Michelle Obama has boosted the profile of a number of up-and-coming designers since becoming First Lady in November 2008.
Designer Jason Wu created a full-length flower-covered dress for her inauguration balls and she has worn pieces by emerging names from London Fashion Week.
There isn’t one American designer who could make her a coat? Once again it’s more stunning extravagance from this White House and they have totally no concern about appearances.
$375,000 vacation in Spain? And we have to learn all this from UK newspapers via Drudge. (Thank you, Matt Drudge for keeping us informed.) She’s in Spain to “relax and unwind.” Something that she simply can’t do anywhere in the United States. A trip that would help bolster the economy of any American city and state that she choose to vacation in but there is nowhere in this country where she could do this.
My God, the gulf coast has suffered in a huge way this summer and she can’t spend a long weekend there? Of course not. There are no votes to garner there. The South is going to be solidly against TheOne and his party this fall.
Every day – – every. single. day. — it’s one more thing from this regime. I’m counting the days until this ends.

It’s amazing isn’t it, Vicki? She still holds high ratings in opinion polls and she has to be the coldest, most uncaring first lady we’ve ever had. Not to mention her extravagance. I’m still galled that she went to a London designer for a coat!!! And the stupid statement from Cokie Roberts that “after all, Spain is financially hurting, too.”
Who gives a flip about Spain’s problems when we have a major assault on the gulf coast?
These people make me puke!!!

The Obamas have been shamed (my opinion) about their Gulf coast vacation hypocrisy, so are now spending a whopping 27 hours in Florida… before leaving for two weeks to spend their family vacation up at Martha’s Vineyard. Less than a week after our “Material Girl” returned from her Spain vacation.
What a trooper FLOTUS Michelle is – how DOES she manage to suffer through and endure so many vacations, be so admired by the press for her designer wear, for her love of lobster, for her ability to put on a brave face and enjoy lavish holidays when a hefty number of hard-working Americans are panicked about paying the electric bill or losing their homes? Americans didn’t appreciate fully the sacrifice Michelle and Oprah Winfrey made when they traveled to Denmark to pitch Chicago for the Olympics. Shame on us all for not being enraptured with our sacrificing, skin in the game “Uptown Girl” – to quote two old L’oréal hair color slogans, “Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful” and “Because I’m worth it.”
