Michelle Obama in Shorts...

[Anonymous]

No, her legs are not too big. Simply because she does not have scrawny, skinny, aneroxic legs does not mean her legs are too big. And simply because her facial features are not patrician does not make her face weird either. There is absolutely nothing weird about her looks, face or legs.

That's your opinion. My opinion is that she has big legs and would have looked better if the shorts were longer. Heck my legs are big and I know what doesn't look good and short shorts on someone with big legs doesn't look good.

My opinion is that one of her many charming and sexy qualities is her confidence. Which is why I'm sure that she doesn't give a rat's ass what you or anyone on this board things about her.

One reason that she inspires me-- she is who she is, proudly, with a smile. Her husband obviously finds her hot, and it shows in his face.

Her sense of being comfortable in her skin shows in hers.

I think that's way hotter than a size 2 body any day.

You are out of your mind. She does NOT have big legs. I don't know what you are looking at or the standards you're applying. But, you are crazy.

Agreed. I think she's fabulous.

C'mon ppl. She's in her 40s, a mother of two children. A smart, accomplished woman educated at Ivys, with entry not based on wealth or legacy. Why judge her on old standards of the value of a woman? She's gonna set her own pace.

I am a huge fan of Michelle Obama -- not just her fashion sense, but her accomplishments, her personality, etc. But I disagree with her decision to wear shorts. Did anyone notice that in the photo of her stepping off Air Force One in her shorts, were two Marine escorts who were in dress uniform in that same Arizona heat? They're on the job, and they must wear their uniforms. Mrs. Obama was not on vacation, but was on a government-paid trip to Arizona with her husband. I don't think it's too much to ask the First Lady to dress decorously and not as if she's on vacation while she's performing her public function. If she had been on vacation, then I could not care less if she was dressed in a bathings suit. But this did not strike me as proper.

She was on vacation.

No she wasn't -- they're going on vacation later this month to Nantucket. This was an official trip.

And that's why her kids were with her.

They went to the Grand Canyon for the day. Family vacation.

It may have been an "official trip" BUT they were in freaking Arizona. Big deal if she had shorts on. I haven't seen anyone trotting around the Grand Canyon in heels.

You need to read more carefully. All the stories explain that they were there to "promote awareness" for national parks. They're making their rounds to Montana and other locations this week.

Promote awareness for national parks? Are you kidding? National parks have been very popular especially with vacationers wanting to save money during the recession. Was it really a taxpayer sponsored family trip in disguise?

She should not wear shorts in public.
