I continue in my dislike of the dress. It looks like one of those tufted chenille spreads my grandmother kept on the guest bed.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Closer look at the dress now at the next ball. I know the fabric is not the same, but it reminds me of a white cotton bedspread I had at one time. She looks lovely. Dance the night away Obamas. I hope you wore comfy shoes.

Are there men on jumpy stilts on my teevee at the ball, or am I crazy. Also, how is this a ball, and not a concert?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I'm afraid the First Lady's dress looks a little junior high to me, with all the foofaraw.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I also did not like Michelle Obama's dress. The fabric was unflatteringly lumpy, and it was way too long (she was stepping on the front while they were dancing).

Yes, I think he must have been turned toward Cheney in that one.
