Yes she is on vacation BUT she still represents the USA 24/7. Enough with the shorts and sneakers....the First Lady should be dressed appropriately at all times. She could have worn lightweight long pants.
Next the President is going to be adopting the business casual look for meetings with other heads of state.
But shes' still a regular person, and I know I'd want to wear shorts on a hot, hot day on vacation. I don't think she should have to look better than us at all times. Vacation should be her time, not ours.
Didn't they fly air force one to their vacation spots?
Seems to me if you know the press will be there you might want to dress a little nicer which you can do with summer clothing
I actually agree with this. Getting off of Air Force One, I expect her to be better dressed than this. If they snapped her photo hiking the Grand Canyon, or doing something while on vacation, then I would say this attire is appropriate.
ETA - I feel pretty confident in saying they would criticize any first Lady for this attire, they aren't picking on Michelle Obama.

Re: Oh please! The Today Show really has a segment on Michelle Obama in shorts.
this is out of effing control ridiculous.
first of all, THANK GOD she is NOT a true "representative" of the US, or else she should be wearing a big asss baggy Budweiser tshirt with capris and be about 40 lbs overweight.
second of all, the PRESIDENT MUST FLY AIR FORCE ONE AT ALL TIMES (or Marine ONE) any flying machine he goes on BECOMES AFone if for whatever reason the real deal is not available.
I HOPE this is the new image of the US...a STRONG working woman who takes care of HERSELF and HER family and cares MORE about DOING than the PRETENSES.
absolutely LUDICROUS. some of the crap being said makes me want to vomit. sad sad sad people.
ETA: when I go on beach vacations, I change into my bikini and put sunscreen on in the airplane bathroom b/c I like to arrive at my destination prepared.
should she have gotten off the plane in a skirt suit and changed in the Porta Potty at the rim? would that have made everyone happy????????????????

Re: Oh please! The Today Show really has a segment on Michelle Obama in shorts.
Hey shouldn't this be on the fashion board or celebrity board  JK
I do think she looks sloppy for coming off Air Force One and she should look nicer, but then again, I am not really a fan of any of her fashions.

Re: Oh please! The Today Show really has a segment on Michelle Obama in shorts.
do i think she should be wearing shorts? nope.
do i think i should even KNOW she was wearing shorts, that it should be a debate, or an issue? nope.
but then again, i come from the first generation in my family to wear PANTS, so obviously I am going to have a different opinion LOL

Best comment of the day!
And I agree- what should she be wearing to tour the Grand Canyon? A business suit?

I can't believe this is even a debate. 
This is just a progression of our government into modern terms...
When Kennedy was elected people were up in arms because he was ***GASP*** CATHOLIC!!!
 that's like being a pagan.
this topic is beyond ridiculous. and since when is being the first lady a JOB? she's a mom and a wife. is she even employed? does she make a salary?
and since when does anyone give a flipping fluck what the prez or the first lady wears on vacation? sheesh. next we'll be criticizing their choice of toothpaste because it doesn't have enough fluoride in it.

Here's Barack Obama wearing jeans coming off air force one when he landed in St. Louis to throw the first pitch of the all star game.
No one said anything about this.

I'm sure they aren't paying the gov back for use of the plane so that puts them on clock.
It's a little something called "de minimus use." The family was traveling with POTUS as he was doing official trips. It cost no more to fly FLOTUS or the two daughters with them than it would have otherwise. How is this any different than FPOTUS GWB taking his family to the Olympics in Athens Greece? It's not.
And while yes, when you are POTUS or FLOTUS, there is going to be a camera present at all times, but the issue here should really be this:
Why is a major news network (whether or not it is on their entertainment morning show) devoting time to a story about what the FLOTUS is wearing on "personal time" when there are wars in which our country is fighting, a major election occurring tomorrow in a land in turmoil (Afghanistan), a vaccine is being released and tested on a deadly flu virus, or any other NEWSWORTHY topic??

They have to fly in a secured manner. The first family has to be protected. I think there is nothing wrong with this. She's not meeting with the heads of state..she's on vacation with her family. She's human not a robot. I've been to the canyon in the summer...no way would any more clothing be appropriate.
I'm sure they aren't paying the gov back for use of the plane so that puts them on clock.
She just looks sloppy, I think plenty of women manage to look better in shorts in the summer.
I'm thinking you're not a fan of her or the President which is fine. As others have stated, the have to fly AF1. Should they fly commercial? I wouldn't want to be on that plane.
Those are the appropriate shorts for the Grand Canyon. Ever been?

What? No shorts on the first lady???
We visited the Kennedy museum in Hyannis and they had loads of vacation photos of Jackie Kennedy wearing shorts. These were two I could find taken in the late 1950s. Image Attachment(s):

this is just further proof that the democrats are unkempt, informal, people improperly representing the US while simulatenously turning us into a socialist country.

Re: Oh please! The Today Show really has a segment on Michelle Obama in shorts.
Really?? I mean, REALLY!??!!
I'm staring at that picture trying to figure out what exactly is inappropriate about her outfit. I actually give her credit for covering her shoulders with that shirt over her tank top; so I think she DID take getting off of AF1 and being photographed as the First Lady into consideration.
IMO it's endearing to see the first family dressed comfortably and being casual. I think it's an excellent represention of our country at one of our largest national parks.
