As millions of Americans worry about losing their jobs, the first lady is celebrated on the cover of Wintour’s magazine, Vogue, where it is suggested that her 'ardent championing of new names in American design' has caused some to call her the 'new Jackie Kennedy.'

Why not Nancy Reagan? Mrs. Reagan's husband also took office amid an inherited economic crisis, and she quickly became the subject of sometimes bitter criticism for her fondness for high fashion — for 'exercising her opulent tastes in an economy that is inflicting hardship on so many,' in the words of a 1981 New York Times article.

Insulting tio every American who is suffering through these hard economic times. But then why should MicHELL Obama care, we are just peasants anyway, put here to provide for her.
