Michelle Obama’s dumb luck

Sep. 30, 2011 10:47am Meredith Jessup

Our First Lady has sooome luck. Not only is her hubby the leader of the free world, but just as the Obama camps is desperately looking for a way to relate to America’s Average Joes, a staff photographer with the Associated Press just so happened to be there to document her recent Target shopping jaunt:

What luck! Obama also wasn’t snapped without make-up, with messy hair wearing sweatpants to do her “everywoman” shopping… like some of us who will remain nameless.

Exit question: I could see a quick stop in at the local Target store as something that might happen out on the campaign trail. But who really believes Michelle Obama left the White House to pop in at the Alexandria, Va., Target because the East Wing ran out of paper towels?

What do you think Michelle was shopping for? Let us know in the comments!

It’s really sad that people fall for these obvious publicity stunts. They only get away with stuff like this because we let them. They think were stupid and from the looks of things across the web about this. We are!

Haha – just noticed a BIG slip-up. Notice she’s carrying those single-use environment-destroying, produced-from-big-oil-sea-creature-strangling plastic bags instead of the progressive “multi-use” canvas / straw tote? Someone should make sure these photos find their way to the sierra club.

After reading all the comments, I scrolled back up to look and the picture again, and everything about this whole shopping at Target thing looks so out of context. I bet it was photo-shopped out by her garden! Or remember the old movies when they would be sitting in a car and the same “scenery” would pass by….over and over again?? Hmmm…wonder how many people it took the walk the Target check-out isles back and forth…….just sayin’

Sorry it took me so long to respond to the survey. I was making sure my stock purchase for Massengil went through.

Hopefully she was shopping for a blouse rather than the shower curtain she’s wearing. Who dresses this woman anyway?

These people know no shame, do they? Are we to believe that Michelle Obama (who has been on vacation for the past three years STRAIGHT) is frugal and typically shops at Target?

Daryl Issa, please find out how much Target is donating to the DNC for this photo-op.

  Nope. Not peas in her bag. Depends adult diapers. Her and the mister have crapped on America, our Constitution, the family, Christian morality, and the economy so much, now they cant stop crapping their own pants. Obama stinks. Change him ;) oh, “hi!” to the federal reserve CIA agents that might be monitoring. What? You all didnt see the reporting by the MSM that the FED is creating a domestic spy arm? Yyyyup. You heard it first from the saint.

  Haven’t you heard what happened to Ford Motor Company when they stepped out of line? Walmart is already on the Left’s short list. Surely they don’t want to attract the attention of Obummer’s Schutzstaffel.

Michelle Obama shopping at non-unionized Target instead of unionized Wal Mart? She should be crucified by the left and not showing support for Target’s unethical, corrupt, deep discount competitor.

Of course she’s shopping for votes. She’s trying her best to make people think they are just like us! The amazing thing about all of it is that they truly believe we are that stupid!!! Like Marie Antoinette said LET THE EAT CAKE!!! I personally am tired of all the threats they and their minions keep spouting. I say BRING IT YOU COWARDS!!!!

Am I the only one who thinks Mszzzzz O dressed as a parody of an “average Target shopper”? I mean, is this REALLY how she thinks normal people dress? It also looks like the clothes she is wearing have never been worn before. This should serve as an insult to Target shoppers – that our Queen is so far removed from the reality of us peasants that this is the closest she could get to understanding our culture and dress? Wow!

  If you didn’t notice, the first lady had someone conveniently dressed much like her in the background of one of those ‘candid’ photos. That MUST be the way ‘normal’ people dress.
  
  Given security that the Obama’s have demanded in the past, and which we as a nation provide the presidential family, the chances that this was ‘candid’ and ‘unplanned’ are ZERO. Anyone in the background of any shots are hand-picked to be allowed that close to the first lady, and I am honestly surprised that she didn’t take Marine One.
  
  …wait, did she?

Looks like she left her diamond cuffs at home. I do that too when I go to Target on a sudden impulse trip in my black limousine with my Secret Service guards and 30 reporters trailing behind like obedient little puppy dogs. Kinda annoys the other shoppers tho’ when I take up the entire parking lot, but hey, that’s their problem. Those Americans need to toughen up anyway. Like hubby says, they’ve gotten too soft.

I’m just so shocked that she would use such hate-filled rhetoric as to shop at TARGET. I remember… hate-filled… things like this from the 1970s… and it just affects me so.

  You’re darn straight she did…and Michelle Obama’s EBT card knows no limit. Our grandchildren will be paying the interest on it.

She should have brought an “average Joe” with her. They could have told her that you’re supposed to put your bags IN the cart. You’re not pushing the cart for decoration when you go shopping, DUH!

Personally, I’m a Walmart shopper and I’m so glad I won’t be running into the FLOTUS since she isn’t the Walmart type.

She was buying “pads and plugs”. There’s some things even secret service men won’t do.
