO BEAUTI PAGENTS..SO U HAV NO RITE TO CALL ANY1 UGLY..& DO NOT USE THE GOOD LORDS NAME IN VAIN!..U NEED JESUS..& NOTHING IS WRONG WITH KMART..MONEY IS REEAL TIGHT RITE NOW..YOU SHULD BE SHOPPING THER TO INSTEAD OF CRITISIZIN MICHELLE
August 19th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
Jude, you are stupid. Clearly, the First Lady is not.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
Why did she go for a more classy per of short ? First lady is a high honour, she is representing no only all the woman also her own country and she should dress accordingly. She is dropping the standard.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
shut the fck up.. she is representing us you idiot….when i say us i mean strong independent, strong minded, don't give a shhh about what u think type of women….or maybe she makes YOU feel a bit weak….yes she is in the white house does that mean she has to walk with a stick up her azz all day every day every minute….try doing her job then Holla Back….Ignorant anal
August 19th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
the media is 80% of the dumbing down of America….. and those are not short shorts…..dumbasses
August 19th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
This is so nuts. All the people judging her are the ones hating. The lady is in her 40's. She is wearing a pair of shorts people. She still has young children and does not have to dress like old ladies, nor will we see her dress in booty shorts either. The lady has class, I am sure we all have seen that. Remember it is time for change, just as you see a black President in office. It is what is inside that you need to consider. Bet you wish you had other things to talk about with this President dont you? You could have the President sleeping with all these woman and prostitutes, or even men for crying out loud, but you dont, so the best you all could do is talk about her shorts. This President will probably be Americas best. Get used to it!!!!!!! Lots of America voted this remember????
August 19th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
She is lower the standard.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
YOU GO FIRST LADY!!!! You are just as human and normal as the rest of us. If you want to wear walking shorts so be it… you can have a casual day just like everyone else in America. Aleast she is not sporting pajamas like some of you that get up in the morning and wear them to the store and keep them on ALL DAY and sleep right back in them…now think about that the next time you want to TRY and down the FIRST LADY'S CLOTHING… there are more important issues than her shorts…why not chat about healthcare, the war,
August 19th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
she is on vacation..she dnt hav to look cut eto relax..even if she is the first lady..that doesnt mean that she isnt a normmal person!!!!!!!!!!
August 19th, 2009 at 11:24 pm
THANK YOUU.FINALLY SOMEONE WITH GOOD SENSE!=)
August 19th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
im like get a life people, just because she wears shorts out and about. If she would have wore something that had cost alot then we would have slammed her on that. EVERYONE GET A LIFE!!!
August 19th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
Who are you to approved or disapproved my comment. Opinion is an opinion you should not judged them
August 19th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
You are right, she does not have a private life anymore, but this does not mean that she will have the approval of every American on her wardrobe. I bet my style does not match yours, and I am sure that your style dont match hers as to what you think is suitable to a first lady.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
Michelle is a trend setter, I think its wonderful for her to be herself, and not try to dress the way other individuals that were previously in her position. Michelle is respectfully dressed at all time and that's what counts; she represents quality, respect and most of all she is family oriented. Did you notice how casually dressed her daughter was, it was a family vacation. Keep in mind the first lady has class and style……..
August 19th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
u are acting lik a f-ing moron….call 1-800-find-a-brain..& stopmaking dumb idiotic stupid comments..freaking dumb butt..ur lucky im saved or i wuldve cursed you out
August 19th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Wow.. whats wrong with people today, the first lady was on vacation. Must we always be pretty in everything we do. Think about it, are men always handsome in everything they do. The first lady is far from ugleeeee….Have respect…….
August 19th, 2009 at 11:31 pm
Did any forget Jackie O. Wore a skippy outfit on the yacht with JFK while they were vacationing. I don't see what the big deal is. Michelle and Barack are human too. They need to relax and stay cool just like the rest of us. Regardless if they are in or out of the office spotlight. Let it go people.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:32 pm
This is the most stupidest thing that i have heard of so far. i have heard some crazy things but this takes the cake. i thought that my fellow americans would be more concerned about the WAR, HEALTHCARE, UNEMPLOYMENT, and HOMELESS PEOPLE than about a freaking pair of shorts. These people don't have any kind of life at all. Did anyone say anything about the other women that had on shorts? I am disgusted with most of the american people. We got a serious problem if this is what americans are worried about. Let the woman alone. At least she has a life. Sounds to me like people are jealous. So go put on a nice fancy dress, get your hair done and put on all that make-up and go play golf or something. Just leave her alone!!!!!!!!
August 19th, 2009 at 11:32 pm
That sista looks pretty damn hot to me. You just go girl!
August 19th, 2009 at 11:32 pm
Maybe capris or a skirt would have looked better but she does not dress for you. Who tells you what to wear….The First Lady LOOK JUST FINE/////////////.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:35 pm
I AGREE WITH YOU 100 PERCENT. THE WAY TO GO MICHELLE….SHE IS COURAGEOUS AND DO NOT WORRY ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK OR FEEL; WE ALL CAN RESPECT THAT…..
August 19th, 2009 at 11:38 pm
Should she represent the American public or tight asses like yourself??? She has great legs, its 100 degrees and shes with her family. Leave the poor girl alone. I assume your legs are just too fat to show.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:41 pm
OMG! Leave this woman alone! She's a pretty woman with a nice figure and long legs so she can carry this off with no problem. The media needs to find something else to do with their time, rather than follow her around and making comments that the majority of the people really don't give a hoot about. GET A LIFE!
August 19th, 2009 at 11:42 pm
amen! and amen! skip you said it best….. and i totally agree. mrs. obama does look like she just left k-mart. and for all those people that's not up on classic sport wear probably are k-mart dressers. there are so many styles of classic sport wear to choose from today and not necessarily over priced. the first lady has not realized her ragged days are inappropriate as first lady of our country. when my family and i go on any type of vacation we are usually dressed very moderately. young people in the u.s. has already lost a lot of diginity in how they dress as it is surely they don't need to see ghetto dressing from the first lady. OK?
August 19th, 2009 at 11:44 pm

August 19th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
The majority of posters here are woman. I'm a man, Michelle can wear what ever she wants. Besides, i like a woman who keeps it real. Luv u baby.
August 19th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
Why do we care what she wears? She is so much more than that! The news media is so disgusting! Why in the world is this even making news? She is a human being who was on vacation. She was not on official business and when she is, she dresses beautifully. She is a much younger woman that the ones before her. Isn't this what most of us wanted in the White House…A CHANGE in the stuffy, rigid, uptight politicals? I say, GO FOR IT Michele Obama. And, to the news media…let's hear about some of the IMPORTANT things she is DOING…not what she is WEARING…BE real AMERICA!!!!
August 19th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
Just because she is a woman doesn't automatically mean she has to get "made up." Why didn't ugly G.W.Bush have to get made up when he went out on the town? He could use a few nips and tucks here. She's on vacation with family she can look as ugly as she wants.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:01 am
That Sista looks damn fine to me! You just go girl!
August 20th, 2009 at 12:05 am
PERFECTLY SAID !!!!!!!!!!!!!
EVEVRYONE KNOWS YOU ARE REPRESENTING YOURSELF TO ALL !!! ALL !!!
NO ONE IS SAYNG IT HAS TO BE ULTRA CONSERVATIVE.
… JUST A LITTLE MORE CLASSY!!
August 20th, 2009 at 12:11 am
As I read this there is 16 % voting against the idea, to that 16% I ask, "Where is the manual that states the the First Lady is the have to that boring rubber stamped appearance"?
Stop Hating and do more appreciating!!!!!!
August 20th, 2009 at 12:15 am
She is human, an can dress as she please to, she is on a vacation. She can please everyone. Find something more important to discuss and critize. Live and let live, not because she is the first lady of the US, she must dress to please some stupid, foolish people. God bless America and the Obama´s, Michelle you look great, keep up the good work for your God, family and country.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:17 am
If you have read any of the commentary made about her brands of choice K-MART is far from where she would purchase any clothing items. Do your research before you try to put her down as far as the brand of clothes she wears. We would more than likely find you shopping at K-MART for an outfit before she would. You don't have to agree with everything she wears. Lastly I don't believe you will find any Tracy Feith, Roberto Cavalli, Jason Wu, Lanvin and the list goes on. These shorts look more like J.Crew which is also a fav of hers. Your probably jealous because you would never be able to wear the shorts she was photographed in.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:17 am
stay being a fool im not i m white i love the obamas family and her husband the people are real . not fake ,
August 20th, 2009 at 12:19 am
No problem, she is a very optimistic woman, “Showing off those muscular legs”. WAY to go Michelle!!!!
August 20th, 2009 at 12:20 am
How ridiculous… I don't think anyone would wear a power suit to the Grand Canyon anyways so what's the big deal?
August 20th, 2009 at 12:20 am
i dont see any thing wrong with what she has on, "short shorts? come on lol get a life, think she looks dammn sexy my self ,
August 20th, 2009 at 12:24 am
I agree with you…I don't think her shorts were inappropriately short. I think that she and her husband are over criticized. Further more yes her husband holds the highest office but she is still human. It was not an official event…its her vacation…she can dress down.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:25 am
Jude your just like all the rest of W. America Get ver it ALREADYYY…… Like OMG THE LADY IS ON VACATION>>>> WAS
August 20th, 2009 at 12:26 am
I think She looks great and comfortable. this is a family vacation and She is a Great Trendsetter, I think.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:27 am
This is why the minds of people are so, are so sadly distorted today because they focus more on the things about other people that has nothing to do with them. How sad is it to make an issue about a pair of shorts on Mrs.Obama but you don't make a worldly issue about the clothes makers who design pants with everything tooo big and people thinking it's Fashion to wear them below their waist line. At least her shorts fit,FOOLS.. Not to short, not too tight, but hell, most of you would complain anyway because it is not the Fake White House Norm!! Dig It..
August 20th, 2009 at 12:30 am
She is not a 'lady', has no class, an embarrassment to our nation
August 20th, 2009 at 12:31 am
she looks fine, im a whie man that has been a Repubilcan for years..I voted for Him, coz of this stupid shit!!! ppl get a freaking life!!!!! she has class…ans styel ppl need to worrie about other things than this…we look so dman stupid when "we" …stoop down like this as a country…come on ppl!!! 43 yrd old man just calling it like I see it!!!! damn!!!!!!
August 20th, 2009 at 12:34 am
Cool! IsznT she! She dresses appropritely on what she feel is comfortable
August 20th, 2009 at 12:34 am
very well said!!!!!!! THANK YOU!
August 20th, 2009 at 12:36 am
Leave the woman alone. Go girl. Do like the rest of us. Relax when you are not working as "First Lady."
August 20th, 2009 at 12:38 am
Being First Lady isn't really a job… it's more of a title. She doesn't have to "represent" the US because she's only the wife to an important person. Do we also look at the clothing of spouses of congress men and women when they're on vacation etc.? I think not. While we're at it, why don't we consider the clothes that their children are wearing on vacation? I'm sure they're not wearing dressy clothing, but no one cares because "they're just kids"? Even so I think she appropriately "represents" the US because a majority of people in warm areas of the US dress in shorts. How is that not representing "the people" in regards to the US? The headline says "short shorts" but they really aren't short at all. I know people in their 80s who still wear shorts. If anything were to inappropriately represent the US it would be our idiotic reality TV shows filled with ill mannered/tempered people who dress like strippers, not Mrs. Obama's casual shorts.
'Nuff said.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:45 am
what's the big deal? she maybe the first lady but it doesn;t mean she is not allowed to wear those kind of things.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:48 am
you're kidding, right? who in the heck cares if she wears shorts? it's amazing with all the serious problems going on in the world..that a married woman, with kids..on vacation….IS WEARING SHORTS IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER..!!!!…c'mon people…havent we got anything else to report on?
August 20th, 2009 at 12:49 am
THE FIRST LADY DOES NOT HAVE TO DRESS LIKE SHE IS GLASS.WE ALL BREAK DOWN IN JEANS AND BAGGY SWEATS AT SOME POINT.SHE LOOKS RELAXED.LET HER HAVE FUN WITH HER FAMILY.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:51 am
this is some BS!! nd yall know this. i swear(forgive my God) but her shorts a re appropriate. UmUm all need to go on somwhere talking about BREAKIN NEWS ..uhuh!
August 20th, 2009 at 12:52 am
JENNA IT LOOKS LIKE YOU DONT HAVE SUCH A FULL LIFE IF YOU ARE ON HERE WITH US..LOL..
August 20th, 2009 at 12:53 am
For those of you who say she should Represent America 24/7, she is! Don't most of you wear shorts umm, every day in hot weather??!! Get back to being Real! Stop trying to find things Wrong with Good, REAL, PEOPLE and enjoy the REALNESS of GOOD PEOPLE, hopefully like you do yourself and the people you know. That person called signof thetimes sounds like they really have low self-esteem issues with themselves and speak with a jealous tongue. Don't HATE,, APPRECIATE… Go to K-Mart and buy you a pair of shorts and I hope that you look good in yours, as The First Lady does in hers… PEACE to ALL,,, I'm out….
August 20th, 2009 at 12:56 am
You need help!!!! It's easy trying to put someone down talking about how they look and not have a picture of yourself on your own Tag!!!
August 20th, 2009 at 12:56 am
Shouldn't we be more worried about the war and other issues then what The First Lady is wearing?
August 20th, 2009 at 12:57 am
wow people are just so ridiculous that they do not even know how to critic the Obama's and offcourse are so jealous and can not get over the fact that a black man is in the white house too bad suckers
August 20th, 2009 at 12:58 am
These are short shorts? Have you watched tv lateley? These are considered "long".
August 20th, 2009 at 1:00 am
you talk like a fool!!!!!!
August 20th, 2009 at 1:01 am
l think she looks good on the short, l like this, Please let her be since she is on vacation.
August 20th, 2009 at 1:02 am
right on Ms.Praise
August 20th, 2009 at 1:04 am
LOL
August 20th, 2009 at 1:14 am
I think this is one of the reason why the americans goes down they worry about thin that they are no so important . 100 c are 100 worlwide… i should be using shorter than those.
August 20th, 2009 at 1:22 am
These aren't short shorts. I can show you short shorts. This is more than acceptable during the summer time. Do hate because Hillary, Barbara, Nancy, and all the other former first lady couldn't wear shorts.
August 20th, 2009 at 1:25 am
dude she is in arizona! in august! on vacation! no matter wat she is still entitled to her right not to burn to death! and only a dumby says ppl look better with make up and she doesnt wear a wig thats how i can tell u dont no black hair.
August 20th, 2009 at 1:26 am
There is no reason for her not to wear the shorts. What lame person labeled them short shorts. I beg to differ. It sound as if we still have haters of her fashion sense. She looks good and has great legs. Get over it public, she has a right to establish her fashion style. She is and will always be different from all other first ladies.
August 20th, 2009 at 1:28 am
do you go on vacation in arizona? in august?
August 20th, 2009 at 1:30 am
the shorts are okay , but she should consider covering her face like other muslim women who look like pitbulls
August 20th, 2009 at 1:32 am
She does not have any problem with her shorts. The problem is her husband..
August 20th, 2009 at 1:34 am
I am certainly not a Michelle or Barack fan, but she can wear what she wants on vacation. So could Laura Bush, Hillary Clinton, or anyone else, as far as I care.
August 20th, 2009 at 1:35 am
No one watched Bush or any other presidents and their family as you guys are watching the Obamas. Face it we have an African American president, get over it you ignorant racist bastards.
August 20th, 2009 at 1:39 am
She is in vacation, what do you were when you go in vacation, a suit or a gown? ha ha ha, she looks great!!! too bad 4 u
August 20th, 2009 at 1:40 am
Ha ha ha, that is a good one, I realy like that
August 20th, 2009 at 1:41 am
Your just saying that because she is balck, if she were white it would be different, stop hating on her, Obama won the election fair and square, Obama is handsom, Michelle is beautiful and the girls are sooooo pretty,
August 20th, 2009 at 1:42 am
You are a jerk m'dear, I like to see you on the same vacation representing the us jack ass! What do you want her to wear in our forsaken grand canyon, stupid!
August 20th, 2009 at 1:45 am
she looks real good…get real people….
August 20th, 2009 at 1:49 am
Bye the way your picture looks, I do know why you got anything to say. Your one ugly son of a bitch.
August 20th, 2009 at 1:52 am
she's brave enough wearing that kind of outfit knowing that she is the first lady of the US. well nothing to serious about it. she is michelle so she can wear anything that comforts her anyway. ^-^
August 20th, 2009 at 2:00 am
who ever thinks that what she is wearing is not right needs to get a life if she was white we would not be having this discussion about some shorts and trust me those are no where near short shorts.
August 20th, 2009 at 2:01 am
She looks great and like a normal person!!! She is a young attractive first lady and should not have to dress like a frumpy old lady like all the past first ladies!!! And who thinks those are "short shorts"!!!!! You have got to be kidding!!
August 20th, 2009 at 2:05 am
Sure, be casual when you are out and about in boiling hot Arzona. It seems to me that flying on Air Force One is kind of a big deal and should be treated accordingly. I think at least business casual attire would be appropriate.
August 20th, 2009 at 2:12 am
Sorry, Air Force One is NOT the family station wagon. Check out the two military personnel at the bottom of the stairs. Looking pretty sharp. You represent the country anytime you board that aircraft as a person in her position. She should dress the part.
August 20th, 2009 at 2:14 am
Yu Need Tu Shut The Hell Up Whiff All Dhat ForReal.Stop Hating Cause Yu Not In Her Position.She Has On The Rite Outfitt For Vacation.
August 20th, 2009 at 2:15 am
I wonder what jackie kennedy wore 2 the beach???
August 19th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
Wow…is this what our country is coming to…all we can debate on is whether or not Mrs. Obama was misrepresenting our country by wearing shorts on hee VACATION…all you people with these negative comments need to get a life…what do u wear on vacation…if u wear a suit and tie or a formal dress while hiking to the grand canyon…thats your business…why must u judge people…and to all u OBAMA HATERS grow the hell up…all our President is trying to do is make the country a better place…and to the idiots who suggested she wear a skirt…slap yourself…that is the stupidest thing i have ever heard…what a moron….
and by the way, feel free to reply to my post…but i suggest u keep your stupid comments to yourself…
August 20th, 2009 at 2:37 am
I do not think you could do any better and who are you to decide who needs a make over stop being stupid the lady was on vaction.
August 20th, 2009 at 2:40 am
Obviously, she wasted all her glamor shot clothes on eht wasted European trip. Most well traveled first family in history of the world in just six months. What a waste of your tax dollars! Oh well at least it is not another trillion, we'll never get out of this mess her husband caused.
August 20th, 2009 at 2:40 am
sorry Skip but she puts her pants on just like you and I. Get over it. First and foremost she is a WOMEN. Do you really expect her to be dressed anything differently? Yes she represents the USA but for heavens sake she didnt even leave the country. Goodness all you that think she had on too short of shorts or didnt represent us properly think about what the heck you would wear. Wow that is all I have to say…
August 20th, 2009 at 2:47 am
On most part all the comments are on point. But for the few that did not want them in the White House at all. And no matter what these people do, they will find something wrong with them. I am glad that they are not what the haters expected. They wanted to be able to say that these are lazy people, and they have all these family member laiding around the White House partying all night. Well quess what, if her shorts is all that you have. Go for it. But the one thing that you can't change, and that is_ they are in the White House now and that fact will never change.
August 20th, 2009 at 2:50 am
signofthetimes is a h8r to the 10th power. The first lady is always a lady of class no matter what she is wearing. Maybe u have a problem with this because she is black. As hot as it in in Arizona, be glad she didn't bust out a two piece. Leave the Obama's alone. You had your 8 years!!
August 20th, 2009 at 2:50 am
Yes, and also Thou Shall not kill…….as Obama allows abortion and men should not lie down with men and Obama allows gay rights. And YES don't judge………….Unless you use righteous judgment which I AM.
August 20th, 2009 at 2:50 am
AMEN!
August 20th, 2009 at 2:58 am
i absolutely dont believe this mess. she is on vacation…. usually when u go on vacation that means vacation away from anything that relates to your job title. yea she's the first lady, but the first lady on vacation. as long as she can return to the white house in professional attire when neccessary let her do what she wants to. ppl just have nothing better to do than to worry bout others. get a life
August 20th, 2009 at 3:05 am
Thank you. You took the words right out of my mouth. Now if only the rest of the world could think like us…..
August 20th, 2009 at 3:06 am
Wow I wish I had the money…and the transportation to take a vacation with my family! It must be nice to just hop up and go wherever and whenever you like…at tax payers expense! I know…how about if you keep yourself and your shorts at home and set an example until things are a little better for everyone! Lead be example, people. That's why someone, I'm not sure who or why, put Obama in office.
August 20th, 2009 at 3:07 am
Nuts like you should all be put on an Island with Sarah Palin and left there for the rest of your lives. The world would be a more pleasant place. Your vocabulary says alot about you-
August 20th, 2009 at 3:08 am
Really? come on I'm sure we have more new worthy topics than the first lady's vacation outfit. She is covered and looks nice. Get real people PLEASE!
August 20th, 2009 at 3:14 am
JUDE YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE IS ON VACATION!!!! YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A REPUBLICAN, LOL
August 20th, 2009 at 3:14 am
okay, yes she is the first lady but wow. are we all over reacting. she is on vacation with her family to the grand canyon and you expect her to wear a dress and high heels…please im sure you wouldnt wear it if you were her. she is allowed to be comfortable too.and one thing.. jesus they arent even that short they are mid thigh shorts. i could see if they were daisy dukes ridin up or something. i think we all just need to leave the woman alone. she is beautiful. let her live. stop critisizing EVERYTHING she does. i think i have seen something about her on every magazine since the election. leave the damn woman alone. shes human too!
August 20th, 2009 at 3:18 am
SHE SHOULD WEAR WHATEVER THE HELL SHE WANTS TO WHEN ON VACATION GET OVER IT PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!
August 20th, 2009 at 3:20 am
i mean are you being serious. if you are then your stuck up as$ needs to go on somewhere this woman looked fine. she deserves to be comfortable too. get a life and stop judging what others wear. maybe you need to look at yourself and stop being so insecure.
August 20th, 2009 at 3:22 am
keep it up michelle!we are on recession,that is our big problem and not the first lady wearing short.she looks good and its summer anyway.some people are just narrow-minded
August 20th, 2009 at 3:38 am
absolutely
August 20th, 2009 at 3:39 am
YOUR MAMA!!!!!!!
August 20th, 2009 at 3:40 am
This passage makes lots of sense. There are bigger issues to deal with than what the First Lady of the U.S. is wearing. Thanks for comments that make sense.
Ms. Candy
August 20th, 2009 at 3:43 am
get a life you bastard you sound like the rest of the stupid people out in the country hating on people what ever you say has no barren what mrs obama represent she looks better then the rest of the old hags that were first ladies. go and take a pill of your hate
August 20th, 2009 at 3:43 am
SHE'S ON A VACATION WITH HER KIDS…WHAT DO U EXPECT HER TO WEAR…..AT GRAND CANYON……FIND SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT TO DISCUSS BESIDES THE FIRST LADY'S CLOTHES….LIKE ALL OF THE UNEMPLOYED CITIZENS AND HEALTH CARE ISSUE….FIND WAYS TO BRING BACK MANUFACTURING JOBS……..SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP OUR COUNTRY………
August 20th, 2009 at 3:44 am
And you have class – what sort of language is "frickin". I think Americans must surely have better things to do than worry about what Mrs. Obama is wearing. She's appropriately covered in the important places, she's a mom and a woman before she's the First Lady. So, let the woman be!
August 20th, 2009 at 3:47 am
Perhaps the general public should be voting on her undergarments as well. Give her a break. Regardless of party line, she was on vacation (something we all need a little of) and attire is personal. Had this been a "sanctioned" event where she was hosting someone, I could see it being anyone's business. Get over it!
August 20th, 2009 at 3:48 am
I think the focus should be on the economy and not on Michelle Obama. There is nothing wrong with the way she is dressed. The lady is on vacation, be it Arizona or elsewhere. The bottom line is, Michelle looks great in whatever clothing she chose to wear.
August 20th, 2009 at 4:06 am
get a life, make sure your are apprioriate when you are in public that's all what matter the most take care you Michelle has hers
August 20th, 2009 at 4:07 am
Seriously…those are not daisy dukes! I heard about this story and really thought this was actually a story….not so much! I would wear those to work and Im a teacher….SHOW ME SOME DAISY DUKES!
August 20th, 2009 at 4:13 am
That's Right!:) People need to start congratulating INSTEAD of hating. Have a good day everyone.
August 20th, 2009 at 4:13 am
This is all a bunch of shit .
August 20th, 2009 at 4:14 am
Everyone criticizes her wardrobe but most of you have a 12-15 year old daughter dressing like she turns tricks down by the railroad tracks (and probably does!!!) I live in Tucson and I think First Lady or not I would have dressed the same way! I must say the I completely agree with "Probama!" If she had worn a dress, hat, heels, and gloves people would be criticizing that! It all comes down to whether you like her or the President, it doesn't matter what they wear, say, or do; people are going to talk negatively about them. I thought America had come a long way but I guess we have a long way to go! Maybe one day we will all grow up!
August 20th, 2009 at 4:26 am
Get a life people. Is there really nothing else for people to do but find frivolous and fluffy things like this to make negative comments about? I swear, the american public is so stupid. You complain when Sarah Palin spends 150 grand on clothes to go on the campaign trail, trying to win the office of the Vice President. Now you bitch because Mrs Obama "went shopping at K-Mart". Would you rather she had gone to the Grand Canyon wearing Prada Shoes that she spent 15 grand on?
I think that with all thats goin on in this country today, Michelle Obama looking like a regular American on vacation would be the least of your worries. I mean, at least she can pull the look off. She is at least an attractive and fit woman. Imagine if Barbara Bush had done the same thing? Yeck! Or Ladybird Johnson in Daisy Dukes and flip-flops.
She was dressed completely appropriately and for obvoius comfort. Lets see YOU go to Arizona in August in a Gucci suit and not pass out form the heat. Shame on you……….
August 20th, 2009 at 4:27 am
I guess everyones job is to criticize the first lady clothes since many of us are out of a job.
This is ridiculous to judge her wardrobe. They say "don't judge a book by its cover. Hello
everybody "Wakeup" she's a wife, a mother , and the the first lady to our country. Have more respect for her and the family. Oh. another note to this… I bet the president would have love to wear shorts … ,but maybe he needs too look classy for the people who complain. There are so many issues happening in and out of U.S. that this media or news is the least of worries, lets focus on change and positive thoughts for our country and the world …not this!
August 20th, 2009 at 4:30 am
Get a life IDIOTs (meant for everyone who had something ugly to saw about Mrs. Obama's attire).
Michele Obama looks FABULOUS in her shorts as she does in whatever she wears. She is still the first lady of this country no matter what she's wearing, and thank GOD her husband is the President. We love you Barack and Michelle!!
August 20th, 2009 at 4:31 am
It's a sad day for the United States when this is news!
August 20th, 2009 at 12:35 am
God designed Michelle as he desinged you and I and what we wear on the out side do not make who we are she can dress to fit the way she feel and I like the fact she is being who she is and being real with who she is just because she has a title of being the first lady she was and is God’s child so she to me is not taking a title for granted and just being herself rrelaxed and doing what she do which is minding her own business and spending time with her family. People get a life and sweep in front of your own fromnt door before you start on someone else’s. When you point you have some coming back to you. We all fall short of the role we hold being a mother , wife, sister,brother, friend ect. YOU GO GIRL AND KEEP IT REAL.
August 20th, 2009 at 12:37 am
God has the final say as to who we are and hust because we hold a title if we are not lined up with God’s word and keep his commandments then we fall short of his glory.
August 20th, 2009 at 4:41 am
I think she looks great… she is a first lady that knows the importance of seperating family from work. Michelle is strong and confident in her stance to dress comfortable for a vacation and to spend some much needed quality time with her family and not worry about the public cynical comments of her casual dressing. The public must realize that she is and always will be a full-time mother and wife. I guess some people would expect her to dress formal and represent the United States when she tuck her kids in bed at night. Please stop criticisizing her and recognize that she deserves to have some personal time for herself and her family.
August 20th, 2009 at 4:45 am
I can imagine just what your apperance is, please grow up people she's human. And if you call those shorts short. You get some class!!!!!!!!!!!!! HATERS!!!!!!!!!!
August 20th, 2009 at 4:47 am
Now that's funny! But I agree.
August 20th, 2009 at 4:50 am
And thats your preference Sam!!! She's beautiful. Deal with it.
August 20th, 2009 at 4:50 am
If she is traveling as a citizen then she should have booked a flight on a commercial airline, but when she is using Air Force One then she'd better dress like the First Lady of the United States of America! She is representing our country and what she is wearing is deplorable! There are so many other summer styles like capris that she could have choosen.
August 20th, 2009 at 4:53 am
Free ride my conga!!!!!!! You must be drunk.
August 20th, 2009 at 4:59 am
The things ignorant people will say!! Jude, Get a life and quite hating on Michelle and Your President!!! Maybe if she would have put on a leather suite you people would have been happier. Nope, you would have found fault in that as well!!!!!
August 20th, 2009 at 5:05 am
Mrs. Nick, You hit it dead on the head. They can't say anthing positive because they don't love themselves so it's no room to love anyone else. That"s what people do when their not happy down grade everyone else.
August 20th, 2009 at 5:08 am
That"s why your mom loves YOU!!!
August 20th, 2009 at 5:09 am
Love to see your picture!!! in long pants
August 20th, 2009 at 5:12 am
love to see your picture …………… but in long pants. I am a mother of 6 and I wear shorts. Leave Michelle alone. I am proud of her.
August 20th, 2009 at 5:19 am
i dont see any problem about Michelle Obama wearing a short!! Discrimination is in the air!
if Michelle is white and blond maybe you guys wont say anything about the shorts..right??
August 20th, 2009 at 5:20 am
Michelle was wearing the appropriate outfit for the occassion. She is on vacation! Give the woman a break. Why is the world critizing something so petty. This goes to show America how down to earth and REAL the Obama's are. They represent the majority of America. They don't have to be in the most EXPENSIVE outfits 24/7. They know how to be NORMAL. Keep representing our country. I LOVE it!!!!!
August 20th, 2009 at 1:22 am
"faux-pas"? she looks like an american on vacation to me. i think she IS representing our nation, do these judgemental people go on vacation in formal attire? why does everyone have to be so picky? NOONE EVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT CLINTON JOGGING IN SWEATS! would people rather her spend $10,000 on a designer outfit? the economy is a mess, i commend her for her thrift and openness. more "americans" could take a lesson from her. that's the problem with this country of our's, "STATUS" if we all woried about our selves more and others less, and quit playing "keep up with the Jones's" maybe…no deffinately… we would not be in the finacial mess we're in. most everybody in this country these days thinks their entitled to something just because they live or were born here. GROW-UP!!!! if you work for it, and earn it, it means a whole lot more!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 20th, 2009 at 5:22 am
besides, young miss Obama is dressed comfortable, and as a representitive of our country, noone is saying anything about her attire.
I SUPPOSE PEOPLE WOULD BE OFFENDED IF SHE WORE A BATHING SUIT TO A POOL OR THE BEACH AS WELL? OH, I KNOW, JUST BECAUSE OF HER HUSBANDS JOB, SHE SHOULD DIE OF HEAT STROKE, JUST SO SNOOTY PEOPLE (WHO PROBABLY DRESS THE SAME WAY OR WORSE) AREN'T OFFENDED. I guess these same self-envolved people sleep in a TUXEDO just in case they die in their sleep, they won't be underdressed for the occation?
GET OVER YOURSELVES
August 20th, 2009 at 5:28 am
U are just bad because she is a fine african american lady that has mor style then 1st lady in history !
August 20th, 2009 at 5:38 am
I thought this was about her exposing her legs not her head. Her hair was natural and fine. She is not a "common" citizen and could have had on longer pants prehaps just under the knees. I frankly am opposed to any woman baring her legs or under her arms in public. It is just not the "chic" thing to do. But that is the way of the world today.
August 20th, 2009 at 5:40 am
Oh my gosh people shes at the grand canyon for god sake sheez! leave the woman alone is she supposed represent the white house by wearing a fancy dress while even in the shower or a shnazy pant suit while on the toilet??!!! lol get over it the US has bigger issues that need attention instead of what michelle obama is wearing! How come noone cares to really buzz about whats going on in the middle east ? Or our economic struggles?
August 20th, 2009 at 5:40 am
please she daent ned no make-up maybe ur the one who neds make-up.. shez just pretty the way she is with make up or with out make-up… so just stop hatin… plus shez a first lady with a diffrence.. change is gud…
August 20th, 2009 at 5:43 am
i have the same shirt as her daughter !
buttt , i thinkk she looks fine . andd those shorts are NOTHING compared to what young ladies are wearing these days .
August 20th, 2009 at 5:46 am
Please she used herCOMMON SENSE to be walking by the GRAND CANYON. It is impossible to wear a dres and heels during her vacation.
August 20th, 2009 at 7:17 am
I saw a comment that critisized said "OMG those shorts paired w hiking shoes,she looks like a tourist" HELLO!!! she WAS a tourist! they were in one of the HOTTEST places in the country walking around rocks and dirt! how would YOU dress? and those of you complaining about she .should have used her stylist……you should be glad she is not so vain as to always be thinking of herself using taxpayer money to bring them along just to keep you all from commenting…werent you the SAME ones who were harping on Sarah Pailin for using hundreds of thousands in campaign funds to keep her apperances up?? its a shame, She's a MOTHER on vacation with her family! thats why America loves this family…they are the closest representation to all of us we have ever seen in the white house. Her shorts or his "mom Jeans" they are doing so much GOOD and creating more CHANGE than this country has ever seen! more than anyone else can say…… you dont like it???? LEAVE!!!
August 20th, 2009 at 7:17 am
she looks sportive.
August 20th, 2009 at 10:43 am
Mrs. Obama doesn't respect her office of First Lady. According to most of you she should just wear no make up and sit on a porch with a 40 oz and some Popeye's chicken?
August 20th, 2009 at 10:44 am
You're all too afraid to get a life!! Run with the pack dearie and the pack will chew the crap out of you if you smell any different. I am entitled to my opinion as much as you are yours.
August 20th, 2009 at 10:47 am
The FREAKIN" U.S. PRESIDENT is BLACK!! When the H will people let the race card go? Again I MUST say there are African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Asian-Americans, etc…but NO Caucasian-Amercians or White-Americans…we're JUST Americans so who the H is the racist?
August 20th, 2009 at 10:50 am
You know what? Just let her wear a thong and a bikini top or no top at all who gives a hoot? I guess her office means nothing and do you know why? Because it's a joke she's there at all so why not dress like a joke? After reading most people's comments, first I'm not suppposed to have an opinion and second she's just a ghetto ho who made it big so let her be ghetto-fabulous right? Okay. fine. But then when people around the world laugh about our 'ahem' leaders dressing like that none of you can get mad and pull up the race card.
August 20th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
If I had slim arms and legs like her, I would go shorts and sleeveless too. Go Mrs. O and keep up the good work with your girls and all the things involved with being first lady. Does anybody remember how the news media picked Hillary Clinton apart? First her hair then her clothes.
It is wonderful to have a great young family in the White House again.
August 21st, 2009 at 12:41 am
she look great — leave the obamas alone — michelle is not laura bush or barbara bush — plain janes — michelle is a black down to earth woman representing.
August 21st, 2009 at 3:28 am
100-200 degrees outside ? She is the 1st lady, the shorts could have
been longer (she has terrible fat legs) Even a nice short suit in 100%
cottton (100 degrees) would have been better.
She has no dress sense ! Her dresses are Jackie O – no big deal
the whole world wears them
August 21st, 2009 at 4:17 am
Sad, but America is involved in 2 wars and there is genocide in Darfur. I wish the media could focus on what is really important for a change.
August 21st, 2009 at 7:00 am
YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD! IF PEOPLE CAN GET THIS WORKED UP ABOUT WHAT A MOM WEARS WHILE ON VACATION WITH HER CHILDREN WE SHOULD MAKE IT A POINT TO SPEAK OUT ABOUT THINGS THAT REALLY AMOUNT TO A RAT'S A***.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:29 am
Jude you obviously dont have anything better to do with you time. Your quite sad or old I wonder which one
August 21st, 2009 at 12:57 pm
Cow shorts.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:22 pm
She had on a designer outfit when she was showing the kids how to be a field hand. Maybe it isn't "what" she wears; it is she can't figure out "when". She has the right to "bare" arms and legs, I suppose.
August 21st, 2009 at 7:47 pm
….Alright, alright, ENOUGH already! Yep, I'm going to GO there. I am a professional, well-educated, affluent African-American woman. This would not be news if Michelle were not an African-American woman. Give this woman a break! Give this family a break! I do agree that perhaps Michelle could have had on a cuter "shorts ensemble" perhaps the top and shorts could have matched, but that's about it. The Grand Canyon is ridiculously hot – you have to be comfortable, and during the course of the day, you will get wrinkled and might ACTUALLY SWEAT. As for her hair, wake up people, she has it pulled back in a bun. She can't win can she? She was on vacation, a private family matter. What will the media do next? Go into the Obama's bedroom and see what she sleeps in?? This woman is not a prude. She is on the cutting edge of fashion, is very self-confident, has a great body and is a breath of "fresh air" in the white house. Now if she goes and gets a tattoo across her neck and pierces her lip, then we have something to worry about. But for those of you that don't know, we don't all do that!! Loosen up America. Get a life!
August 21st, 2009 at 7:52 pm
All I have to say is Do she have on a bikini? do she have a belly top on? do she have some booty or coochie cutters on? Hell No leave her alone SIKO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 22nd, 2009 at 4:13 am
i am a black woman….a strong obama supporter, but am often embarrassed about the way
Michelle dresses.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:54 am
The First Lady isn't much in the looks department .I don't think her choice of clothes should be cause for scrutiny and worship.Any one who makes a big deal out of it needs to get off their couch for more than fifteen minutes out of the day.
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Well this confirms it…..She can no longer and I hope never will be again, compared to Jackie Kennedy Onasis, whom we all know had "class".
August 24th, 2009 at 4:07 am
Again and again stop hating and appreciate. Don't be jealous. Those of you who complained, you know it is not about the shorts or the way Michelle looks on her vacation. This is none of your of your business anyway. Lets talk about your real reason for being jealous. It is the position she holds as first lady of this country. She is so beautiful, intellegent, and has much more class than all the ones in the past, and you know it to be so. She looks better than any first lady America has ever had. That is what your problem is, and further more she is not wearing a wig.
August 24th, 2009 at 4:08 am
Thats is absolutely fine with me. I just spoke the truth.
August 24th, 2009 at 4:13 am
Man I wish those shorts were shorter 'cuz she is pretty hot
August 25th, 2009 at 9:08 am
signofthetimes or whatever you call yourself, you and the rest of the useless bunch bitching about this are obviously jobless and freaking hypocrites…. Was she to wear a freaking pencil skirt to the grand canyon? Wake up fools, this woman and her husband are one of the most intelligent couple you'd ever have in the white house, so quit bitching and start contributing to making a better nation… Freaking haterzzz……
August 26th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
You need to learn to write better.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:53 am
What might Mr.Blackwell have said about this?
August 27th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
I feel for those Air Force Sergeants. They must have stood at attention in the heat for hours in their dress blues waiting for these tramps to file down the stairs (I'm sorry, I meant these fliers to tramp down the stairs). If the worst (I'm sorry, I meant first) family can dress any way they want, why not let these men wear T-shirts and shorts and sit down.
August 28th, 2009 at 3:40 am
coward, lol coward, lol coward, lol u would never say that comment to anyone other than a computer sreen,lol lol lol lol lol lol lol llooll.
August 28th, 2009 at 3:42 am
u r definately clueless, represent yourself and get some class
August 28th, 2009 at 3:43 am
so what
August 29th, 2009 at 9:30 am
This planet of the apes BS needs to end… this is "supposed" to be the most influential woman in the world, and she looks like a transient waiting in line for her food stamps. Come on now, fix those afros and put on a pantsuit like a respectable woman. I am so ashamed that this family is in the whitehouse… and those 4 have been vacationing on America's dime nonstop since the election! Stop handing out ridiculous stimuluses and putting the country further in debt! Typical ghetto attitudes….
August 31st, 2009 at 2:09 am
Get a life folks. She should be able to dress as she feels like it. Too much of this "professional" crap is ruining America. This is not a business meetign she is going to, for heavens sake. Its a family vacation. Next, what happens if she wants to wear a bikini in public. People in Europe go to nude beaches. I think we should all get a better sense of humor, and appreciate beauty when we see it. Whether its the first lady or anyone else. Keep it up Ms. Obama! kool kal, atlanta.
August 31st, 2009 at 10:41 pm
I would like to see what you look like when your on vacation, give me a break there are much more important things to worry about besides what she looked like while on vacation
September 1st, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Jude, It is obvious that you a "wrong, right-wing nut", probably a "birther", most assuredly a
believer in the "death panels" that your group created in their dreams, but what offends me most, is that you are a "FLAMING" racist, with a superiority complex, and in your case, it most
definatly is a COMPLEX!!!!!!!!!!! Try to find a life on some other planet, please4!
September 2nd, 2009 at 1:55 am
you must be ugly because you sound worst then the people complaining about her damn shorts to the HOT ass Grand Canyon!!! Get a life!
September 2nd, 2009 at 12:08 pm
That woman needs a makeover FAST and someone should tell to stop wearing
the can can dresses like the black one she had on trying to cover up her big ass when she got off of the plane a few days back She has no style or class.
September 2nd, 2009 at 12:35 pm
All yah who is hating on her need to back off !!!!! Do you really think she cares about your all so jugemental views, she is the first lady and just that a LADY !!!!!!!!!
September 2nd, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Most in the USA and the world do not wear Versace or Dolce Gabana on their vacation. I think that she represented the USA and the world just fine. Considering all of the tragedy in the world today, the most important thing represented is PRECIOUS TIME WITH FAMILY!!!! THe shorts should have been shorter! LOL!!! U GO GIRL!!
September 2nd, 2009 at 1:07 pm
OMG the woman is on VACATION for heaven's sake. Pearls and a gown just won't cut it
September 2nd, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Get A life of something! Go for a walk,eat health, go to sleep! The President love his life, with Michelle and what ever she wears, even the comfortable shorts. What is your problem?
September 2nd, 2009 at 2:49 pm
put a pic of yourself. Oops.. i just remember, cameras break whenever u have to take a pic, cause u beyond ugly. Hater, keep on hating, you obviously VERY VERY VERY JEALOUS of First Lady Obama.
September 2nd, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Ms. Obama is the best dress First Lady we had in a long time. I think you are a sick puppy.
She represent the U.S. with class Stop hating||| Yes, She suppost to be comfortable on
vacation You probably can't wear shorts and look good. Stop having so much jealousy in
your heart and learn how to pray.
September 3rd, 2009 at 3:20 am
um we should all seriously consider getting a life
September 3rd, 2009 at 3:26 am
lol. you guys are waaaaaaaay too funny. that's what I like about you hahaha. um so obviously I don't have a life either, but this is a really boring matter to discuss. who cares? well all of you I guess…I don't think she's ugly though like the lady or mr. man said there. & I don't think she's pretty either…but then again who cares? not I…because I'm not her husband nor lover, plus it's not like she's running for miss USA she's just a random woman in my eyes. bums walk the streets all the time here & nobody cares. well maybe they still wish they were mrs. obama to get all the moolah lol.
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:10 pm
she rocks!
September 4th, 2009 at 6:32 am
Am not an American, but i think the media in the US should be a litle selective in their coverage. I mean there should be some allowance for privacy. secondly when some of the American people talk about "mrs Obama representing America", then to what extent should this happen? does it take even representation on private/ matters or dealings? Tell me Americans
September 7th, 2009 at 1:26 am
This is ridiculous. If you must spend your time on criticizing the Presidential family, keep your opinions to yourself. As the Internet grows exponentially in popularity and capability, we must all keep ourselves in check as to what is appropriate to post for the word to see and what is just plain mundane (I'm looking at you, twitter).
September 14th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Well this is what millions of voters wanted. It's a casual, laid back country full of casual, laid back people, isn't it? Men don't want to wear suits or ties anymore, complain if they do, women much the same. If you want something different, people will have to vigorously reject the whole 1960s ideology of humanistic egalitarianism, moral relativism, etc. I don't see it happening until the last of my generation, the baby boomers, are dead. Since history goes in cycles, future generations will no doubt look and behave differently, likely with a different population in place as well. Think how ridiculous dignified, elegant clothes like were worn in the 19th century would be on most contemporary people. That's what I mean by needing a whole different population. Today, even pressed slacks and shined lace up shoes or a ladies tailored dress and hat (like Grace Kelly for instance) are too 'dressed up', even for church. Does the current vogue in western civilization really deserve to look different from what the people are on the inside?
September 17th, 2009 at 2:36 am
seriously people, she may be the first lady but she is still a human being as well. who are you to judge?
September 24th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
Damn… she is one UGLY woman.
September 25th, 2009 at 2:57 am
I bet you Democrats would have jumped all over former first lady Laura Bush if she had worn something like that in public whether she was on official business or not!
October 7th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
I mean really?" I'm surprised to even see this as news worthy. Her shorts are a normal length = She looks like a lady /mom on vacation, somone you can relate too.
October 10th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
those arent short shorts – they are just shorts.
October 18th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
She has 16 assistants, the same number that Jackie Kennedy had and two more than Barbara Bush who had 14 and the hairdresser is a White House employee, not M. Obama's. Capris may have looked better to YOU but you are not her. She is in the public eye and the press should leave her the #@$%^ ALONE when she is on a PERSONAL FAMILY VACATION – we should not even be SEEING this picture. Maybe we can get the press to post some hot sex pictures of the Obama's love life – intrusion is their specialty.
October 18th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
and YOU are the reason I tell people I may have been BORN in Alabama but I was CONCEIVED in Georgia – not that it is much better but my Alabama relatives, to THIS DAY would describe them not as the "First Family" but a good "n" family – so you opinion colored a deep Alabama RED.
October 18th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
The guys in uniform are at work – she was on vacation. BIG difference. and for the Obama's AF One absolutely IS the family wagon.
October 18th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
button down collar shirts with a sweater tied around her shoulders and bermuda shorts – but their "beach" trips were sailing trips off the coast of Mass – not sunny hot Florida – I think there were a few photos of her in a bathing suit – a CLASSIC and classy one piece
October 26th, 2009 at 9:28 am
she was a big guy I think she must dress formal if public can see it
November 4th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
O GIVE ME A SERIOUS BREAK!! – THE FAMILY IS ON VACATION!!! – GET OVER YOURSELF!! IF EVERYONE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT EVERBODY DID 24/7, NOBODY WOULD DO ANYTHING, ANYTIME. WAKE UP !
—-
OUR FIRST LADY, MICHELLE OBAMA KNOWS WHO SHE IS. NO ONE NEEDS OR HAS TO TELL HER THAT AT ALL..
—-
SHE IS YOUNG & BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT, HAS CHARACTER, WIT, DEVOTED TO HER HUSBAND AND FAMILY, EDUCATED, LOVES CHILDREN, AND CARES ABOUT OUR COUNTRY
—-
BACK UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE – YOUR MISSING IT, BADLY.
—-
SHE REPRESENTS OUR COUNTRY BETTER THAT YOU THINK – SHE IS HERSELF
November 4th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
How do your mother look
November 4th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
When did you last look in the mirror
November 14th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
While I agree that when he was elected President (don't blame me, I voted the other way), she knew she would live her life in a fishbowl until the day she dies, she is entitled to some down time, just like anyone else. I don't think those shorts are offensive, I think she looks like a mother. Which….SURPRISE! That is exactly what she is!
November 15th, 2009 at 1:17 am
She is one of the ugliest women I have ever seen. She looks like a demon.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:25 am
At least I know that this outfit did not cost the taxpayers very much. I think we spend way too much for her wardrobe – it is nice seeing something obviously off the rack that she most likely bought herself, pre First Lady days.
November 18th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
All I can think of is "Sparkling Wiggles"…………………………………
November 19th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
They arent even short
