First Lady Obama Wears Shorts....So What?!  

I had the same reaction - I can't believe people are obsessing over Michelle Obama wearing shorts! She is at the Grand Canyon enjoying leisure time - I just don't understand what all the talk is about. I give her alot of credit for bringing the white house up to the times - she is a real woman, a wife, mom, and career woman and I think she carries herself with poise and has good taste. Good for her!

I heard just a little bit of this story this morning so I wasn't sure exactly what it was about. That is so ridiculous that they are making a big deal out of it. It isn't like she was wearing booty shorts and a tube top! Lets see them wear pants suits or something dressy in 110 degree weather. Its not like she was at an important event, she was on vacation with her family. It is just stupid and sad how they keep trying to tear them down.

I guess people have nothing better to do then talk about what Michell Obama is wearing. That has to mean they are bored out of their minds. I think they have to find whatever thay can to put a negative spin on it when it comes to the Obamas. They don't realize that normal people with a brain call this type of behavior stupidty.

Herein lies the problem with the American media service. Whenever there is something going on that the government would like swept under the rug (currently, the health care reform issue, the free internet issue, what the heck ever they want to call what's happening in the Middle East) they distract us with Michelle Obama's shorts. Or Britney Spears' underwear (or lack thereof) or whatever other trivial nonsense they can find to wave under our noses because they know that at least 75% of the people reading the news will be distracted by these things. We are easily distracted whether we want to admit it or not.

In all honesty that is what the public actually wants to hear believe it or not. The thing with people blame the media but the media is only really going to push what is going to get them viewers and society has shown to want to know everything about everyone - and just personal stuff. Its the same reason why celebrities are overdone and how we're still hearing about Michael Jackson when it should be stopped.

The thing is I would rather not hear people complain about when they say something bad about what's she is wearing and then want them to take about her good fashion sense. You get one or the other.

hahahah its true that there's nothing to talk about other than this... if ur a public icon well everything about u including the way u dress will be a controversy... but obviously again... the reaction of many is SO WHAT!?! Ur definitely correct about that we are all just but human... and human has the right to do wear something.. right?!

I completely agree with you. I have the same feeling as you have. Instead of being the first lady, she has all rights of a human being and media should concentrate on other important news than this kind of gosspis and issues. I appreciate Mischelle Obama for being herself and doing whatever she wants not caring about anything.

Wow, that is crazy that the media would report on that. Like oh wow michelle obama is being a normal person and wear shorts. It is true things to be better reported on besides michelle obama wearing shorts. I mean I not trying to be mean or anything and I don't think I am being mean, but who really cares that she's wearing shorts. Report something more interesting.

what?! how could you NOT care that she was seen with her ankles and OMG her upper legs exposed for all the world to ogle!!

LMAO how pathetic, i guess the media is running out of "controversy's" so they are trying REALLY hard to create one. very lame one. of course there are those Obama haters out there who see him rub his nose and will somehow come to the conclusion that he is on drugs, so those same ppl with also find some scandalous reason that the First Lady was seen in an everyday pair of shorts! and OH THE HORROR!

Yes the reporters around the world look for all these kind of news just to get more publicity for their newspapers and websites. They do not care about the personal lives of the people. I mean even Michelle Obama will not be liking this either. But you told correctly "we all are humans". Media should understand that what news should be published and which should not be published. Media has an important role in the development of any country and they have to play this role sensibly.
