Big But

The Atlanta Urinal and Constipation, on today website carries a survey for readers, asking for judgement on the so-called classic fashion of Michelle Obama.

The question reads....

First lady Michelle Obama has wowed the nation with her classic style, grace and elegance. Already, she's compared to Jackie O. But what would she wear on her European excursion?

This this topic my wife who scream from the highest mountain. " I taught fashion for 30 years, I have students in prestigious collegiate fashion program, and I know that this woman does not know how to dress herself, she is overweight and wear big belts that make her ass look huge."

Why the obsession that media has with the comparisons to Jackie? Jackie's respect came from her actions in office, that in addition to her god given beauty, that too in addition to being compared to her predecessor Mamie Eisenhower who was not a handsome woman. Michelle Obama may yet show the class of Jackie O. but initial indicators in the election tour say otherwise. This is a woman that said plainly that only now is she proud to be an American, as if nothing in the past of the United States was praiseworthy until a black man was a viable candidate for President.

It's going to take a lot of success on Michelle's part to convince me she even compares to Mrs. Bush, either one. That said, in recent history, with exception of Hillary Clinton, presidential spouse are given enough guidance in public life that success is a pretty sure thing.
