Michelle Obama's Red Dress

Glory be at the state dinner for China's Hu Jintoa! Did you get a load of Michelle Obama's red dress? She was inside these incredible layers of bold, fuck- you- if- you- don't- like- it- screaming-red-dress that could have been previouly desired/owned by Areatha or Oprah. So here is another unintended consequences of the American Civil War-the poor casualties of North and South who died for nothing. Methinks the dress is much about getting even. During the Civil rights era, white peoples conspicuous consumption was highlighted and criticized by Dr. King and other southern black demagogues as examples of the false values of America's ruling elite and their disregard for blacks who were in need. But give this black a chance and lo and behold, she steals the spotlight from the honored guest with the conspicuously consumptive red dress.

President Obama tried to put the best face on the questionable dress choice. He was heard talking to Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, "Do you think Michelle looks too much like a Polish Jew?" Ah the kike and the darky refreshingly play at mock sophistication.
