And now for some hard-hitting reporting on Michelle Obama

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 21, 2009 09:19 AM

I need to stop focusing on Michelle Obama’s relationship with Astroturf Axelrod and her other crony Chicago ties.

I need to stop asking questions about her meddling in the firing of the Americorps inspector general.

No, I’ve got to learn to emulate the hard-hitting MSM and investigate the important issues raised by the First Lady.

Like her shorts.

No, really.

Her shorts:

By now, Michelle Obama has firmly established her sartorial right to bare arms. But baring thighs may be another matter.

Photographs of the first lady descending the steps of Air Force One in shorts have the media in a sweat. Some are saying Mrs. Obama— on her way to the Grand Canyon for a family vacation — may have revealed too much skin.

Mrs. Obama is no stranger to public scrutiny over her fashion decisions, including exposing her bare arms or wearing expensive sneakers to a soup kitchen. When Anya Strzemien, style editor at The Huffington Post, saw Obama’s shorts, she knew there would be interest.

“I thought the fact that she wore shorts was newsworthy because she’s the first first lady to wear shorts on Air Force One,” Strzemien said. “I was interested as a newsperson because it was a first. A lot of things the Obamas have done have been firsts.”

She posted a poll for readers to explain what they thought: Most were in favor of the outfit, but others thought the shorts were inappropriate or too short.

She was “interested as a newsperson.”

Reason number 10,997 I had to write Culture of Corruption!!

    Whether she likes it or not, she’s representing our country. She needs to decide if she wants to be a positive representation or a negative representation. On this trip, she chose negative.

    Everytime I see these people, they’re running around the country or the world. They don’t represent the country, they represent themselves. It’s been “party time” since January. The Obamas were never qualified to be the “First Family”. At least, they can “try” to act Presidental. You can bet that experienced diplomats from around the world are laughing at every bit of news they see. They need to go back to Chicago. They’re more at home there.

    Exactly! As for her clothing choices, who cares? The majority of people are partisan drones. They make excuses for people they like and go out of their way to criticize people they don’t.

    Someone made a remark about a rusty caddy up on blocks. Since I don’t know the person I can’t say whether it was a lame joke or racist (or both). But I know it was dumb because it helps the left dismiss MM’s readers as racist.

    In some situations it can be a badge of honor to be called a racist–such as when MM herself receives that label for reporting on the legal and ethical misdeeds commited by minorities or on behalf of minorities. The caddy remark does not fall into that category.

    How many of the Missy Obama Media Mavens are old enough to remember the savaging of “dowdy” Mamie Eisenhower for wearing American clothes and having a local hairdresser do her hair? Jackie Kennedy “doesn’t buy local” and the media mavens wee weed themselves in awe.

    Mrs. Eisenhower was 56 when she entered the White House. Wouldn’t she have looked just a little tacky in the French “little black dress”?

    But these are the people who mocked Pat Nixon, Nancy Reagan and claimed school teachers do not work. It is to be expected. Missy Obama belongs in Chicago.

    Sorry to ask this, but does she even have a bra on?

    The picture of her at the bottom of the steps DOES appear to indicate that the AC on Air Force 1 may have been on full-blast….

    The “shorts” story may be less important than the MM scandal stories, but it’s more accurate.

    Stillwaiting – The context isn’t available but a rusty Cad on blocks surfaces visions of poor Americans without regard to race. One could find an example behind a house in rural Arkansas just as quickly as in a Chicago ghetto. Cadillacs are about being American and thus transcend race.

    Granted she’s no Laura Bush, Jackie O or Nancy Reagan, but she is the first Lady and while reading the comments here I thought I was on dkos.

    While I agree her fashion sense leaves a bit to be desired, come on guys, a little class. Save your nasty comments for policy/gaffes of the Administration (including Michelle)and the stupidity of the media.

    Degrading comments about her (or any other public figure’s) weight, facial features or other physical features should be left to the libtards.

    We’re better than that.

    For women there’s an emphasis on appearance, but that’s not because of us Neanderthal men: most of mainstream TV is aimed toward women and their sensibilities. So much for progress and men keeping women down.

    You’re right in some aspect. We delve too easily into cheap comments about her figure or looks,(guilty) but, comments regarding her slovenly appearance with regards to the degradation of the Whitehouse or the Presidency, I think are fair game. That picture indicates a severe lack of care about her current stature and what she represents. She is purportedly the First Lady. She should start dressing like one.
