Michelle Obama should have worn an American dress
An open letter to Michelle Obama:
I am writing to bring to your attention a matter that affects America. Twice you, Michelle Obama, have chosen Jason Wu as your dress designer. I take great offense to this as he is not an American citizen. No doubt the next day after such a prestigious event, everyone clambered to see if they could afford to look like our beloved "Michelle" in a Jason Wu dress, as well as bangs being back in fashion, you must realize you are influential and trend setting.
I wish you had selected an American designer and endorsed our work force and have America clamber to our stores to order American-made products.
In Washington on inaugural day, it was freezing all up and down the eastern seaboard. I would have cheered the loudest if you came out wearing Woolrich socks and announced in those socks you could last for hours! How wonderful it would have been to hear that all over the world people wanted Woolrich socks rather than Jason's predictable fabrics, patterns and designs.
Given the education issue in this country, couldn't you have asked any sewing guild or seamstress? Better yet, create the great challenge and present America with a challenge to design your dress. No doubt we would have knocked it out of the park.
I have a favorite dress and when my wedding was approaching, I asked a local seamstress to fabricate the exact dress in white finest silk. She not only copied perfectly, she charged $75.00 for labor! I can't tell you how many compliments I got and after countless explanations about the dress designer, I was forced to take the microphone and announce that the seamstress was local and reasonable. You overpaid, Michelle, for a moderately flattering dress.
Meanwhile, Jason Wu celebrates his foothold on fashion, and no doubt the poor seamstress in Old Lyme wishes more people would hire her. The bigger issue is I know and have seen the seamstress' neighbors. Can anyone say they know who Jason's neighbors are? His dual citizenship makes it difficult. (Canada, Thailand.)
Too many mistakes being let go, the Olympic team, same issue, fabricated outside the U.S. This Christmas I gave Russell Stover chocolates (American made). What did the White House serve? How will we ever recover if our leaders, our role models and our fiscal heads can't invest in our own?
Perhaps if you were more pro-America, your husband's loyalty and citizenship wouldn't be questioned so much. Just a thought while you are shopping for your next dress. The list of none-American purchases made by you and Barack is frightening and shameful.
God bless America is right, certainly you are not helping.

While I agree that Michelle should choose her clothing options more carefully, this is just a small part of a much larger problem created by her husband. It is painfully apparent that her husband wants nothing to do with improving our economy and is perfectly comfortable taking on social issues and diminishing traditional American values. The "big" issues for him this week are gay equality, banning guns and putting women into combat roles in the military. All of these agendas being plastered all over the media, covering up for his failed economic policies. Obama is just doing what he has experience in, which is being a community organizer, trying to make everybody and everything equal while giving great speeches to his supporters.
You cannot blame Michelle for her pick in clothing, as you see, she doesn't see anything wrong with this country's economy like her husband. This is what you get when you hire/elect a person to a position based on the color of their skin, and not their qualifications. He is the biggest fraud put upon this country in our history.
