The outrage is indeed manufactured — it’s put together on an assembly line by mini-humans who look like Glenn Beck and are unable to say anything other than “you betcha!” The outrage is available for purchase at $99.99, and all proceeds will go towards defeating socialism/fascism and restoring our country to a good Christian nation.

Jesus, first Barack can’t wear jeans and now Michelle can’t wear shorts? BISH PLZ. I’m sure that if you looked through the photo archives, you’d find plenty of photos of W. and Laura wearing jeans and shorts during the summer.

Assholes need to back the fuck off the Obamas, is all I’m sayin’.

Oh dear me! Mrs. Obama wearing shorts!
Christ, these people will think of anything to bitch about to make sure everybody hears their moans of dismay as long as it detracts from the real issues going on.

What struck me about the picture I saw wasn’t Michelle Obama’s shorts as much as how huge the air force officer’s suit was. http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/first-lady-Michelle-Obama/photo//090820/480/5e4e93101a694d03885c0466c41e9dcb//s:/ap/20090820/ap_on_re_us/us_fea_lifestyles_michelle_obama_shorts_1
Is it supposed to look like that? He looks floppy.

Maybe this country just has a chronic case of the stupids.

This gets my vote.

I also think that part of focusing on Michelle Obama’s clothing (as this is not the first time) is a way of silencing her. By focusing on her clothes, the media is saying that she doesn’t have much else to offer other than her looks.

I wrote a post on this yesterday here: http://youngfeministadventures.blogspot.com/2009/08/are-clothes-more-important-than.html
