I Like ItI Don’t Like It

When President Obama attended a tree-planting ceremony in Washington on Tuesday, he made the mistake of wearing dress shoes to work in the mud, a decision he appeared to regret. Michelle, meanwhile, wore rubber galoshes befitting of the occasion. See photos below.

They ALL have white gloves. I think those are waterproof, by the way.

Obviously you don't garden -- they look like a pair of kid skin gardening gloves that I use and love! Now troll, you can go back under your bridge!

I admire the Obamas so much!!! I love all four of them! I really can't stand the new dog, though. I'll bet the Prez and the First Lady don't really like it that much either. They should have gotten a couple corgies.

Why should he worry about a little mud? I'm sure he'll just throw that pair away and buy a new pair with all the money he receives from being a shill for Wall Street.

For the record, Michelle is wearing wellingtons, not galoshes. Galoshes are huge, cumbersome boots that fit over street shoes and make you look like Frankenstein's monster. "Wellies" are what the Windsors wear at Balmoral and smartly dressed gardeners, farmers and hunters wear the world over.

Huffington Post: Please before you put up these stupid articles, do some dang research. He said in the video that someone forgot his shoes. Now you have to commend him for working eventhough he didn't have his shoes.

For Sure, If Rich White Man's shoe on the MUD
He yelled,"Mud on the @&% $1,000 Shoe"
Obama said, "Oh Well, that's happen, I'm sure My wife always warned me, she is right"

I think reminding the Pres about the proper shoes would fall to "body man" Reggie Love not Michelle.

Yep. I think he did not want to mention Reggie Love by name on the C-Span video but that is who would be responsible for bring the rubber boots or someone else on the staff. I would not be Michelle's job to remember them.

Okay, you squeeze the Prez's booty, I'll squeeze the First Lady's booty, then we both will haul ass together! You bettah keep up, though... I ain't stopping to help if you fall behind while Michelle is hot on yo' tail!
