Michelle Obama wears a head scarf as the Obamas tour the Istiqlal Mosque in Indonesia
You might find it interesting that the Istiqlal Mosque in Indonesia doesn’t require non-Muslim woman to cover their heads with head scarfs. Instead, according to the Hindustan Times, Michele Obama wearing the head scarf was merely a “a sign of the Obamas’ efforts to show respect for the Islamic world”. Michelle didn’t look too pleased while “showing Muslims respect.”

For all the respect they, the first couple, give to other cultures, maybe M should have remembered what the Muslim religion thinks of women, when she "forcefully" shook the hand of a "moderate" Muslim.

JAKARTA, Indonesia - A conservative Muslim government minister admits he shook hands with first lady Michelle Obama in welcoming her to Indonesia but says it wasn't his choice.


"I tried to prevent (being touched) with my hands but Mrs. Michelle held her hands too far toward me (so) we touched," Information Minister Tifatul Sembiring told tens of thousands of followers on Twitter.

GEEZ another embassassing foreign trip. :roll: First what was she thinking with that ugly pant suit? She BADLY NEEDS to fire her whole staff and hire one person that has some taste to dress her and another that knows foreign Protocol to coach her on what NOT TO DO. :roll: :x

She's just covering up the corn rows on her "nappy head" with that riduculous scarf.

God I miss Laura Bush............................................

At very least she "Looked" & "Acted" like a patriotic US representative.

I have to agree with you on Mrs Bush she was/is a class act. She knew how to dress and act the part of the first lady.

The Shameful thing is Michelle has how many assistants and she still looks and acts like she is in WAY OVER HER HEAD. Total embassassment everywhere she goes. She wears better clothes to the White House garden for a Photo op than she does to meet Heads of Foreign countries. WHO IS THE US PROTOCOL OFFICER. SHAMEFUL TOTALY SHAMEFUL :roll: :x

Funny how the loser is not in the US to honor the Vets isn't it? But then he wasn't in DC for Memorial Day either. He had a casual holiday with friends in Chicago a little b-ball and golf. Kind of shows the kind of C and C the US has doesn't it? A Photo OP in a Mosque in a Muslim Country with a wife wearing her pajamas or Honoring US heros in DC. The Mosque and pajamas win. :mad:

Whose clothing is she wearing? Too large, too long? Did they lose her luggage? I am embarrassed for her. Very few people can wear that color. Someone on her staff hates her. [That said from a woman sitting in wranglers! I must say that I am appropriately dressed to clean out stalls after tea.]

The slacks may just be too long, because she is not wearing her shoes. Would they still be too long if she had on high heels? Not sure.

ABC's Claire Shipman Swoons Over 'American Icon' Michelle Obama, Compares Her to Jackie Kennedy
By Scott Whitlock | November 10, 2010 | 11:18

According to Good Morning America, Michelle Obama is the second coming of Jackie Kennedy. Co-host Robin Roberts enthused on Wednesday, "...First Lady Michelle Obama is drawing comparisons to the first first lady of fashion diplomacy. That, of course, being Jackie Kennedy." An ABC graphic lauded the "American icon."

Correspondent Claire Shipman highlighted Michelle Obama's trip to India with her husband and hyped, "It's a charm and style offensive that has all of us reaching for that inevitable comparison. India just as besotted by this glamorous First Lady :shock: as it was by that ultimate style icon Jackie Kennedy, almost half a century ago."

Shipman has been reporting on the Obamas since 2007 and has made little attempt to hide her enthusiasm. On January 18, 2007, she rhapsodized about the "fluid poetry" of Barack Obama. On May 6, 2008, she gushed, "...I think it says it all that [Michelle Obama's] Secret Service code name is renaissance." :roll:

On October 31, 2008, the journalist wondered how Michelle Obama deals with her husband being "lusted after by all of these women out there" on the campaign trail. OMG :???:

On Wednesday, Shipman narrated as though she were at a fashion show: "From the moment Michelle Obama arrived in a classic gray sheathe with pearl buttons, a nod to a traditional Indian tunic, she's turned the fashion wattage up daily." :lol: :lol: :lol:

She added, "But, while her oh-so-divine predecessor captured hearts with her sheer perfection, Michelle Obama gives the role a thoroughly modern, approachable twist.

A transcript of the November 10 segment, which aired at 8:01am EST, follows:

ROBIN ROBERTS: But, coming up right now, as the Obamas make their way through a whirlwind overseas trip, First Lady Michelle Obama is drawing comparisons to the first first lady of fashion diplomacy. That, of course, being Jackie Kennedy.

CLAIRE SHIPMAN: Good morning, Robin. Well, As President John Kennedy so famously quipped about his own life on a trip to France, I'm sure it won't be long before Barack Obama realizes that he's just the man who accompanied Michelle Obama to South Asia. It's a charm and style offensive that has all of us reaching for that inevitable comparison. India just as besotted by this glamorous First Lady as it was by that ultimate style icon Jackie Kennedy, almost half a century ago. "Dancing queen rocks India," proclaimed the local papers. And "Michelle steals Barack's thunder." From the moment Michelle Obama arrived in a classic gray sheathe with pearl buttons, a nod to a traditional Indian tunic, she's turned the fashion wattage up daily.

MARY TOMER (Founder/contributing editor, Mrs-o-.org): She has been very respectful to the host country and their fashion tradition.

NEWSREEL FOOTAGE OF JACKIE KENNEDY: The First Lady's visit has been a personal triumph.

SHIPMAN: But, while her oh-so-divine predecessor captured hearts with her sheer perfection, Michelle Obama gives the role a thoroughly modern, approachable twist. Hop scotching in J. Crew with delighted kids of Mumbai. Happily busting a move to the magnetic sounds of Bollywood, later cajoling her husband to join. And she wowed everybody with her stunning version of traditional dress for the India state dinner. A very American interpretation of a sari. As she moved to Indonesia, Tuesday, she added trousers to her wardrobe, an acknowledgment of the more conservative culture in the country. The only note of controversy, one minister who doesn't believe in shaking hands with females outside of his family later e-mailed his followers saying Mrs. Obama reached out first. But in this video, he seems to be eagerly reaching out towards her, just as smitten as the rest of the world. Now, as the President continues his trip in South Korea, Mrs. Obama's on her way home. And I'm sure, Robin, he's wishing about now he wasn't losing such a valuable, headline-grabbing asset on his trip.

ROBERTS: And thinking on that lean-in, it was about a tie with the hand shake. It was tough to see who was going for the hand shake.

SHIPMAN: I guess so. I guess so. But it didn't look like he was telling the truth to me.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: He's been getting a lot of heat on Twitter.

ROBERTS: He is getting a lot of heat. That's right, George. And, George, you can appreciate that the president can't bust really a move like his other half. You like a guy who can't dance.

STEPHANOPOULOS: He doesn't even try that hard.

OH PLEASE I think I'm going to be SICK :roll:
