From Politico.com, Ben Smith writes about an email the press received outlining a dress code for those journalists accompanying Obama on his visits to Jordan and Israel.

It is one thing to be “sensitive” to another culture, however, there are limits. The Obama campaign has reportedly sent Michelle back to the “kitchen”, the Drudge Report had a blurb on a NY Times story regarding Michelle and her stay at home status. After having survived a virtual make-over in order to look the part, Michelle is now being shoved into a closet in case she has anything relevant to say.
