The mainstream media went into a tailspin last week when they saw first lady Melania Trump in leaving to visit the victims of Hurricane Harvey in high heels. Of course she changed into sensible sneakers when she arrived in Houston.

No doubt they’ll go off on her again as she once again donned heels for a second trip with the president to visit the storm victims.

Meanwhile, as tens of thousands of Americans suffer the ravages of the floods, Barry and Michelle Obama are enjoying a luxury holiday away from it all on a yacht off Mallorca in Spain.

Instead of being criticized for a seeming callous disregard for the plight of the “little people” the media revels in their Kardashianess excess and goes all googly-eyed over Michelle Obama’s flash of thigh.

Entertainment site TMZ gushes, (per BizPac Revew) In an article entitled “Michelle Obama: Yacht Know How I Roll,” TMZ is “jelly as hell” over former First Lady Michelle Obama’s “SICK” Mallorca, Spain yacht cruise to visit an American diplomat and his partner.
After the meeting, “a ball was had by all” on board the same yacht.

According to the writer: “The Obamas knew how to do just about everything right in their time at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. … and they’re slaying again as private citizens. They’ve been just about everywhere, too — Indonesia, Bali, and Tuscany, just to name a few.”

Photos were taken by Splash News and shared in articles with headlines like: “Michelle Obama shows off toned legs in Mallorca” and “We Never Thought We’d See Michelle Obama in a High-Slit Dress on a Yacht.”

We hoped we’d never have to see Michelle Obama in a high-slit dress anywhere frankly.

But here’s an interesting tidbit.

When Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey in 2012, Barry visited (for a bromance with Chris Christie) but Michelle did not.

Yet when Harvey hit Texas, Melania was there with her husband and trashed by the left simply for wearing high heels when boarding Air Force One.

Funny how that works.
