Michelle Obama Shops Cheap But Defends Sarah Palin

Posted by Sassy Smith

 

 

Michelle Obama appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno Monday evening and the chat lead to clothes - Michelle sure doesn't have a $150,000 clothing allowance (but she looked lovely)!  She and her family shop on the thrifty side.  Mrs. Obama said, "Actually, this is a J. Crew ensemble.  You can get some good stuff online!"  Oh yes you can, so right.  And Michelle, always the classy lady, actually defended Sarah Palin...

Video after the jump!

Michelle said that she and Barack, spend their own money on their clothes, and when the talk turned to the outrageous amount that Sarah Palin spent on her wardrobe, Michelle took the high road.

"A V.P. pic, it's like being shot out of a cannon.  All of a sudden you're at the center of attention, and you want to look good.  You're living in your home, minding your business, and all of a sudden you're on the national stage and everyone's watching."

She really is a class act.

Classy indeed. And stylish. And thrifty. That woman has been who I want to be when I grow up ever since I've heard her speak at the Dem. convention in August.

i dont believe for a second that ms obama always shops thrifty.  please.  she is extremely wealthy.  what is she saving the money for?  and so what if she doesnt? are you just looking for a reason to put down palin because you dont like her political party? or because you dont like her sex?  shes got to put her best foot forward.  i dont think theres anything wrong with her spending money on clothes.

and i cant believe barack obama bought clothes off the rack while he was campaigning.  this is unbelieveable.

We shouldn't be comparing Michelle's budget to Sarah's any more than we should compare Barrack's budget to the first dude's...Can any one get that Sarah was running for office, not the wife of the politician? Please try for a moment to remove your partisan feelings.  And J.Crew isn't exactly affordable for about 95% of the country. Thrifty, my ass.

just because she doesn't wear designer clothes everyday does not mean that Michelle doesn't know how to dress.  I don't wear designer clothes, but I have style and get compliments all the time.  Michelle is her own person and sets her own style, be it designer or J Crew, the lady is classy.  Bet a whole lot of women will be trying to look like Michelle in  a J Crew outfit.
