I'm actually at a loss as to why she would be there at all. Or anywhere really, for that matter.

It's really not an issue ... the "bitches" I was referring to are the right wing ****tards who keep insisting that Obama is a feckless Muslim who kowtows to the mullahs. Subtlety is lost on this crowd though.

Michelle Obama forgoes a headscarf and sparks a backlash in Saudi Arabia - The Washington Post This is the president's passive-aggressive way of sending a message to the Saudis without putting his own name on it. Smart move. It reminds me of Joe Biden's remarks re: Turkey helping ISIS, for which he later apologized. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/05/wo...n-apology.html The message got across; the subsequent apology is just an obligatory face saving move to help the medicine go down. |

In 2010, Mrs. Obama wore a headscarf on a trip to Indonesia. This caused a similar teapot-style tempest on an otherwise slow news day.... http://blogs.reuters.com/faithworld/...256-custom.jpg |

Re: Michelle Obama ...
Just the usual crap media explosion! Pretty much like the fit they are all having about Andy Murrays fiancée swearing during his latest match in the Australian Open. Story about nowt!
