PHOTO: Does anyone know what event this is from?

[Phx_Dem]

The photo looks familiar, but Michelle's dress does not. I'm wondering if it's been photoshopped.

Anyone remember the event?

[Drunken Irishman]

1. There is no question it's been photoshopped.

[Phx_Dem]

4. I think so too, but I can't find it online because I don't recall the

event. I could swear that photo is from a recent event and I DO NOT recall that dress.

Maybe Jackeens knows. She knows everything.

[Drunken Irishman]

7. You can kinda make out the real dress under it.

Looks like it has a flower pattern. Orange/red color.

16. It's so embarrassing that my family are such wingnut assholes.

:blush:

[tblue]

5. Yeah. She's got great taste. No way would she wear that. nt

[tridim]

9. Really BADLY photoshopped

The hem is blurry.

[valerief]

2. Michelle really shouldn't wear a bullseye dress in this political climate. nt

[polichick]

3. That's photoshopped. nt

6. I do believe it is from the inauguration speech

And yes its been photo shopped, badly.

[Phx_Dem]

11. Thanks that's helpful. I need to find the original photo so I can send to back

to my wingnut family. I'm irked that they send this to me saying Michelle looks like a pinata.

Thanksgiving's gonna be fun. Can't wait!!!!! :puke:

[rvablue]

18. And stick it to them

as you can see in this thread, the photo is from a ceremony to honor the troops.

Really, really poor taste for them to try to make fun during such a solemn and venerable event.

Sad. And frankly, don't know how you could sit through a meal with someone who thinks this is funny....

[NoSheep]

27. Don't wingnuts see the irony in their having to tell lies to make their point??

Oh yeah. They don't understand irony. I forgot.

8. I'm pretty sure it was photoshopped. Look at the straps on her shoulder,

the blurry edges, down on the hem on her right knee it looks like something else peeking through. It doesn't give credit to a photographer but says it was "created" by Mermaid4America.

[amandabeech]

32. Yes. The straps really give it away.

Michelle's "occasion" wardrobe is considerably more tasteful than this.

Just look at Jackeen's photos today of the Obamas at the classical guitar concert last night. Michelle wore a beautiful, tasteful and perfectly fitting winter white dress.

10. Badly photoshopped and the event was a Medal of Honor ceremony for

U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Jared C. Monti who was killed in Afghanistan in June 2006.

19. White House Paintball Tourney Day?

Or the fevered imagination of someone with bad photo editing skills.

[blogslut]

21. Oh so very photoshopped

The dress, the first couple, shopped, shopped, shopped.

[rebel with a cause]

22. I'm sorry but I would not be a part of a family who would send me

this picture knowing that I was an Obama supporter.

I had a relative/friend send me a erroneous pro-bush email in 2007 and even then I sent them a message that I loved them too much to let them live under the assumption that I agreed with them. I had never sent them anything anti-bush because I knew they were republican as they knew I was liberal. Anyway, the results are that I have not heard from them since. Too bad but I am fine without them.

[Hutzpa]

24. You where able to come up

with all of that from that one photo? amazing.

[Phx_Dem]

26. Yeah, very classy of them. I was so pissed. And still am.

[LaydeeBug]

23. Guys, you are AWESOME.

I love seeing threads where someone gets to stick it to their reich wing family members. I can't tell you how much it warms my heart. }(

edit to fix the smilie. :hi:

[Hutzpa]

25. I am actually amazed

at folks who have these so called relatives that keeps sending them photos, emails
and drama narration on how they feel about the first family.

[Phx_Dem]

28. I'm amazed too Hutzpa, and they were my relatives. I was

offended and found it to be extremely rude and insensitive. What ever happened to familial respect? During eight long years of the Bush nightmare, I never did anything like that to them or talked about Bush during family gatherings, let alone Laura. I guess that's the difference between Dems and wingnuts.

I love my family, but that pissed me off.

[NoSheep]

34. just think...we get to spend our holidays with such families...

I have one as well (half of them at least) but all they have is mouth. don't know jack shit from photoshop.

[Phx_Dem]
