PHOTO: Does anyone know what event this is from?
The photo looks familiar, but Michelle's dress does not. I'm wondering if it's been photoshopped.

Anyone remember the event?

4. I think so too, but I can't find it online because I don't recall the
event. I could swear that photo is from a recent event and I DO NOT recall that dress.

Maybe Jackeens knows. She knows everything.

7. You can kinda make out the real dress under it.
Looks like it has a flower pattern. Orange/red color.

18. And stick it to them
as you can see in this thread, the photo is from a ceremony to honor the troops.

Really, really poor taste for them to try to make fun during such a solemn and venerable event.

Sad. And frankly, don't know how you could sit through a meal with someone who thinks this is funny....

8. I'm pretty sure it was photoshopped. Look at the straps on her shoulder,
the blurry edges, down on the hem on her right knee it looks like something else peeking through. It doesn't give credit to a photographer but says it was "created" by Mermaid4America.

32. Yes. The straps really give it away.
Michelle's "occasion" wardrobe is considerably more tasteful than this.

Just look at Jackeen's photos today of the Obamas at the classical guitar concert last night. Michelle wore a beautiful, tasteful and perfectly fitting winter white dress.

Edited on Tue Nov-03-09 09:08 PM by rebel with a cause
this picture knowing that I was an Obama supporter.

I had a relative/friend send me a erroneous pro-bush email in 2007 and even then I sent them a message that I loved them too much to let them live under the assumption that I agreed with them. I had never sent them anything anti-bush because I knew they were republican as they knew I was liberal. Anyway, the results are that I have not heard from them since. Too bad but I am fine without them.

at folks who have these so called relatives that keeps sending them photos, emails
and drama narration on how they feel about the first family.

Edited on Wed Nov-04-09 06:16 PM by Phx_Dem
offended and found it to be extremely rude and insensitive. What ever happened to familial respect? During eight long years of the Bush nightmare, I never did anything like that to them or talked about Bush during family gatherings, let alone Laura. I guess that's the difference between Dems and wingnuts.

I love my family, but that pissed me off.
