I wonder: who dresses Barrack?

The dresses are small potatoes. Which costs more (including furnishings, upkeep, etc...) The White House or Buckingham Palace?

I digress from the original topic but I have been wondering...if the cut of TF suits is so popular why hasn't anyone replicated the cut at a cheaper price point?

Zegna Milano cut is pretty damn close and made by the same manufacturer using the same fabrics.

Michelle is a beast. Granted she looks less horrible in the op pic
than usual, but to suggest that she is anything other than ugly
is absurd.

I think airfare as well is payed for by the taxpayer as they're on government planes, you're not going to see them waiting in line for a United flight or anything.

Additionally, I wonder if she claims any of these expenses as tax deductions...

I couldn't care less about Ms. Obama's choice of tailor or how much her dresses cost; however, to my eye, the dress in the pic is ugly and very unflattering on her.
