her actions are very consistent with fascists! they want two classes of people in our country - aristocracy and working - and that line can NEVER be crossed. hollywood, academia, politbureau, and the super rich who supported them in the top class and the rest of us in another. and rules - laws and social expectations - NEVER apply to aristocracy - only the rest of us. you wanted hope and change - well you got it! hope you enjoy your newfound serfdom!

She has an education and has worked hard....she can buy whatever shoes she wants! The media should shut up...I doubt that anyone in those food lines would know they are designer shoes (I didn't-PAYLESS makes cute tennis shoes too!).

Shara Paulin??? LMAO Did you mean Sarah Palin? She's over and irrelevent and besides Sarah wears dead animals she kills with her bare hands. Unless it's the RNC paying for it, then its onto Saks and Neimans.

She should put her money where her mouth is! Donate that money to charity!

The difference is the RNC didn't BUY THEM!!! I bet you that!!! MRS. OBAMA could AFFORD this type of stuff because she was EDUCATED and PROFESSIONAL LOOONG BEFORE THE WHITEHOUSE!!!! SARAH'S STUFF WAS PURCHASED WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY YA HILLBILLY!!!

Miriam, While she may have an education she does NOT HAVE any common sense, empathy, or even decent manners. To wear shoes that cost $540.00 or more to a food bank where God only knows how many people were standing in line (their dignity) in their out stretched hands is beyond thoughtless, or rude...it was just plain mean and stupid beyond words! Then again that's the Obama's for you; they haven't got a single clue what it's like to be in "our" shoes; no pun intended. You're right PayLess does have some cute shoes, and that's where the First Lady (not that she qualifies as a lady) should get her tennis shoes; especially if she's wearing them to a food bank; where people are hoping to get a small sack of groceries and wondering where they will get more when those run out in a day or two. Too bad you cannot buy class; she's in desperate need of some.

They were probably given to her just like they do celebrities because now everyone will have to have a pair.

They look good to me. Quit hating and buy your girl one of my great products. She will love you for mothers day!

Evita Peron had fashion sense too. Let's hear it for the rainbow tour lol

I am sick of all the hoopla about this First Lady who has not a clue about dressing. Don't know who her advisors are, on appropriate wardrobe, but they certainly are missing the mark. She is one of the worst dressed, in my opinion and has a body that is not easy to fit and most clothes don't look well on her. And what is with those too tight cardigans?

Forget her moderate priced dressing. Sounded good, but noone should have bought into that. All good fodder for the press.

'She should donate that money to charity'--for all you know, she did. Wearing expensive shoes doesn't automatically mean that you are selfish. What is she supposed to do, spend all of her money on donations and never buy herself something expensive? If you had money, you'd give it all away without splurging on anything for yourself? Quite noble. She's at a food bank, for a good cause--looks like she's balancing herself out pretty well to me. It's the feet in the $540 shoes that don't find themselves at food banks that concern me more--and I'm sure there are plenty of them. Michele Obama should be praised for what she is doing, not criticized for what she is wearing. What a better place the world would be if we respected the good in people instead of emphasizing what we perceive to be 'bad'.

Your soooo right. I'm sure she didn't give it a thought to wear those ridiculously overpriced SNEAKERS for G-d's sake. I have the money to spend on those same sneakers but wouldn't be shallow enough to buy them no matter how much money I have. There's something called "good taste" Miss Hateful Obama.
In addition, I guess she HATED America until she became 1st lady, was able to have her mommy live at the White House at the Taxpayer's expense and have her kids go to the DC private school instead of the local school the Obama's soooo pretended to be interested in.
Money and pretiege doesn't make a person classy!!!

my guess is this was stimulus money to help the high fashion industry sell shoes we all cant afford....just trillions under, guys but no one cares

Spoken like a true homie. God help us all if a GOP had them on, but the number two neck wager, now dats o-tay!

To all the Libs saying it's nobody's business what Michelle Obama wears, I'm sure that if it was Sarah Palin or Laura Bush instead, you'd all be outraged about it.

You Libs are so predictable.

would you say the same if it were Sarah Palin
