How about checking photos of our First Lady from a few years ago.  Was she wearing sleeveless dresses then.  I think it’s all about body heat.  I’d freeze in sleeveless clothes but FLOTUS is obviously very comfortable.  And she’s beautiful and elegant in every way, no matter what she wears.

What is all the fuss about regarding Michelle Obama’s bare arms?  For heaven’s sake it isn’t as though she is wearing underwear on her head!!  I saw an article asking if she is appropriately dressed or dressing too young.  She looks fabulous, appropriate and has brought a new energy to the position of first lady.  That isn’t about partisan politics it is just about being human and welcoming.   I know it has been said that Michelle enjoys fashion (why shouldn’t she?) but I am sure she would think this is just ridiculous.  Some people just have to pick things apart.

This is just weird WowOWow.  I didn’t vote for Pres Obama and I don’t agree with the First Lady’s views, but she is beautiful and classy and obvsiously smart.  Who cares about her arms?  I guess the fashion articles are okay, but give me a break.  Could we talk about more serious things, please?  I don’t think Michelle Obama would even appreciate this article, she’s a successful carerr woman and probably likes to be appreciated more for her brain.

If I had upper arms as gorgeous as Michelle Obama I’d wear sleeveless, too.  How about maybe it’s her own style?  She’s a very astute, intelligent woman - how about giving her credit for knowing what looks good on her?  She isn’t "copying" anyone.  Put away the magnifying glass and let her alone.  Living in the White House is life in a fish bowl - everyone speculates about the tiniest thing including being oh-so-concerned about what kind of dog they are going to adopt!  We have HUGE problems in this country and in the world - hatred, murder, starvation, disease and intolerance are rampant, jobs are scarce as hen’s teeth - leave our First Family alone and concentrate on your own lives and ask yourself how you can help others who are less fortunate.

What’s the fuss, bare arms??? I don’t understand what the problem is here, with the women that "flaunt" things that "should" be COVERED, I think the least of our moral problems are bare arms, don’t you?
