Jack Cafferty of CNN has confessed that he has a crush on Michelle Obama. Could it be that he’s really in love with her arms?
Her arms are becoming the stuff of legend.
I think I am developing a crush on America’s first lady. Michelle Obama is more compelling than her husband. He’s good, but she’s utterly fascinating.
Here she exercises good judgement by covering up with a pantsuit and a vest. Well, baby, it IS cold outside. The shirt has gotten some prior press (yea!) and the pants and jacket look like good staples from any woman’s closet. I doubt that any of her gowns will get a repeat performance as fashionistas will be the first to point fingers as they did with Mrs. Carter.
In 1977, Rosalynn Carter infuriated the U.S. fashion industry by recycling a blue chiffon evening gown and sleeveless coat trimmed with gold embroidery that she had worn during her husband’s gubernatorial celebration. Carter had purchased it off-the-rack at a Georgia store and most likely recycled the dress because we were in the midst of a recession. Maybe if the re-do had been well executed, Rosalynn’s thrifty ways wouldn’t have been so ill received.
This visit was the first tour in honor of Women’s History Month. Long and repeat tours of duty affect grandparents, parents, spouses and siblings, some of whom are left to look after the servicemember’s children, said Mrs. Obama at her visit to the America Memorial Center at Arlington National Cemetary.
Luckily, Mrs. Lisa Pagan will get to stay home with her 2 kids after a lengthy appeal to not repeat a tour of duty. Maybe the individual ready reserve program should be repealed or modified so that a reserve can only be called up for a different war so they have time to live and raise families before called to active duty again. It seems that once you enlist, the government owns you. The excellent movie, Stop Loss, portrays how the men, women and their families are affected by repeat tours of duty. We’re guessing this wasn’t the topic of conversation at the Arlington Memorial Cemetary.
