Cash-for-Clunkers was a fiasco. But don’t be surprised if the President tries to stimulate the economy with a new program called “Cash-In-Fashions.” It’ll be a program where you’ll get a new dress when you bring in an old one that can be recycled.
Cash-for-Clunkers was a fiasco. But don’t be surprised if the President tries to stimulate the economy with a new program called “Cash-In-Fashions.” It’ll be a program where you’ll get a new dress when you bring in an old one that can be recycled.
As the New York Times reports, this kind of drastic action may be necessary because the First Lady’s personal fashion designer is closing her doors:
Remember the purple sheath Mrs. Obama wore the night of the fist bump heard round the world? The teal number at the Democratic National Convention? Or the red dress she wore to meet the Bushes on their way out of the White House? Maria Pinto all, designed right here where both women were born and raised and, over the course of one remarkable election, became stars.
So when Ms. Pinto abruptly put up a “closeout sale” sign in the window of her West Loop boutique and announced that she was folding her fashion business, Chicago — and Pinto devotees all over — reacted with disbelief: What in sartorial heaven happened? “I pushed as far as I could,” Ms. Pinto, 53, said in her first lengthy interview since the demise of her store and wholesale operations in mid-February.
Just back from a month’s break in Barcelona, she pointed to the strain that a sour economy had placed on her business just as it was expanding and gaining major traction beyond a loyal Chicago following.
We love this wacky storyline that says Michelle Obama is the new Jackie Kennedy. Her huge booty have been home to some of the worst outfits ever seen on a First Lady.
Maybe Pinto can get a job as a census worker. We hear they’re having trouble filling those jobs.

Now we have photographic evidence that Sasquatch has migrated across the country, seen this weekend in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville, North Carolina.
The top photo is the famous one taken of Sasquatch by Roger Patterson in the wilds of Northern California in 1967.
Now we have photographic evidence that Sasquatch has migrated across the country. The bottom photo was snapped this weekend in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville, North Carolina.
Oh, wait. This news just in.
Turns out the bottom photo is of Michelle Obama, not Sasquatch. But c’mon, man, anybody could have made the same mistake. Same size. Same shape. Same stride.
Sasquatch would have needed less retouching to be on the cover of this month’s Good Housekeeping, but other than that it’s pretty damn tough to tell the difference.

We can’t verify the quotes, but according to their faces, the conversation went something like this:
Gates: Good lord, Becky, that dress looks like hotel carpet.
Becky Gates: You need to stay in better hotels.

Mrs. Obama and some of the children performed what she called a “growing dance” around the wooden planter. The group chanted “grow, rhubarb, grow” several times, then circled the planter and finished by throwing their hands in the air.
Those big city Chicago girls take to the farm like pigs to mud. So to speak.
First Chicago girl Hillary Clinton turned $1000 into $100,000 by trading hog bellies on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. And now Chicago girl Michelle Obama has become America’s leading agricultural expert.
The Christian Science Monitor reports from Michelle’s White House Garden:
“We harvested over 55 different kinds of healthy food — 55!” the first lady reported. “One thousand pounds of food! Can you imagine that?”
She told the students that no matter where people live or how old they may be, they can still garden, noting the fun of spending time outdoors and digging in the dirt.
To illustrate that point, the first lady knelt in the 1,500-square-foot garden and planted two rows of broccoli as well as some rhubarb.
After the rhubarb was in the ground Mrs. Obama and some of the children performed what she called a “growing dance” around the wooden planter. The group chanted “grow, rhubarb, grow” several times, then circled the planter and finished by throwing their hands in the air.
Immediately after completing the rhubarb dance, Mrs Obama led the children in the Rasmussen dance, in which the children chanted “Grow, approval numbers, grow.”

At a time when state budgets are in crisis, First Lady Michelle Obama is prodding the nation’s governors to spend more money to keep kids from packing on the pounds.
At a time when state budgets are in crisis, First Lady Michelle Obama is prodding the nation’s governors to spend more money to keep kids from packing on the pounds. She doesn’t care if they avoid economic Armageddon, but she cares deeply that they avoid a Big Mac and fries.
Hey, wait just a darn second. Isn’t telling kids they’re fat supposed to be what causes eating disorders?
Fox News gives us the skinny:
“There’s no place for politics when it comes to fighting childhood obesity,” she told governors at their winter meeting.
The National Governor’s Association assembles in Washington every year to discuss issues that affect all of their states. This year’s main theme is health care — a topic at the heart of the first lady’s new campaign on obesity.
“If we think our health care costs are high now, just wait until 10 years from now,” she said. “Think about the many billions we’re going to be spending then. Think about how high those premiums are going to be when our kids are old enough to have families of their own and businesses of their own.”
Obama wanted to remind the state officials that childhood obesity was not a problem brought on by lazy children.“Our kids didn’t do this to themselves,” she said. “Our kids didn’t decide whether there’s time for recess or gym class, or our kids don’t decide what’s served to them in the school cafeteria.”
Let us sum this up for you:
Spend money you don’t have to solve a problem that just causes another problem.
Liberalism in action.

Here in the socialist section of the Obama library we see The American Socialist Movement and The Socialist Party of America.
Rob Port of of the SayAnything blog toured the White House on Wednesday and took this photo in the library. He quotes the tour guide as saying the library is stocked with books specifically selected by First Lady herself.

Obviously, the inclusion of these books means nothing in and of itself. (The Editor of IHateTheMedia.com has biographies of Hitler and Napoleon in his library and that makes him neither a Nazi nor a Bonapartist).
But, as Port notes, it is interesting in light of White House advisor Anita Dunn calling Chairman Mao her favorite philosopher and the First Lady putting a bright, shiny Mao ornament on the White House Christmas tree.
Interesting, no?

Given the raging success of Mrs O the website, which chronicles the fashion statements by the Most Glamorous First Lady In History, a book was a foregone conclusion.
Given the raging success of Mrs O the website, which chronicles the fashion statements by the Most Glamorous First Lady In History, a book was a foregone conclusion. And, of course, reviews of Mary Tomer’s Mrs O have been nothing less than stellar
“Tomer’s is at least the third fashion-related book on the first lady, and so far, it’s the most comprehensive, tracing Obama’s style from that frigid day in Springfield, Ill., when her husband announced his candidacy to the first lady’s springtime tour of Europe,” Politco.com noted.
“[Tomer] spoke with more than 40 designers for the book, which includes two-page interviews with such Obama favorites as Jason Wu, Loree Rodkin, Isabel Toledo and Peter Soronen. It’s also filled with fabric swatch close-ups, dress shots (both famous and less well known) and displays the thoroughness of a librarian in cataloging the origins of Obama’s many brooches, pins and patent-leather heels,” the Washington Post raved.
But here’s the only review you really need:
“Only on a planet where Barack Obama is considered a moderate, where a tax cheat is named Secretary of the Treasury, and where a pervert is put in charge of safe schools, could Michelle Obama be called ‘the new Jackie Kennedy,'” said IHateTheMedia.com.
And now to prove our point, let’s take a journey around le monde du faux pas de mode de Michelle Obama (for those of you who aren’t up to speed on your French fashion lingo, that means “the world of Michelle Obama’s fashion don’ts”).
The Grand Canyon. Hey, c’mon, we’re talking about the landscape.
The White House Christmas tree is decorated with ornaments adorned with photos of Mao Tse-Tung, a transvestite named–and, no, we are not making this up–Heada Lettuce, and the traditional picture of The Greatest President In History on Mount Rushmore.
Ahhh, the Holidays. Eggnog, mistletoe, a commie dictator, a transvestite, and an egomaniac.
What madness is this, you say? Well, according to BigGovernment.com, the White House Christmas tree is decorated with ornaments adorned with photos of Mao Tse-Tung, a transvestite named–and, no, we are not making this up–Heada Lettuce, and the traditional picture of The Greatest President In History on Mount Rushmore.
It seems that the madman designer Simon Doonan, who the Obamas put in charge of decorating the tree, decided to be naughty rather than nice. He decked the halls and decorated the aforementioned tree with the equally aforementioned images.
Leave it to this White House to come up with this lovely new Christmas tradition. Kind of chokes you up, doesn’t it?

Turns out very few people Oprah interview Obama on Sunday night. In fact, the show attracted fewer viewers than the show that normally runs in that time slot.
The results of the Nielsen Ratings seems to confirm the problems Obama is having in the Rasmussen and Gallup polls. Americans are tuning out Obama on TV, too.
Turns out very few people Oprah interview Obama on Sunday night. In fact, the show attracted fewer viewers than the show that normally runs in that time slot.
TVbyTheNumbers.com tells the low-rated tale:
Of course, Sunday Night Football & NBC won the Sunday night ratings as usual, as NBC averaged a 5.7 adults 18-49 rating on the night, far ahead of second place CBS‘ 2.9 rating, which was itself boosted by an NFL overrun. ABC’s Christmas In the White House special did a 2.8 adults 18-49 rating, lower than the season average for Brothers & Sisters (of 3.17).
Lumps of coal this Christmas for Oprah and her political boy toy.

Earlier in the evening she did an interview with Bill O’Reilly and she made a point (watch minute 5:45 in the video above) to O’Reilly that there are no democrats on this list.
But maybe she’s right. To be fair, she didn’t say there were no socialists on the list.
That Michelle Obama, she’s such a trend setter. It’s little wonder that she’s known as The Most Glamorous First Lady In History. And believe it or not the FLOTUS has outdone her glamorous self again.

Remember way back in the good ol’ days (Translation: prior to November 4, 2008) when Michelle Obama created the fiction that she was just a regular gal who shopped at J. Crew?
Well, those days are now long gone and forgotten.
The Most Glamorous First Lady in History just placed an order for two outrageously expensive pairs of custom-made, high fashion boots — one pair of flat black boots and another pair of calf-length boots in beige buckskin — from French designer Robert Clergerie.
The First Lady must be getting ready for another appearance at a charity food bank and the $540 pair of Lanvin tennis shoes she wore last year are undoubtedly completely worn out by now.
Of course, outrageously expensive clothing was not part of her image during the presidential campaign. Back then, the media helped created the fiction that she regularly sported affordable sweaters carefully selected at J. Crew and reasonably-priced Anne Klein dresses purchased with pennies scrimped and saved from her meager household budget.
The price of Empress Michelle’s new shoes hasn’t been revealed. But we are willing to guarantee that it’s more than you paid for your last pair of shoes. Maybe even more than your last house payment.

A distraught Oprah Winfrey is telling pals her “thank you” for helping Barack Obama win the presidency has been a knife in the back. Michelle Obama is jealous of her.
We’ve been crying our damn eyes out over this one — wishing, hoping, dreaming that it’s not true, but knowing in our heart of hearts that it probably is.
The National Enquirer reports:
A distraught Oprah Winfrey is telling pals her “thank you” for helping Barack Obama win the presidency has been a knife in the back.
A jealous first lady has frozen the talk queen out of the White House inner circle, say insiders. “Oprah is devastated,” revealed a friend.
“She had no idea that Michelle was so jealous about the influence she had on Barack. She hated the way her husband would huddle with Oprah over strategy and jump when she called.
“The jealousy and anger was eating up Michelle. During the campaign, she vowed Oprah would not be a part of the new administration.
“Oprah had visions of being a close adviser to the president and a regular visitor to the White House. She was actually planning to redecorate the famous Lincoln bedroom, which is reserved for special guests of the first family.
“But in the first 10 months of the Obama administration, Oprah has visited the White House only twice, and one visit was for a business meeting to do an interview with Michelle for O magazine.
We know what you’re thinking – it’s just the National Enquirer. But these guys were right all along about John Edwards and the baby mama, so who are we to doubt them?
Next week: The Enquirer reveals that Malia and Sasha are the result of Michelle’s encounter of the fourth kind with reptilian aliens.

Michelle Obama is the coolest first lady ever…
I could pile on platitudes here about her professional accomplishments, or explore to what degree she is redefining the role of women, or predict how she will be viewed by historians in the pantheon of her predecessors. I could, but I won’t. That’s not my bailiwick.
But I will say that she seems particularly suited to these times. She provides a certain authenticity and clarity of self in a time of uncertainty, projecting a casual grace onto a world of amplified anxiety. She has become a powerful symbol of fearlessness, refinement, frugality and frivolity, managing to be both fun and serious simultaneously. She’s genuinely human.
Mrs. Obama is redefining my concept of a first lady, and I like it.
Oops. Premature ejaculation.

Here’s how the LA Times blog sarcastically described it:
As she often does in her public remarks (think Copenhagen), the president’s wife falls back on her own life for story material. We learn today that in her childhood they got pizza once each year or semester, one or the other — and then only if the children had received good grades.
We also learn Mrs. Obama loves french fries. Very much. Extremely much. But that she knows she can’t eat them every day. She doesn’t explain why not. Apparently, she thinks it’s bad somehow.
Mrs. Obama also says that her two daughters have no TV time on school days, which forces them to find activities other than sitting. Actually moving around, the way neighborhood youngsters did back in the neolithic pre-TV times of the 1940s and before.
And Sasha and Malia Obama only get a few hours of TV on the weekend — presumably not Fox News either because, according to other White House denizens, watching that channel can cause bad things to happen to the human brain.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s great. We get it. She’s The Most Glamorous First Lady In History and also The Greatest Mother In History.
We have to end this story now. Our healthy, fiber-filled bonbons are melting and getting all over our keyboard.

That’s right. Mrs-O.org is promoting a contest in which you can win $150 for dressing a digital Michelle Obama in the best combination of fashion items.
You could dress her as a fearless First Lady. Or as a hospital Vice President plotting a patient dumping scheme. Dress her for an America-hatin’ Sunday morning in Reverend Wright’s church. Dress her for a date night in New York city at the taxpayer’s expense. Why, the possibilities are virtually endless.
In what can only be considered a major fashion faux pas, the list of fashion items includes neither a burka nor a linebacker uniform.
