I don't think everything she says has to be gone over with a fine tooth comb. So she says silly things now and again. First Lady is not an elected position and she doesn't seem to involve herself in policy like a Roslyn Carter. At least as far as I can tell. I am inclined to cut her a break.<br /><br />I just want her to wear clothes that I can sell in my store. I did really well out of that Donna Ricco she wore on the View. That dress body is very popular and a proven winner. She needs to wear some more of them because I just brought in a bunch of dresses for the spring and she would look great in them. Especially the Donna Ricco Collection which are gowns that are pricer but also dressier and a good choice for formal occasions. They don't have the status of a Michael Kors or a Tadashi but if she wears Donna Ricco Collection to a State dinner or two I would start printing money.
