One does expect the first Lady of the previously richest and most powerful nation on the planet to dress appropriately, I would define appropriately as with decorum, not like a chubby paris hilton.

Of course, but that is at public functions, not in the privacy of her own home while walking the dog.
What she wears at these public functions is a matter of taste, but simply everything is being derided by those that simply can't stomach having a black first lady, even if they are not American . . . I simply can't fathom Jet's utter hatred for her.

If one were to not have double standards . . . where were the cris of derision when Bill or Doofus W went jogging? Shorts for the President of the USA? Surely not. Jeans? Nooo ..

I'm sure we could find many photos of Hillary (ugh) or any other recent Prez's wives in anything other than ball-gowns or evening attire.

Give it a break there PH...this current "first lady" is far from 'acceptable' if y'all know what we mean. She's on TV today talking about how she wants to change the regular course of music that's played at the WH from Hip Hop to some Jazz.

Makes one want to hurl if you know what I mean...

True, I hadn't thought of it like that . . . plus Michelle Obama lives in the US . . . aplace Jet isn't allowed to enter.


Honestly, BM. I don't think she is 'far from acceptable', irrespective of my political leanings.

Calling Jet a bitch . . . you're opening your eyes at last!

oh, the irony.

Oh dear . . . never had dealings with good old Sparky before, sent him a very rare red for a silly comment and he/she goes ballistic . . . By the way, what does your sentence, I helpfully made it bold, actually mean?

As for hogging the whole forum . . . double oh dear . . .

Well, making sense and understanding numbers aren't really Sparky's strong points, it seems.

Chill, Sparky . . . it's not worth the hassle. No bad feelings on my part, I assure you

Don't worry Boon I got you covered. Please don't tell me that since Ant is jailed ray has glommed onto PH. PH do you really want ray hanging onto your leg?

Jet Gorgon

It's the other way round, Atta.

foreigner

I've been thinkin' the same.

a right wing plant that is on the forum full time posting insane nut case right wing ideologue BS

does "it" ever post on Thai related threads .. or only on political issues.

panama hat

Indeed . . . he (doubtfully a she) seems to have spent the majority of her very many posts in US-related issues . . . that's what happens when you never leave your home country aside from being barred from entering the US on stalking charges.

attaboy wrote:I actually agree with a great many positions that RC speaks out on . . . and also disagreed with the vehemence that Texpat, Jet and some others hoed into him simply for holding a different viewpoint.

But then I also agree with some things Boon Mee and you position yourselves as . . .

Neitehr is lock, stock and barrel, though.

Elementary school children who had helped First Lady Michelle Obama plant a vegetable garden in April were invited back Tuesday to harvest vegetables.

According to a press pool report by the National Journal’s Jerry Hagstrom, White House associate chef Sam Kass said the garden has produced lettuce, snap peas, beans, kale, collard greens, and chard.** The children from Washington’s Bancroft Elementary School concentrated on harvesting lettuce and peas.

A productive plot

Before today’s harvest, White House chefs had already taken 90 pounds of produce from the garden, including broccoli and green beans and one beautiful eggplant, chef Kass said. Herbs have been harvested every night and are not included in the 90 pounds.

The garden’s bountiful output has been produced without using fertilizer or herbicide. But the underlying White House soil had been “amended” with crab meal from the Chesapeake Bay, green sand compost, and lime powder, officials said.

After completing an interview with ABC News, Mrs. Obama walked down the White House lawn dressed in orange jeans, a blouse, and patterned sweater. She thanked the children for being there when the ground was broken and the garden planted. “Your group helped pull up the soil,” she said.

Well done Michelle- I wish my veggie patch worked that well. Home grown veggies- yum.

** Note for the tubthumping right. Vegetables highlighted in Bold and italicised are sometimes called 'soul food'. Yawwwnn.

"during the Obama's recent trip to London, Michelle was secretly involved in an NSA black op's mission. The clandestine plot known only as "Queen Mudder," involved Michelle gaining access to the gardens of Buckingham Palace. This required The First Lady to gain the trust of the Queen of the UK. Feigning an interest in rutabagas she harvested the Queen Mother's knowledge of vegetable gardening.

Stunningly it appears the rouse worked. Today on an American television network, Morning Show anchors talked extensively about the cozy relationship between Michelle and the Queen. They reported that the two spent extensive time touring the Royal Gardens, even exchanging tips. It seems the Queen's security detail was caught unaware.

Recent scandals have plagued the United Kingdom. So far, the Royal Family has remained untouched. When details of this intrusion into English garden sovereignty unfold it is unclear how the UK's gardeners will react."

Took all the good stuff before the kids were invited back, huh? Ya, my little garden is doing well (eating lettuce and rads already), but I bet Mrs BO has pro gardeners.

Michelle Obama bringing glamour to Moscow


MOSCOW (AP) — Michelle Obama brings her superstar glamour to Moscow this weekend as she accompanies her husband on his summit with the Russian president.
But the American first lady, who has wowed publics in the U.S. and Europe with her easy elegance and charm, will perhaps face a bigger challenge in winning over a Russian public that has scant respect for women who grab the limelight from their powerful husbands.
In a country where a presidential candidate once quipped he'd sooner pack his wife off to a convent than allow her to dabble in politics, Russia still has trouble with the concept of an empowered woman behind the throne.

As for the latter sentence, oh really??
