Lots of reaction on social media today to first ladys Michelle Obamas decision to leave her head still no word on the fate of two hostages held by isis. One is a jordanian pilot, the other a japanese journalist. Yesterday the terror group reportedly posted a video online saying the men had 24 hour left to live unless the mens countries were willing to meet demands. Today jordan agreed to a prisoner swap, but theres no sign of an actual agreement. Hundreds of comments on our Facebook Page today, most of them defending our first Lady Michelle obama. She decided to leave her head uncovered visiting saudi arabia after the death of king abdullah. Some people are convinced that the first lady was making a bold political statement in a country that is an ally but also one of the worlds most repressive regimes. A flowing blue top covered her arms, but Michelle Obamas head was uncovered in saudi arabia where women are allowed out in public only escorted by a male relative and most shield their faces and remain hidden behind black robes. Some saudis on twitter complained the first lady was immodest and at the airport some officials walked by without shaking her hand. The vast majority of the hundreds of comments on our Facebook Page defended her like mark bentley who said had she worn one, they would have eviscerated her for acting like a muslim instead of an american and at the food trucks near the state department a lot of people felt the same way. I am very tired of the second guessing. Shes our first lady. She knows what shes doing. I think shes very classy. I think it was completely appropriate of her. Reporter laura bush did try on a veil when she visited saudi arabia but mostly went uncovered, as did Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice once refused to don a black robe and veil given to her by king abdullah. In fact, western women are not generally expected to adopt saudi arabias strict dress code, but the contrast is it a reminder that one of americas closest allies in the middle east beheads people in a Public Square and sentenced a blogger to 10 years and 1,la000.
