(297,818 posts)4. I was just going to post something like this, silverweb..
Everyone has the right to Bare Arms, too. But, the rwing insanity club was b*******, whining, and moaning that First Lady Michelle Obama did not have that right.. I think it was after the First SOTU?
Anyway..
"Michelle Obama 'Doesn't Look Or Act' Like A First Lady, Says Virginia Voter Bobbie Lussier"
Lussier: "They talk about more like her dresses and how she looks and stuff and her arms and whatever. [...] You see her walking around in shorts, and you know, just real casual wear. And to me ... I mean when I go to functions I kind of dress up other than today, but you just gotta look the part."
Lying like a MoFO is okay but stay the hell away from Those Beautiful Bare Arms.

"My problem with Michelle.. I refer not to her politics, but to her arms her bare, toned, elegant arms. Enough!"
Then again, Mrs. Obama will be 49 in January. Could it be time for her at least to begin to ponder setting a new fashion trend? Heres a thought. Maybe she could take a cue from her husband and, in a bipartisan gesture, adopt Ann Romneys preference for elbow-length sleeves and red taffeta. Or not.

This is NOT Victorian Times.. oh wait, that's their problem.
