I’m So glad that someone agreed with me.
Her bended hip with a short facing the entire world really bothers me, it’s disgraceful. She needs etiquette lesson.

Suzanne,
you sure said that right. A grown woman wearing shorts needs to be careful how she gets in the vehicle. Especially w/the news cameras all over the place.

Good points, Suzanne, and these are shared by other people and news services. I’m not sure I agree with the “double standard” of Michelle-O dressing casually while vacationing at the Grand Canyon during the summer, but your point that she represents the USA is an excellent one.

The media already has gone gaga for months about her “well-toned arms” and her being sleeveless at formal events, even during February, which is freezing cold in DC. They’ve called her a fashion maven for being sleeveless when common sense, to me, says you should wear sleeves, especially if it is to formal presidential-type events. They’ve herald her chicness and daring… sigh. That has bothered me much more than her wearing shorts to the Grand Canyon… the casual bare-armed thing when touring the UK seemed really inappropriate to me. Like going to a picnic or swim party rather than being on the international stage with a thousand international newspapers taking your photos. Just MHO.

Thanks for your input.

Because Michelle O wore shorts during triple-digit temps in Arizona? While visiting a canyon.
Nothing wrong with that, we women all wear shorts. HOWEVER Michelle is not we the average women, she is the first lady. perhaps, from now on we should call her \FIRST WOMAN\ not \FIRST LADY\ who represents the U.S.A.
Also, she needs take the \ETIQUETTE\ lesson, lady should not be climbing into the car showing her butt to the viewers, It’s disgraceful. she should had slide herself side way into the car, her butt first then lift her legs together into the car.
