Photos: The first lady shops at Target

Wow...talk about sour grapes.

I really have never understood the constant criticism of her...if she wears J Crew she is accused of not dressing like a first lady....if she wears Dior she is accused of what? You tell me hoot owl
Since she must pay for her own clothes,what's your beef? What a petty post Hoot Owl
..I don't even want to think about the reason behind such thoughts. You post like you think she doesn't deserve the same perks other First Ladies have enjoyed.

Another shot...



A source tells PEOPLE that Obama "picked up dog food and toys for Bo," among other undisclosed items.

No I am not arguing against educating your children, but the three RRR's may be more important at their age than traveling to diplomatic events. I am sure they have impeccable manners, if they are allowed to go to the dinners. My guess is that they are at the hotel with the the nanny. Living the life.

As for Archer, Michelle Obama does not resemble ordinary middle class life in any way. That is what I am, her life does not resemble mine. I shop at Target, but that does not make us equals. Costco has better towels, soft, fluffy, and also made in China

Yeah, well it's really hard to live an actual middle class life when your residence is the White House and your husband is the president. In spite of that I think she has done well to keep both herself and her kids grounded. You don't think so, fine. With many no matter what she does, or doesn't do....they will not be happy. First Ladies used to be off limits for harsh criticism, until Hillary, and she sure got her share of it......then there was Laura, and never a harsh word was spoken about her....then came Michelle, and rarely is anything nice said about her. See a trend here? I guess liberals have better manners when it comes to the treatment of the First Lady of the United States than conservatives do.

Don't see an issue here, she wanted to get out and do normal stuff. Maybe get away. Got alot more serious issues going in this country than the first lady going shopping at target

petty post ?

How many are on her staff? You are not making sense .She has every right to shop where she wants. Wear what she wants. I agree. However she should not receive attention for doing normal everyday crap you and I do.
Just a bit disingenuious of you my dear, since you have posted that you will not be voting for the Obama regime in 2012. Pick a side, I am getting dizzy.
Michelle Obama is just fine in my book. She is just in a league of her own.

Kinda looks like the papastalky's invaded her little get away jaunt.
Doesn't look to pleased with the pics.

Too bad she probably wanted to feel as if she could have a day out without them.

There is no middle class in the White House, we will watch how grounded they all are. A lot was said about Lady Bird and Betty Ford,

Really? I said that......wow, I must be posting in my sleep, or my evil twin has taken over the computer. Or maybe you read what you want to read. What I have said is please, give me an alternate candidate I can vote for....and so far all the Republicans have come up with is the current set of clowns, who are falling all over them selves to please the Tea Party. No I will not be voting for any of them. So Obama it is, the much lesser of many evils.

Brings to mind a campaign slogan. "Hope and change" Worked for her, how is it working for you?
