Alright we love the first family but did the AP photographer just happen to be in the Target taking pictures? You know those Tea Party jokers are going crazy over this (don’t ask me why). BMWK family, is this real or staged? Tell us what you think!

Where is her secret service detail?
Ernestine Dunbar says
It’s staged…She never comes out looking less than a million dollars…and there are ALWAYS photographers around them…You best believe…her Secret Service detail is right there with her… I’m fine with her shopping in Target but did she have to try to ‘fit in’:-)?

I live in the dc area and saw Malia, Sasha and their grandma shopping at the Potomac Yard Target about 2 years ago at Christmas. Their SS agents were there but they are plain clothed so they don’t stand out. I guess the first family must love Target ….. Me too!
Sab says
THIS WAS NOT STAGED!! COME ON PEOPLE!! Photographers are ALWAYS TIPPED OFF!! She was trying to be incognito! SHEESH!!
Nsh820 says
Real…CNN reported on this as well. FLOTUS is just like us…
Pat says
Goodness gracious! If she dresses like a million bucks, someone will get upset that she’s not representing the regular people.
If she dresses like a regular person, some one gets upset that she’s just pretending and it’s staged.
She can’t catch a break!
Let’s go back to our own lives now.

Ask yourself this question: Would the person, that did not want to wait 4 more hours, to fly with her husband to get to their vacation (costing tax payers tens of thousands of dollars), be the same person who wants to save a couple of bucks at Target ? Answer:… surprisingly yes……she probably shops there all the time………so why the AP photographer…. now? To fix her image; as arrogant, haughty, and not in touch with the people. (ie..the Martha’s vineyard trip ,Hawaii trip expenses, Africa trip etc. etc )
Yes, it was staged..
But not for the reasons you might think.
It’s not meant to change my opinion or impression of her (anyone, with any amount of deductive reasoning, can come to the conclusion that this looks, at minimum…. fishy)
It’s for her base of supporters, who have started to question the Obamas (see Obama’s poll numbers plummeting) that this is aimed. It really speaks to how gullible the Obama’s think of their own supporters.

First of all I think this is great! Second I can never understand why this is a big deal. It’s not like this is a stretch from who she has been all along. She never tried to act as if she was above shopping at Banana Republic or other retailers so why does it have to be stagged?? I agree with SAB I don’t believe it’s stagged, yes I’m sure that her security detail was somewhere and how does anyone know that it was a true AP photographer there or did someone else snap the pic and sell it?

Good for you first Lady!!!

It was reported that her security detail scouted an hour before she arrived — and the secret service detail was in the parking lot (and you can rest assured there were some in the store, too). I don’t believe this was staged at all — but any photog in this area who’s worth his/her salt is gonna have an eagle eye for anything that remotely looks like it’s connected to the First Family. This particular time, it paid off.

I knew she was a smart lady

(@Atlantaman)…Or it could be that you are just way over thinking the whole thing…sheesh. Deductive reasoning? Seriously? You think I need to use deductive reason for a Michelle Obama trip to Target? It’s Target for God’s sake and I’d rather use my deductive reasoning on something that actually matters. If I was gonna vote for him again it wouldn’t be because I saw her shopping at Target…as Pat said, can we please get back to our regurlarly scheduled lives?!

I never even knew the first lady was allowed to go shopping out in public like that. Glad to see she likes “TARJAY” though lol!
