Michelle Obama's Whirlwind $50,000 Lingerie Shopping Spree

"Michelle Obama has risked the wrath of cash-strapped Americans by indulging in a $50,000 shopping spree at Agent Provocateur.

The First Lady is better known for shopping at more modestly priced High Street brands. But along with the Queen of Qatar, Sheikha Mozah, she closed off part of Madison Avenue to spend time in the luxury lingerie shop." Telegraph.co.uk


Ronald Reagan had a special connection with the American people, everybody from plumbers to politicians to lawyers responded to his warm engaging personality. But we had no soft sport in our hearts for First Lady Nancy Reagan, she was perceived as being aloof and having too much of the country club in her.

Michelle Obama makes Nancy Reagan look as down home as a Waffle House waitress who greets every customer by name as soon as he or she enters the restaurant.

The First Lady has a permanent scowl on her face (yes I will go there), she is the embodiment of the stereotypical "angry black woman." It would behoove Michelle to soften her personality, and not act like the Queen Bee of the White House.

By the way, the angry black woman stereotype is patently false; in my life I have met very few African American women who are as haughty and arrogant as the First Lady.

It's an outrage that in these hard economic times, when most Americans are struggling to make end meet, that Queen Bee Michelle Obama goes on a shopping spree with the Queen of Qatar.

Madison Avenue was closed off so that Michelle could buy $50,000 worth of lingerie without having to mingle with the great unwashed. Barack Obama may be the only one who is happy with Michelle's expensive tastes in lingerie, but the rest of us are fuming.

Why didn't the Occupy Movement attempt to occupy the Agent Provocateur luxury lingerie shop? Why am I just about the only liberal railing against the First Lady? Why are the UK publications covering this story, while American news organizations are ignoring it?

Michelle Obama, may or may not look good in a pair of sexy Agent Provocateur panties (I will keep my opinion to myself), but this fiasco doesn't make her or her husband look good.

Americas will remember Michelle's "let them eat cake" attitude when it comes time to vote this November.
