Should she or shouldn’t she? This question has not too much meaning on America and doesn’t really stir up a controversy. We all do it. We dress ourselves on a daily basis, picking the right outfit for the moment. What is appropriate and what is not appropriate is taken into consideration. However, when the weather is hot and the humidity is off the charts, there is no choice but to wear shorts to stay cool. We all wear them, whether we wear them in public or not, everyone has had shorts on at one point or another in their lives.
So can someone please explain to me why current headlines and news are so excited over the fact that the First Lady, Michelle Obama stepped out while vacationing at the Grand Canyon in Arizona, sporting of some shorts? Can I please get an answer as to why a poll taken shows that 16% of Americans think that that wardrobe was inappropriate for her to wear?
She was vacationing for one thing. On vacation she can wear what she wants. She is having family time. She wasn’t at a press conference she was vacationing. I am surprised she was wearing anything at all… the weather in New York is 90 degrees I can only imagine what it is like in Arizona.
I think that the reason that 16% say it is inappropriate is because she was showing “too much leg.” Which prompts another question, if she were at a beach; would she not be able to wear a swimsuit?
Modernmom.com said it perfectly, “All across the Internet, people are calling them "short shorts". Honestly, calling them short shorts is a bit of a stretch. The shorts in question actually seem to be more of a mid-thigh length.” There are shorts that come in all different lengths. The length of hers… appropriate. They could not be “short shorts.” They covered her very well all the way to mid-thigh. They showed no butt cheek, gave no camel-toe and definitely were not skin tight. She looked clean, cool and… under control.
I think that the First-family has more to worry about, like health care, that they don’t need us breathing down their backs about their shorts.
