If somebody talks about the nation needing to sacrifice they shouldn't wear anything deemed expensive
Basically. Because that's a person asking people to tighten their belts and save money while she splurges on unnecessary things. I can't think of any defense for her, since her expensive shits are all fashion-related. (I crossed out "deemed" because you're making it seem like it's just the people subjectively categorizing her splurges as expensive.)
So you feel previous first ladies were for people not saving money? And what did Michelle Obama say exactly? I know she's an advocate for better nutrition but I don't see where she said people couldn't have expensive things.
I also removed the "any trips" because the frequent vacation trips, I believe, are not mentioned anywhere on this thread, and are actually being panned for a different reason (last I read was because it happened while Obama should be busy dealing with other more important aspects of his job)
Wondy mentioned them so I included it. Obama has taken less vacation than the previous president yet partisans like WB and Bsams didn't have a problem with that. I guess I'm seeing a double standard on their part there.
I don't think I belong in the RKMBs republicans or conservatives or whatever the anti-MEM side is called, but I think it's safe to say that "Practice what you preach" is a really good standard to follow.

The anti-mem stuff is silly but I would agree with you about the "Practice what you preach" standard.
