On Xmas shopping spree at crafts village, Michelle runs out of cash
Oh dear. That will never do.
NEW DELHI: While her husband talked trade, Michelle Obama did what most women love to do — shop. The First Lady, who has quite a reputation as a fashionista and is known to send stock prices of clothing companies zooming when she slips into one of their dresses, ran up a bill of thousands on an assortment of Indian handicrafts and textiles.
While visiting the 25 stalls at the National Handicrafts and Handlooms Museum in Pragati Maidan, she even stopped to woefully exclaim, ”I wish I had brought more money!”
I bet.
Meanwhile, in an alternate reality:
ABC’s Claire Shipman Swoons Over ‘American Icon’ Michelle Obama, Compares Her to Jackie Kennedy
According to Good Morning America, Michelle Obama is the second coming of Jackie Kennedy. Co-host Robin Roberts enthused, “…First Lady Michelle Obama is drawing comparisons to the first first lady of fashion diplomacy. That, of course, being Jackie Kennedy.” An ABC graphic lauded the “American icon.”
Correspondent Claire Shipman highlighted Michelle Obama’s trip to India with her husband and hyped, “It’s a charm and style offensive that has all of us reaching for that inevitable comparison. India just as besotted by this glamorous First Lady as it was by that ultimate style icon Jackie Kennedy, almost half a century ago.”
Shipman has been reporting on the Obamas since 2007 and has made little attempt to hide her enthusiasm. On January 18, 2007, she rhapsodized about the “fluid poetry” of Barack Obama. On May 6, 2008, she gushed, “…I think it says it all that [Michelle Obama’s] Secret Service code name is renaissance.”
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m getting sick and tired of the “Michelle Obama is the new Jackie Kennedy” line.
Hmmm…
Polite is one thing, but people please stop lying with the “fashionista” bull!
