How much did Michelle Obama's dress cost that she wore to the Inauguration?

Actually, it varies. Michelle Obama has had some designers create special gowns for the formal dinners she has to attend (and yes, these gowns would be expensive if she had to buy them, but designers love to have famous people model their clothes); however, in addition to getting clothes from fashion designers, she also buys some of her dresses from places like the Gap and Target, at a cost of perhaps $60-$80 each. She is known for being very down-to-earth and does not like to dress formally if she doesn't have to. And she will wear an outfit she likes on other occasions, rather than asking designers to keep coming up with new outfits; she changes it around with accessories, like wearing different jewelry or a different sweater. Some reports say that her high-fashion dresses would retail at about $350-$500 if you bought them in a store.

What was Adam's Weakness?

In everything I have read about him it seems he was a stubborn man and rather obsessive about many things. It is obvious he loved his wife and children, but when she wrote him about what to do if the British came through their area while he was away fighting for independence he wrote back that she and the children should go hide in the woods. I think that is a bit weak. He firmly believed in the Federalist position and when he signed the Alien and Sedition Acts he was trying to keep opponents quiet and to "get rid" of people ( mainly French immigrants) he saw as a problem. It was his wife that gave him balance and would convince him that he needed to step back a bit from a position he had taken and wouldn't move from. I would count his stubborn nature his main weakness.

The fact that he followed George Washington hurt him. Unlike Washington, he was short and fat and did not look like a President. However, he demanded to be treated like royalty and this annoyed people around him.

Who first taught principle that Black is beautiful?

The phrase "Black is Beautiful" first came from the 1960s writings of Steve Biko, of South Africa, who was part of the "Black Consciousness Movement". In his book, 'I Write What I Like', Mr. Biko explained the meaning behind his slogan as this: "man, you are okay as you are, begin to look upon yourself as a human being."

The politics of the Black Panthers and the sermons of Malcolm X made the expression more widely known in the USA, and most people wrongly attribute the quote to Malcolm X.

"Black is Beautiful" was a rallying cry, a movement against the idea that Blacks have less attractive or desirable characteristics and to discourage changing the natural African features. The slogan intended to discourage people from feeling they needed to change by:

  • bleaching/whitening their skin
  • straightening their hair
  • having plastic surgery to make a narrower nose

The slogan was meant to create self pride and pride within the race, so people (especially girls and women) did not continue to feel they needed to alter their physical being just to fit in. They called this an internalized racism that Blacks carried inside and needed to end.

Is it true Michelle Obama is overspending your dollars?

No, it is not true. Actually, this is a political claim, and both sides make it-- especially in election years. The claim that Michelle Obama is overspending was similar to one made against other first ladies, including Nancy Reagan, Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton. In all cases, there is not much evidence to support it, but it gets partisans on both sides very motivated, even if the claims are generally exaggerated.
