This isn't world news. Put it back in the Style section.

I agree too. I looked at this first photo and wondered which of the two is really in charge?

I love that shot with Berlusconi. Both o f the Obamas look worried that he's about to do something rash.

LOL! President Obama looks like he's "talking through his teeth" like "I am not going there with you right now, Michelle.......now is not the time!!" LOL They are cute.

LOL Yes, that is the perfect "Hmmm....that's what YOU think.." look.

These pictures are beautiful. I am so proud of our first
couple President and . Mrs. Barack H Obama. Michelle is my
girl. The first photo is my favorite. His eyes are doing the talking
. LOL

they are such a refreshing couple & soooo normal like the rest of us. Just delightful & so proud of my city for doing a bang up job in hosting!

Yes, thank you Pittsburgh. Anyone who hosts the G20 nowadays ends up with some broken windows.

I love that "Don't start with me now, can't you see I'm busy" look. I have been on both sides of that expression many times in my life. I can almost imagine how the conversation went on the way back to the motel. They are a great couple. Behind every great man is a BETTER woman. Remember that Mr. President along with 'Yes dear', and your days will go well. Remember you are still outnumbered by the women in your life.

There are 22 women in that photo, not 20. The prettiest of them all is from a country not in the G 20. Ethiopian First Lady Azeb Meshfin, upper right hand corner.

I was wondering about that picture. Since Mr. Merkel of Germany is missing, there are 3 women too many.

"Appropriately," is subject to one's perception and perhaps (outdated) views.

No, actually "appropriately" is not subject to one's perception and perhaps (outdated) views in this case because we are talking about a First Lady who represents her country and is the hostess to boot and not just anybody who decides to wear an outfit. The comment was an observation and not intended to be "bitchy" as you claim - there is no need to be so defensive and rude.

We all know she has beautiful arms but there is a time and place for everything and she does dress inappropriately from time to time. Nobody is infallible and perfect as some of you who post comments seem to think when it comes to the Obamas. And no I am not an Obama hater but just a person who calls a spade a spade.

[GOPBossLimbaugh]

I think she dressed appropriately, and was elegant, graceful and gorgeous.

You are free to have your own opinions.

Whoever told you that your understanding of "appropriately" is subjective, was absolutely correct.

[SharonaMonk]

03:19 AM on 09/27/2009

You don't seem to get that what you have is an "opinion." There is no fact to this because everyone don't agree that you have to cover your arms to be "appropriate." I happen to agree that the belief that one has to dress like an old schoolmarm as the first lady is an outdated view.

Obama always has a look on his face like "I don't know what I am doing here"

Sour Grapes,
hungry for attention?

Sour grapes, sour, sour, sour grapes.

Carla Bruni is beautiful and elegant. Michelle always looks pissed off!

Yes, Carla is very gracious & I recently saw a special biography on her & she is quite a lady.

What is it with your First Lady - spaghetti straps - give me a break! Check out how appropriately the other First Ladies dressed, even Carla Bruni wore capped sleeves similar to dresses Jackie O used to wear. This right to "bare arms" is going a bit too far after all this time around she is the hostess - enough already.

Get a grip, or a life or something.

Don't you have anything else to b*tch about?

"Appropriately," is subject to one's perception and perhaps (outdated) views.

Maybe women should just keep their knees & ankles covered still. How about their faces?

Thank you.

Obama, Brown and Sarkozy looked as if they were hustling and deciding the next move in a football match.
