3. HOW FREAKING COOL IS THAT!
Look at the First Mom, look at her HAIR!

Here is why I like these people.
They just don't give a shit what other people may think.
If it's for the kids, and the kids have fun and get all excited and happy?
It's fine by them.

GOD, it's good to have some REAL people in the "peoples" house again.

I think maybe a BLOWOUT for New Years Eve?

(thanks Jackeens, you're the best!)

142. You guys need to lighten up...
Yes, her HAIR!

It's crazy funny and obvious that she took some time with her cute outfit.
Can you imagine Laura Bush doing something like that?

Sometimes you have to read the entire post before you respond.
God, you mention a womans hair and it's like you committed a mortal sin.
Glad I didn't say anything about her shoes, or I would be banned for life!
Did I mention I thinks she ROCKS!

150. What confused me was "first mom."
To me, Michelle is First Lady, and "First Mom" would be her mother. So I couldn't figure out what might be special about her hair, because it looked just plain normal to me.

Yes! The Obamas should have dressed as Hitler and madam Mao!


Or even better... Barack as Glenn Beck (he coulda cried all night) and Michelle as Michelle....Malkin! (she coulda screeched all night)

I know, I know...Too frightening for the real children.... and the GOP children in Congress and the media.

23. POTUS deemed FLOTUS to be “a very nice-looking Cat Woman."
:-)

MEOW: POTUS, FLOTUS – as Cat Woman! – first grandma Marian Robinson and some 2,000 children and a few hundred adults are trick-or-treating at the White House for Halloween.

Pool reports Obama dressed in casual slacks, checked shirt and a black sweater, while FLOTUS got into the spirit of things with an orange-and-black leopard-type top and cat ears, black eye shadow, her hair in a bun and lots of gold bracelets on one arm.

POTUS deemed FLOTUS to be “a very nice-looking Cat Woman."

Michelle is officially the bestest, funnest First Lady EVAR!

Obama is punk cause he didn't dress up but I will forgive him because of that damned smile and the fact that they opened our house to the kids for Halloween.

Thanks, Jackeens!

These pics make me very happy. :hi:

If Obama had dressed up, we'd be seeing it for years on wingnuts' posters.

Still, I hope that's not why he didn't dress up. Probably just a guy thing.

I kind of wondered about that one myself, however, the whole thing brings tears to my eyes, to see that the current President MAKES the time to come out and do things like this with kids of our military, who have to bear so much grief.
Obama is simply awesome in this respect.

85. Maybe tomorrow....
... I'm sure it had to be kept secret for their own protection, at least until they're safely home and changed back into normal clothes.

Too easy to pick the girls out in a crowd by their costume, and if an opportunistic cretin was in costume too ... very risky.
