Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you’re having a lovely vacation. Because I’m not actually on vacation. Unless you consider drinking coconut coffee from the Keurig while I work in my office a vacation. Because I don’t. At any rate, I saved the US taxpayers nearly $4 million by not being First Lady and flying off for a 17-day vacation in Hawaii on the taxpayers dime. You can thank me later.
Michelle Obama, noted supporter of the 99% and champion of the poor, on the other hand, is reportedly draining taxpayer funds to finance a massive year-end festival of relaxation on the sunny shores of Oahu while the rest of us slave away so that we aren’t unemployed come her husband’s fourth year as President.
And don’t think she’s dressing like a regular tourist while she’s there, either, you peons. As she accompanied Barack and family to church services on the Kaneohe Bay Marine Base on Sunday, Michelle sported a Resort Collection Sophie Theallet sundress (thumbnail), which, at the time it was purchased in late 2009, cost between $1K and $2K. Similar dresses from the Resort 2012 collection sell for that much and more.
But fear not, oh children of the proletariat. Should you like to dress like the First Lady, but fear having to go on food stamps after wasting your entire unemployment check on a sundress, you can rent a Sophie Theallet dress from internet retailer Rent the Runway (you have to give it back), for around $125. 
You might, however, be able to cash in your monthly allotment for her bargain basement skirt.
In this ubiquitous politician-phot0-with-a-baby-on-Christmas (ever more important considering that Barack can magically speak to babies), Michelle Obama is sporting a Comme des Garcons, 3/4 length printed skirt with a bag waist. This skirt is typical for CdG, and can retail anywhere for up to $1K, with similar items for sale at SSense – an internet designer outlet – for $450 (down from a peak of $950). Or, if you’re like me and can occasionally shop in the kids department because you were born without any shape whatsoever, you can snag a similar skirt from Comme des Garcons kids collection for $495 new. Unfortunately, since the skirts are limited edition and only available to busy and important people, you’ll have to pre-order yours for delivery in March.
It will however, look better on someone who isn’t drawing the waist of the skirt up to the bottom of their boobs. And frugal fashionistas can obviously thank Al Gore for saving us from global warming, thus allowing them to wear their extravagant purchase year round.
And, come to think of it, is making this “vacation” sort of like Hawaii.
Sort of.
P.S. HOLY SH*T ON A STICK! We got a Drudge link!!! And here we thought we could spend the whole freaking day in pajamas watching a Tudors marathon on the BBC…but noooooooo. We’re approving comments as they come in!
why is obama constantly groping his oldest daughter? What’s next for their church attire – bikini bottoms with halter tops? Show some respect you crass bunch of idiots. Cover your shoulders in church.
I’m so ashamed for America with these morons parading around like peacocks.
In all fairness, he is not groping his daughter. Let’s at least
keep the criticism honest.
If people kept their criticism honest, there would never be another comment on a blog.
Which is more disrespectful: showing one’s shoulders in church or calling someone an idiot and a moron.
more disrespectful to show bare shoulders in church
Bare shoulders in church shows a lack of reverence for the holiness of God and a lack of the grace of modesty. Calling other people names shows a lack of respect for other people.
Both scenarios show a lack of respect: one for God, one for man.
Yes, I am serious about the shoulders, and that also applies to nearly backless wedding dresses. I’m not in charge of what people wear, but I am entitled to follow centuries of Tradition on this one.
Wear whatever you want because I am certainly no one’s boss. Just saying.
Showing lack of respect to man *is* showing lack of respect to God. Whether or not one feels that bare shoulders/back is offensive to God, I think God would be offended if a person called one of His children an idiot or moron. After all, what is God’s work and glory? His children — Obamas included. I just think it doesn’t make sense to call someone an idiot in the same sentence as telling them to respect God.
Bare shoulders in church cannot be compared to the morons and imbeciles that they are. It’s disrespectful and is all the more obvious that the obama’s haven’t spent much time in a pew.
It is just this sort of outdated thinking that has driven so many away from traditional churches to the Come-as-you-are (jeans, shorts, tank tops), rock music playing, show churches.
Considering God brings you into the world naked, I really have serious doubts she cares one bit about what you wear while you worship.
Of course you are right. Women going to church should be able to dress like a prostitute or even go topless in today’s modern world. God forbid people follow the rules of the church when attending a church, they should just make up their own rules. In fact, make up your own rules everywhere. Next time ytou are at the store don’t pay for your items, in this day and age it is silly for a store owner to expect people to pay for items like people “used” to do. The only thing more stupid than a liberal is a liberal with a college degree.
Well, since calling them idiots and morons would be telling the truth…..
Heck, forget about the bare shoulders can someone put a bag over her head? The liberal media keep trying to convince us she’s beautiful. Stop it now!
The liberal media is also trying to convince us these people go to church by making sure they’re photographed all 3 times they’ve headed towards church since he’s been POTUS.
The only ‘church’ the Obamas have regularly attended is Rev. Wright’s Marxist church of racism.
LOL!
I was married in church and wore an off the shoulder gown. Maybe you never lived in a tropical climate but that is what the people to.
Who dresses her? Pee Wee Herman?
RuPaul?
Come on now! That’s not fair to Pee Wee Herman!
Bwahahahaha!
Obamam treats his daughters with the same respect he does his wife.
Had to explain that, as you seem to have ‘no idea’ forgeign concept to you I can tell.
Covered arms in church?? It is the BLACK hearts that God is more concerned about BARRYlies. So how are you going to deal with that….time to look in the mirror
It’s Hawaii! Even in December its balmy and all standards are different out there. Though a very modest dresser myself I rarely had my shoulders covered in church during the four years I lived there. My church didn’t have a/c and I seriously doubt the Marine Corp affords a/c in their chapel. By Hawaii standards what is odd is that the President is wearing a dark polo and not an Aloha shirt.
Sorry, but I also attended church on Christmas, and every Sunday, here on Oahu, and nobody over the age of 16 wore bare shoulders–and they were obviously tourists. Most women were amply covered with suits, skirts or dresses with sweaters that even covered bare arms. Red skirts and sweaters dominated. Locals do not dress any differently than mainlanders, except for heavy wools, fleece, etc. Obama manages to fit into local dress customs here in Hawaii (although I would prefer to see him more often in Washington wearing a dark suit and doing some work), but his wife and daughters usually stick out like sore thumbs.
All buildings in Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kaneohe have air conditioning. It’s not the stone ages. You would be surprised they also have running water there too.
Every President takes vacation and needs security which has never bothered any of you in the past. You Reps are suppose to believe in allowing the Rich to enjoy the spoils…. Was it last year at Christmas when Rush was in Hawaii with his 55 million salary with his private jet. His pitiful job is running his mouth with no degree, tearing our country apart with Hillbilly hate speech for Barack. That is what should drive you nuts. Do you really think Newt and Romney are not flying around buying jewelry and ski fly away hob nob parties enjoying their connected spoils? While you are disparately about to vote them in office with a straight face. Or the greedy Sarah Palin now that she’s rich not having spoken a word against the influence peddler Newt, while silent on supporting a real Tea Party candidate ? It’s nice to see you really agree with us, in whining, that given a tough economy maybe we should all suffer a little to show empathy. Sooo, I guess you really are for TAXING the Rich NOW.
Hey, we don’t pay Limbaugh’s or Palin’s way anywhere they go. On the other hand, we do pay for the “first family.”
Bill, Spot on! We don’t pay Rush’s salary, nor do we pay for his vacations, thats referred to as success!. Unfortunately, Mooch lives like a Saudi Prince, flying wherever, and whenever she wants on our dime. Its the typical liberal lifestyle, do as we say, just ignore our lavish life style, you couldn’t appreciate it like we Socialists do. I can eat Chili dogs, but you all have to eat kale and other sustainable garbage. Why just look at ole Barry, he’s the picture of health, smoking, cheese burgers, dogs at the game, pizzas. Jan 20th 2013 can’t get here soon enough. You can bet that the National Mall won’t be a trash heap when the new President is inaugurated.
Good response Bill/Mak! There is a big difference between people who are successful spending their hard earned money and the president/first lady throwing money away at our expense when we can’t afford to take a vacation. After the last three difficult years, you’d think they’d have the common sense/courtesy to tone it down
And everyone used to tout her LLBean “affordable” clothes…they’ve come a long way baby! (…LLBean
And, also remember that when Nancy Pelosi was Speaker and was flying every weekend from Washington DC to San Franscisco that she charged the taxpayers $100,000 for the alcohol that she and her family and friends consumed on those trips.
I guess Bush just stood out in his ranch with a six shooter at his side? No guards no nothing?
Just because Obama’s idea of a good vacation doesn’t involve brush clearing or hog tying doesn’t make it any worse than any other presidents vacation.
Did you pay for Air Force One everytime it flew to Texas, California, or Maine????? These Presidents went on vacation at least once a month…….
Wow, you be off your meds! How do you fail to see that ever so subtle difference, i.e. who’s picking up the tab? And then there’s that hypocrisy thing – these frequent and lavish vacations just ooze hypocrisy regarding the “official positions” castigating we little people for our teeny tiny carbon footprints from 100 watt bulbs, and being “lazy”. Please reveal what reality alterting meds those are by the way – I need a BUNCH of them to get through this bizarre era.
Barack has never spoken against the rich…He’s just trying to use all resources to fight this economic war, just like we sent the young to fight, so the rich are the best to fight with higher taxes, and AANNNDD cut spending..Your paying for Rush, Lemmings.. The Coke Brothers and their elk are controlling policy by using him to push their agenda. So they protect the rich and Corps. while joking off the average American, and you’re paying for it through lost jobs and lower pay…Anyone thank the President for getting the Gulf that 40 billion that got them back on their feet already ?
I didn’t know the Koch’s had elks.
WTF?!? Your obviously not as smart as you’re trying to be. Another moron from the left fails to enlighten anyone.
I live in New Orleans. Obama killed the economy here when he killed the drilling. I know the rig had a problem and caught fire. They have the well platform offset for a reason. The rig could have burned off the oil for months until the well could have been shut off but the Coast Guard appears to have SANK the rig, Didn’t anyone on the scene wonder what pumping millions of gallons of water into a ship would do? We were shouting at the TV’s showing them sinking the ship, causing the oil to enter the gulf in the first place. So our big so called economic rescue would not have been needed and certainly killing the drilling in the Gulf was and is uncalled for. Obama killed the economy here, period.
Your Barack has done nothing but speak against any and all who have earned anything in the private sector, from joe the plumber on up. Lest we forget his stirring words about wasting time and money in Las Vegas, corporate (yes, private sector not tax-paid) jets and lately the supposed laziness of the non-unionized first mover class. He and his followers in the tax-eating non-skilled, non-productive sectors of this society know only the politics of envy. It worked so well against the Kulaks, so why not give it a go again?
As regards your Coke Brothers, that must be some recycled talking point from a CPUSA publication of which I am unaware. As far as I know, the Coke Bros. died years ago and took their secret recipe with them to the grave. Of course I prefer Pepsi so not an authority on that. And their elk? Well I think it safe to say categorically that the elk has done nothing to offend any of us and I defy you to come up with even a single instance where the elk was implicated in any wrongdoing.
Dude, turn your tin foil hat a little more to the left…there – better.
If you’re going to prattle on with worn out liberal/Democrat/socialist fairy tales at least get the names and verbage correct – it’s “ilk” not “elk” and it’s the Koch Bros. not “Coke Bros.”
The Coke Brothers have elk?!?! I want a pet elk! Who are the Coke Brothers and where did they get their elk?
the top 1% pay disporpotionally more than the rest, is this fair? the top 1% pays for about 70% of the cost of running our government….it seems to me is extremely unfair for the top1% to be responsible for 70% of the cost…1% to 7%…if you are a fair minded person you will agree. So it is ridiculous when Obama says that the rich are not paying their fair share…as a matter of fact Obama is wrong…the rich are paying more than their fair share…so let’s be truthful and fair. The problem is that the bottom 40% is not contributing a dime. So there is great unfairness but it is the opposite of what you hear from the President or his Party. When you impose higher and higher taxes to the most productive members of our society…the collection of taxes shrinks due to the lack of motivation to work harder to keep less…those productive members will produce less…and the government ends up collecting less…as a matter of fact…tax collection increase significantlly after Bush cut taxes…the government collected much more taxes during Bush than during Clinton. In Russia they have a 13% flat income tax…everyone rich or poor pays the same 13%….The Russian government has never run a deficit…of course if you make more you pay more by the fact that you make more. For example if you make 1 million your tax liability is $130,000 and if you make $100,000 your tax liability is $13,000. Wealthy Russian have no motivation to cheat or evade their income taxes…it is cheaper for them to pay. The higher the tax rate the more cheating and evading of taxes which lowers collection. It is the law of diminishing return…lower tax rate higher compliance and more collection
Gee, I didn’t know Coca Cola also raised Elk. Where I come from,we don’t let the livestock make policy. The rest of it…I don’t know where to begin. “Fat Cats” would be a start, but I doubt its worth the bother to joke off this poster. BTW I don’t watch Fox News (no cable), pay for any sort of Rush, and didn’t need a gratuitous degree from Harvard to write this reply.
Enlighten us wise liberal. We know how we are paying for the vacations and the endless White House parties, but how are we “Lemmings” paying for Rush? By buying the Temporpedic mattresses he advertises? By quietly agreeing with him as we drive home from work in our cars? We get the tax thing, and how it funds the vacations, but Rush doesn’t get tax money. He pays it.
Please help we of the great unwashed to understand.
“Your paying for Rush, Lemmings.. The Coke Brothers and their elk are controlling policy by using him to push their agenda. So they protect the rich and Corps. while joking off the average American, and you’re paying for it through lost jobs and lower pay…Anyone thank the President for getting the Gulf that 40 billion that got them back on their feet already ?”
Yes, it\s those evil Coke Bros, bro and their elks. Reading your words of wisdom actually made Coke come down through of my nose. How ironic when you stop and realize that Barry was once responsible for Coke going up people’s noses including his own.
And yes, while it’s a given the Cokes have their elks isn’t it ironic that Barry continues to have the Fourth Estate eating out of the palm of his hand, continually heaping praise & thanks to the Premier casting doe eye upon the First Moose for keeping the wheels of the welfare wagon well greesed, the stipends warm and the sacramental 40′s cool. Hosana in the highest to Premier Soetoro. Long may he reign. Food stamps, Section 8 housing, unemployment checks for everyone. Off with the heads of the Coke Brosand their elks, Rush Limbbow and his lemmingheads. Praise be to Barry.
If we choose to keep those tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, if we choose to keep a tax break for corporate jet owners, if we choose to keep tax breaks for oil and gas companies that are making hundreds of billions of dollars, then that means we’ve got to cut some kids off from getting a college scholarship.
Barack Obama
Obama has said a variation of that quote over and over again. He has stated he wants to spread the wealth around. Trouble is, it isn’t his to spread. Look at the economy. Look at the unemployment rate. He has been a complete disaster.
“The Coke Brothers and their elk”
Brilliant satire! ! ! And by bringing in elk, we get to bash Palin, indirectly.
Out here, we know that the top 5% of wage earners pay about 40% of all the taxes (but of course that’s “fair”), while the bottom 47% pay none at all – or get free money from the government (good thing it’s government money and not ours).
$14 Million in vacation costs in three years……hell of a perk. You Dims complained when Dubya took vacations, but his were all either to his own ranch, or the Bush estate in Kennebuckport. Cost to the taxpayer was minimal, travel only.
And why does Michelle have to travel separately? It only doubles the travel cost. Why do they never go to Chicago, where they own a home, but don’t seem to have visited since the 2008 campaign started?
You FOOL!! Rush and other citizens are flying around on their own nickel! The US taxpayers are paying for BO and his clan. I can see that you are one of the 99% who are jealous of the 1% who work their a$$es off to EARN a living. What do you think of Princess Pelosi in her $10grand per night suite in HI. A-holes, you all.
I recall Democrats complaining when Eisenhower played golf which was considerably less than Obama. I remember the Democrats complaining when Bush 2 would go to his ranch for time off. When he was there, he received foreign visitors. I remember the Democrats complaining about Mrs. Bush. How soon THEY forget.
Rush was a president?
George went to his ranch and Laura dressed like a first LADY.
The left or liberals or democrats can not cry or pretend they are for the poor while enjoying the life of the rich. The republicans believe in properity and success therefore we can enjoy the fruit of our hard work of success without a shame…the democrats need to lead by example and live what they preach…if they believe in paying more taxes….no one is stopping them from sending more taxes to the IRS….they need to do as they say….but none of them are volunteering to pay more taxes or to help the poor with their own wealth or money including Clinton and Gore who are wealthy beyond yours or mine imagination. If they believe in helping the less fortunate, the should use their fortune to do it. All of your democrat leaders are the biggest hypocrit…claiming they are big supporter fo public education yet not one of them (except for Carter) ever sent their children to a public school: Clinton, Gore, Kerry or Obama…all the biggest liars and hypocrites
hey moron, I’m paying for this vacation and everyothjer tax payerso get bend. 15 trillions in debt and asking for another 1.2 trillion. God help us, this man has spend 5 trillion dollar since going into office. Wake up
But…Newt, Rush and the rest are spending THEIR own money!
Yes, Rush is rich and spends his own money. Evil, huh?
Rob above said
“…guess Bush just stood out in his ranch with a six shooter at his side? No guards no nothing?
Just because Obama’s idea of a good vacation doesn’t involve brush clearing or hog tying doesn’t make it any worse than any other presidents vacation…”
Rob you need to do a bit of research about the costs involved in Bush’s trips to his ranch. The costs were minimal compared to Obama and company. The media didn’t like Mr. GWB, remember? Because they had to go to middle America and work out of a school gym. They like Mr. Obama and Hawaii a bit better, don’t ya think? Look into it if you want to deal with reality. Don’t if you don’t. Up to you.
Mrs. Bush took her daughters to Africa…just like Mooch. The difference? NOT A PLAYCATION ON THE TAXPAYERS DIME.
Why don’t you look up what they did there? A kinder, more down to earth woman you won’t see often. The evil GWB has saveD more “black” lives that you could imagine. He is thought of as a hero to many AFRICAN (FROM AFRICA) Americans.
So brain washed, the Left. I understand those under 30 thinking of themselves as “liberal”…But really– anybody that can read and understands reality that is a liberal at 30+…sad.
Yes, GWB started a program of working against AIDS in Africa. Funny how we never hear any mainstream media applaud him for that. Wouldn’t fit into their picture of him as an evil greedy rich guy.
And you are correct that his ranch was on his own dime. The taxpayers did not buy his ranch for him. They were very down to earth people. The Obama’s are getting in as much world travel as they possibly can before he’s run out of Wash. D.C. in Jan. 2013.
The difference is that he is President and we are in a bad economy. He told everyone we would all have to be tightening our belts financially. However, he does not seem to be doing that himself. He goes on expensive vacations all the time, and takes his family with him. I think the hypocrisy is what is being observed. Limbaugh’s vacations are not taxpayer funded. As for hate speech, you need to take a listen to Maher and the rest of the liberal talkers. Don’t be saying any conservatives engage in hate speech as compared to those hateful liberals.
Lol….that’s the way it’s done in Hawaii. Very causal dress attire. Even business management level doesn’t wear business suits. He’s from here, he knows the lay of the land. I love Hawaii….maybe one day you’ll be able to visit.
“Barack has never spoken against the rich…” That is correct. His actions have said enough, words would be overkill.
“He’s just trying to use all resources to fight this economic war.” Of course, all resources except the most obviously-available and practical: Reduced Federal spending. You say cutting spending is an available resource, so I am waiting for that to happen.
“Your paying for Rush, Lemmings..” Only if you subscribe to his services. None of my money goes to Rush Limbaugh.
“The Coke Brothers and their elk are controlling policy by using him to push their agenda.” The Coke Brothers? Who are they? If you use an entity as evidence in making your case, please ensure you know who the heck you are talking about first (it is COCH, you lemming). Please actually educate yourself prior to making a feeble attempt at sounding educated.
“So they protect the rich and Corps. while joking off the average American.” Sounds similar to pandering to the poor and underemployed, then shoving it in their faces with lavish trips and exorbitant furnishing.
“Anyone thank the President for getting the Gulf that 40 billion that got them back on their feet already ?” What the heck are you talking about? I don’t recall Barack Obama touring a private-capital fundraising roadshow to assist the Gulf… Can you point me in the direction where I would learn about this?
Just because previous Presidents and First Ladies have traveled separately at enormous cost does not, in ANY way, excuse continued exploitation of taxpayer funds. I suppose since previous Presidents were slave-owning aristocrats, we should just go ahead and accept it as the status quo and perpetually let it slide. Did YOU actually call someone else a lemming?
Please learn to view things from a rational, non-partisan vantage point, and realize we are being played from both sides.
The sleeveless look is for a practical problem – profuse underarm sweatting.
At least they should respect the pocket book of the tax-payers.
You’re the idiot, or perhaps liar, because he is clearly not groping anyone.

Good for her. If she wants to wear a 50,000$ dress why should I care? She doesn’t tell you how expensive your clothing should be. Do you like living in a free country? If not, move to Saudi Arabia. I’m sure you’ll fit right in. By the way I can’t stand Obama’s policies. This is about freedom, not policy.
It’s not about the freedom to wear or not wear expensive clothing, but rather her own hypocrisy. She claims to be a champion of the poor and a fellow bargain shopper, but yet, here she is, sporting a dress that no unemployed American can afford. For someone who says she understands the troubles of the American people, who claims to shop at Target, she certainly fails to show it.
I don’t deny that she has the freedom to wear and pay for whatever she wants, but don’t cultivate a fake image if you don’t want that image easily torn away.
It depends on who’s paying for it. The taxpayers shouldn’t be paying.
That’s what some people are aggravated about.
The taxpayers aren’t paying for it. There is no reason for them to do so. Remember, Obama “wrote” two autobiographies, even if they were mostly fiction. So he pocketed several million dollars in royalties of those books.
However the State Department bought several thousand copies of that book , using taxpayer money, and who knows how many copies the unions bought and who knows how much of that money came from taxpayers that was laundered through public sector union dues.
And there is her no-show $300,000/year job at that hospital when Barry became state senator.
Technically it is her own money that she is spending. But the point is that the Democrats always claim to be champions of the poor, then they themselves are in the 1%, and they and Pelosi keep heaping praise on the Occuturds. That is where the hypocrisy lies. If they didn’t have such dark tans, the left would be clamoring that they should be giving away a vast majority of their wealth to charity.
And to be fair, very few EMPLOYED persons could afford such a dress, let alone unemployed.
remember those staged photos of her buying stuff at the discount store Just like the regular folk? You are so right when it comes to this white house and how hypocritical they are. I am counting the days until next election.
Mooochell wears her dresses like Fred Mertz wore his
pants on the I Love Lucy show. Under her arm pits!
Well said! The dress version of Fred Mertz’s pants!
Michelle is borrowing or renting the dress. Designer clothing in that price range are fitted for you. The dress doesn’t fit. She is quite short-waisted, yes, so her clothes always look disproportional, however this skirt was hemmed for a flat derriere, and Ms. Obama’s is ample, which is why the skirt is shorter in the back. This not a custom garment.
I have to say that after reading the majority of the comments posted here, it is no wonder that America is in the mess that it is. Gd bless America indeed, because she needs all the help she can get.
$2,000 for that dress?
It looks okay, but $2,000?
Looks like something you might get at Target.
Maybe that’s what she was looking for during her photo-op visit to Target (she’s just the little people) a few weeks back.
Ya right… Her staff was carrying her bags at Target while she carried bags..$hitty photo op…the Dems $usk, as usual!
Well said!
Now, Emily,
Can you just imagine the hue and cry if America’s First Lady appeared in public wearing torn sweats and a grubby tee shirt? I, for one, am proud to have such a fashionable and handsome woman representing me around the world– and couldn’t care less what “retail” for her wardrobe (which is likely on loan from the spotlighted designers,) might be. She and her gorgeous daughters are the public face of our nation. Try to show a little pride?
As for the wholly-reasonable cost of the family’s security detail over the Christmas holidays; think of the hit to your pension funds if one of the girls was kidnapped, or if Hawaii suffered a terrorist attack. The Obama’s expenses are right in line with the Bushes, (what did Genna and Tonic cost the American taxpayer, again?) the Clinton’s, the Reagans, and all the rest of our First Families’, but harping on it out of context makes a good talking point, no?
With best wishes for a better New Year!
-gsnarks
It wouldn’t be such a big deal if she weren’t constantly lecturing people about their spending habits.
But “handsome” is quite a good word for her, I will admit that.
Where’s the “like” button?
She’s a liar when she touts being a “young mother” on a talk show but was age 34 when malia was born. She wanted the audience’s sympathy and figured they couldn’t do math.
I think she’s an alien. She’s an illegal alien from another galaxy.
Bush 4 hrs round trip to Texas, $80,000/hr x 4 = $320,000.00. Extra security $0 as it was already set up for his home.
Obama 18 hrs round trip to Texas $187,000/hr x 18 = $3,366,000.00. Extra security ???? 2 C140 planes, 30 vehicles, 1 full floor of high end tourist hotel for guards. ????? Michele’s extra flight because she couldn’t wait for husband $100,000.00.
Reagan 0 hrs, no extra security. He staid in Washington so his security could be home with their families on Christmas.
Obama’s cost over Bush 10 times +! Like all democrats & liberals, you can’t do math!
Nancy Reagan 20,000.00 dress, 200,000.00 set of china,diamonds
Nancy paid for that with her own money and then gave the china to the White House and she had 1 or 2 assisstants not 30 like Michelle Obama. Nice try but educated folks know better.
Nancy Reagan was not promoting redistribution of wealth from everyone else.
So, its okay that they do whatever they want on the public’s dime since “Bush did it?”
I could care less about what this fool wears, I just don’t think I should be forced to pay for it.
Actually, the Bushes typically vacationed at family homes, and Bush was typically seen in blue jeans there.
“…are right in line with the Bushes.” Wow, when did backwoods Texas become such a tourist trap? You’re surely kidding.
The frequency and lavishness of the taxpayer hits for vacationing is plenty repulsive for the sheer magnitude of the waste BUT the REAL ZINGER is the massive hypocrisy and arrogance of the continuous round of “in your face” affronts to “environmental concern” and “cost effective government” )OK, oxymoron).
What a fool you are… You are PROUD to have such a “handsome” and “fashionable” woman representing you around the world? How about classless? She is a classless moocher who rubs everyone’s NOSE in how wealthy she is…She takes FULL ADVANTAGE of her position as First Lady, and spares no expsense to show it off. Further, the little things that idiot woman does affect us tremendously. For instance, she has to leave for Hawaii ahead of Obama and cost taxpayers in security and coverage, MILLIONS more than it would have cost. But she didnt care. Its not HER wallet paying for the Federal entourage. If Obama the Accidental President is going to ‘spread the wealth’ lets start with HIS.
Hows that? I am only speaking like his constituents speak and I cant stand the Accomplishment-Free so-called President.
He and his racist wife do not deserve the office of the President.
And how did they get so much money??? Let’s see, she made $350,000/year for the totally fake job in Chicago, and he sold his books written by Bill Ayers….where is the money coming from? From the sheiks who bankrolled his education, perhaps?
I lost half a million this year, thanks to Obumma, and I just wish I could go out to dinner!! That’s why I hate her stupid dress!!
I suspect you just mis-managed your own financial affairs, because corporations, the stock market and I am doing just fine these days.
Comparisons of Michele Obama to Marie Antoinette are unfair…to Marie Antoinette.
LOLLL!!
Idiots, fools and carnival barkers. These posting are a true testimony on why America is in trouble.
Thank you! People need to read a little about Marie Antoinette. Benjamin Franklin loved her. She reduced the royal staff to save money. She was not the spender that she was said to be. She was only 37 when she was beheaded. Her children were taken from her, her best friend was executed in front of her. She told her captors to just go ahead and kill her, she had nothing to live for. I am so tired of the Obama/Antoinette comparison.
‘sporting a dress that no unemployed American can afford’
That should be that 99% of Amercans can’t affort.
Uumm. I can not afford Target. I still dress better than MMichele. I like her daughters dress better. I pay my own way on everything. If we can not afford something we make do or do without.
As long as she is the one paying for it. Now that she has all that extra money
because we are paying for everything else!
This woman has No Right to open her pie hole to tell us anything
Yep.
RIght on Grant. People, listen to this guy.
He is the reason that this country is in the sh!tter. Morons like him are the reason Obozo and crooked Democraps get elected over and over.
You know that 40% of pewople that think Obozo is doing a good job? Grant is one of the effing dopes who are in that group.
No Grant, she doesn’t tell us how much our clothes should be- NOT YET. She is
only tell us what we can feed ourselves and our children while she and her
brood eat like pigs! How is that for freedom GRANT?
Don’t forget her agressive nipple-watch program. Breast feeding MANDATES – give it a rest, moochie. And obama’s funding of Planned parenthood because he doesn’t want his girls to get knocked up and have to “pay for their mistakes” by raising a child.
My gawd, if some poor fetus makes it through the obama’s obstacle course and is actually born, mooch will breastfeed it herself if she doesn’t get enough attention.
Let’s all thank God that obama never fathered a child (that we know of).
As to Grant Smith, This Parasite named Moochelle has wasted more taxpayer dollars on her extravagent “trips” than any other first lady in history. Then has the gall to tell all of us to eat twigs and lettucess’. I get sick to my stomach every time I see the First Moochers out on parade. TThe ghost of Marie Antoinette is resting easy these days looking down on “Moochelle”.
What the problem is with your astatement is that the tax payers should not be buying a millonaires dress. If she wants to put on the dog and pony show she needs to pay for it herself. We can only pay for so man y $10,000,000 vacations a year. I hear that mine is due next year, oh wait it is not vacation its a layoff thanks to Obamas failed regime.
to Grant smith……..all of us taxpayers who are paying for her clothes CARE……DUH…….do you not understand that YOU TOO are paying for everything they so, buy and eat?
If Obama & co. didn’t use my hard earned tax dollars ( I have worked straight through my “Holiday” ) to make TWO trips to Hawaii, since Michelle couldn’t wait 2 days to travel with hubby ) and shlep along, house and feed secret service & Michelle’s humungous retinue/ladies in waiting all to the tune of 4.5 million dollars for ANOTHER vacation…well then I couldn’t care less what the unemployed Michelle gets her husband to pay for her frocks.
Plus…..I am wondering if if these strappy sundresses are what Obama meant when he said that “in this economy we all have to have (show!!!) some skin in the game….hahahahahaha
Grant Smith………..then they need to practice what they preach……she needs to SHARE THE WEALTH with the rest of us……
You should care because it is not Obama’s money buying the clothes and extravagant vacations. It is bought by the taxpayers.
As near as I can tell, obama’s wife if like trailer park trash that suddenly comes into large, unaccountable money.
Seems to me I remember the media making a big deal about Palin;s 10k wardrobe when dhe was running with McCain. Here we have 1 dress at 2k, and its our dime.
Along with thaty consider the 120k for their dog’s caretaker.
You’re right. I’m sure you have a lot of equally expensive dresses in your “closet.”
While I hate the way she dresses, I must admit that the cost of her clothing is her own affair and none of ours. Taxpayers are not paying for her wardrobe the last I heard. If she looks in appropriate (which is most of the time) that is her problem, not ours.
As we’ve said before, if she likes fancy clothes, that’s fine (I mean, seriously, I quite love the dress and many First Ladies have had their own designers), but she holds herself up as “one of the little people” while paying thousands for simple clothing. If she were willing to admit it, fine, but instead she asks AP photographers to follow her around while she shops at Target. She should expect that we’ll price her out and expose her for what she really is.
Plus, she champions policies that restructure and redistribute wealth, but seems to have difficulty with those policies “in her own backyard,” so to speak.
Actually, we the taxpayers do pay for her clothes. Where do you think the money comes from? She receives a stipend for clothing as part of being the 1st “lady” (and I use that term VERY loosely)
Moochelle is a total fake, just like her husband.
Stipend nothing.
Her husband gets a salary that comes directly from the taxpayers.
When they spend “their” money it’s from the salary that
we pay him.
The racist undertones in some of these posts is undeniable,
however the posters will loudly deny they are indeed racists.
BTW: I’m a white middle class conservative.
There is nothing racist about expecting the POTUS and his wife to walk the walk. Shopping at Target one day and then spending 2k on a dress? You say you’re a middle class conservative? I don’t think so. I’m a middle-class conservative and I don’t care what color he is. He’s a lousy president. We will all be in the poor house if we don’t vote him out next year.
Conservative, remember when GHW Bush didn’t know what a scanner was or the price of a loaf of bread? He was a one termer.
Racist, racist! You are the racist for bringing this up. Conservatives don’t see color. I am a white lady with a black son, but I hate this idiot we have in the White House because he wants to destroy our country.
What a bunch of poppycock. The race card is a tool for the desperate who can’t argue facts, logic or reason. They are hypocrits because their actions run contrary to what they tell the American people just like the Clintons. Oh no I criticised white people to I must just hate everyone or I’m bigoted against Arkansans. Then you try to negate what anyone says about not being racist by using a logical fallacy and demonizing all the messengers you don’t like. I won’t buy that bridge in the desert just as I don’t buy for a second that you are conservative. What color am I?
It’s rejection of behavior, not race. The same people appropriately criticize Biden.
How can it be racist when Obama is as much white as black, or maybe more so? How about stopping the “racist” crap because if I do not like someone or their obvious cons, it is they I do not like, not their race or mixes of races.
Besides, racism and racist are over-used, abused to death trigger terms meant to discredit when the user has no facts to base his comments on.
only racists see racism everywhere…I am tired of anyone being called a racist because they critize or disagree with the Obama’s.
This is a discussion of the hypocracy of the Obama’s…if the country is suffering and millions have no jobs…they should stay home and show some sympathy…how about instead of spending millions of dollars to go on some fancy vacation…they donate the money to the jobless or homeless…that will be true leadership and compassion.
But as long as the economic remains anemic and unemployment is unacceptable high, they should refrain from such extravagant vacation….they need to be more sensitive and lead by example not emphty rhetoric or words
get off the racist thing, the only color I see when I see obama is red. He’s a Marxist born, raised and educated.
America needs pro growth leaders not European, subservience.
She can afford to buy fancy clothes since we (aka taxpayers) are footing the bill for all their other luxuries.
Yup. I could buy all kinds of awesome toys if my housing, food, healthcare, utilities, laundry, house-cleaning, and vacations were all funded by someone else. The only difference between Michelle Obama and people who get food stamps because paying for groceries cuts into their mani-pedi/tattoo/designer jeans budget is scale.
The taxpayers may not be paying for her wardrobe but they ARE Paying MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR HER WORLD TOUR TRIPS IN A TIME OF ECONOMIC HARDSHIP IN THIS COUNTRY. Why doesn’t the first lady LEAD BY EXAMPLE? Yeah she should look good for the cameras. We’re paying for it in the end.
Are you sure taxpayers are not paying. Where are they getting all this money? Accepting illegal gifts? Remember just a few years ago they could not afford to purchase a house.
Dress looks like a table cloth with holes… They spend $4 million taxpayer dollars for another junket to Hawaii.
How much you want to bet that that $2k dress wasn’t paid for by the Obamas, but with taxpayer dollars instead?
Sick of these dirt bags pissing away our tax dollars while telling us we’ve got to give more.
Why does anyone care how much Newt spent at Tiffany’s or how much Romney earns in a year? It seems OK to ask these questions of conservatives but not Michelle or Pelosi?
Sorry – but the big difference is that those people worked (although not very hard) at jobs they had. I would question anyone who spends others money on themselves that was being given to them from the taxpayer
How do you know how hard they have worked?
Bernard,
You suffer from cranio-rectal occlusion.
It’s a hopeless liberal disease for which there is no cure.
Charles, Bernard is not liberal. He is questioning Bob’s statement that rich people do not work hard for their money.
You have never worked, have you Gui? Those who do the most work, gets the most return for their effort…….try it, YOU’LL probably hate it. ;o)
I was thinking the very same thing you did, but then I realized in a split second that it is ok if you are a progressive liberal to spend all the money that you want and how dare anyone question it. Only conservatives are wasteful pigs in times of low economics and should be questioned by the media and bashed up one side and down the other. You will not see this story on the MSNBC. Ed would wash out his mouth before he accursed them of flaunting their money
Ed shultz wants to star with the obama’s in the Green version of Centipede.
Ed Shultz wants to the cup in the newly released: 2 obamas, 1 cup
I am pretty sure Newt spent his own money, not taxpayers at Tiffany’s. Can you say that about Moochelle?
Because neither Newt or Romney are the president, and neither one spend taxpayer
dollars on their personal belongings. And if you were to go back and read, you will
find that the left was always whining about how Nancy Reagan spent her money.
Nancy Reagan??? The dems also complained about Vice-President Nixon’s wife’s clothing but stood by for Jackie Kennedy’s extravagance three years later. Of course it was Kennedy’s money but you never heard the GOP complaining about it.
It is part of the democratic play book.
Republicans spend too much (even if it is their own money).
Republicans are stupid (even if they have Master’s degrees and sucessful businesses)
Republicans hate black people (even if Jim Crow laws, the Black laws, and segregation were democratic legislative feats)
Republicans only care about the rich (even if most of the “rich” people in Congress are democrats)
Republicans are morally challenged (even if individual republicans resign when caught and democrats rally to protect their lepers)[I apologize to any lepers out there]
Calvin: You are so right on! And Nancy Reagan borrowed her dresses, but how she was criticized, and Pat Nixon ironed her clothes each time she took them off so they’d be ready to wear….how times have changed!
Good comment Calvin!
The wild hypocracy of the main stream media is unbelieveable. Sarah Palin and her family were literally crucified by the mainstream media when clothes were given to them by the Republican campaign in 2008. It wasn’t Palin’s money and the clothes were returned. Most of those clothes were not even worn. But that didn’t stop the vicious attacks by the media.
And today it was revealed that Obama has played 90 rounds of golf since his Presidency began. For those keeping track of time that is nearly 3 months of golf. This while the country and the economy are going down the tubes!!!!
Newt and Romney are private citizens….they do not live from taxpayers dollars….besides Newt and Romney are not preaching class warfare or wealth redistribution socialism but proposing prosperity thru individual and private sector not seeking to fleece the taxpayers more and more.
Taxpayers are tired of being slaves…whenever you are forced to surrender the fruit of your work . In other word…you work but not allow to keep your pay…you are working for nothing or free and it amounts to slavery. Currently more than 50% of what I make it is taken away from me from some type of government: city, county, state or federal….so I labor six month for others…slavery…i thought slavery had been abolished…uh?
Pelosi spend money hand over fist too, demanding Air force three to fly her home and don’t forget it had to be stock with her and her friends and familiy drinks.
My son’s only Christmas present was an electric blanket from wal-mart,
since I can not afford to have the heat on.
Sue, I wish I could give you a big hug. God bless you and I hope 2012
will be a wonderful year for you.
Hang in there, Sue. The darkess will soon be lifted.
Sue your comment put this article and every comment into it’s proper perspective. Hang in there Sue the tide will turn for you and country soon. I will keep you in my prayers. At the same time know this:
“…your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.” And..God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus”
Matthew 6:8 and Phillipians 4:19
Things will get better when there is certainty for the future for businesses. Tell everyone you come across that Democrats equal welfare and Republicans equal prosperity. Maybe enough people will get it this time.
Imagine how many electric blankets this trip to Hawaii could have paid for… We have to many people suffering in this country for them to be throwing money away. Such disrespect!
Another rip off at the expense of the taxpayers. It probably cost 2 grand because it takes a lot of material to cover her big butt.
Hey now – let Michelle Antoinette enjoy her “Shared Sacrifice” seventeen day,
US taxpayer paid vacation in paradise in peace. Now get back to work, serf…
She could wear a $75,000 dress and still look like crap.
Spot on Danny! It’s amazing that the Dems can rip the rich Republicans and the evil one per centers and they are part of the same group they demonize.
Nick, judging from the average IQ of the Dem voter (and do dead voters have an IQ?), if you told them that lemmings were king of the beasts they would believe it! We have entered into the realm of Idiocracy.
A few months back while at church my husband said to me, “You look nice.” I replied, pointing at the different components of my outfit, “Target, Target, Costco.”.
We are both physicians.
We should have been politicians.
As long as we have dumbed down Americans that fall for the double talk it’s ok for them to be hypocrites. As long as Obama reads his TelePrompTer speeches that tell the dumbed down Americans that he’s in their corner while spending 4 million on a 17 day vacation he will get away with it. Because you see it’s not the messenger but more so what we have become as a nation. So if not Obama, the dumb down Americans will fall for any snake oil salesmans smoke and mirrior. Basically put a fork in us, we’re done as a nation.
AMEN!!!
Really? Does anyone remember the hell that was thrown at Sarah Palin because she had a wardrobe that liberals thought was out of her price range?
Moral of story…… Liberal/Progressive clothing is a private matter
Conservative clothing is open for public scorn and ridicule….
Sounds fair…. right?
You are right about that!!! Liberal Hypocrites!!!!
WOW, I was thinking the same thing. The liberal media screeds lambasted Sarah Palin for her “expensive” wardrobe paid for the RNC or some other entity. But, when the modern-day Marie Antoinette takes multi-million dollar vacations at the taxpayer’s expense, not a peep!
But there is no double standard, right? RIIIGGGHHHHTT!!!!
Remember Reagan took Christmas in Washington DC so the Secret Service and others could be home with family. Well, not this bunch of entitled bums occupying the White House. What a disgrace they are.
Reagan was a true leader…the current occupiers are parasites
Patrick Ewing sure has good taste
c’mon cut her a break, she got those items on her publicized “target” run.
she’s just like us and feels our pain… really…she does
It doesn’t matter how much they pay for the material, no dress can make the First Wookie look good. It isn’t the dress so much as the “let them eat cake” attitude of the “First Grifters!”
Hello,
You are indeed a turkey. Why don’t you focus on something positive rather than bringing down our president – you certainly didn’t do that to george w or dickwad cheney.
How do you know?
Bush was horrible, yet Obama is worse.
They lie, take our money and give it to their families
Laura Bush took a couple of separate flights from George to visit our national parks and give speeches when invited. She would NEVER have travelled to vacations and overseas shopping jaunts apart from the President.
Michelle Antoinette habitually takes separate flights to the same places Obama is going, because of her disregard for costs. They even have Bo the dog on a separate plane quite often.
The vile attacks on Cheney and Bush are pure venom. If a book and play about assassinating Obama were published, as they were about Bush, the authors would be prosecuted. Bush is a class act and never even mentioned these heinous acts. Liberals don’t believe in free speech unless they agree with it.
you are 100% on target
We didn’t have too, all the libs like you made a career out of bashing Bush and Cheney. Even if we wanted to say anything, we couldn’t have gotten a word in edgewise. Besides, neither Bush nor Cheney was out there trying to make us stupid sheeple believe they were something other than what they are.
If there were anything positive about this moron president we might mention it.
First of all, Geo W piled on debt at a small fraction of what Obama has done. While I by no means agree, he made some bad decisions during his two terms, his motives were to keep the country secure. Geo W. tried TWICE to get an investigation of Sally Mae and Freddy Mac, and his efforts were were ridiculed and blocked by Democrats, led by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, the rchitect of the disaster. At no time did Geo W. bow to leaders of foreign powers, openly disrespet the queen of England, make idiot statements like “The Police acted stupidly” play golf 90 times in less than three years, take exotic extended vacations and send the First Lady on even more extravegent junkets at Government expense. And if you had ANY grasp of recent history or current eventss, you could add more to the discussion than profane namecalling.
I seem to remember G.W. going to Crawford, Texas…..Not to Hawaii……….lmao ………. IN ASIA even LOL
Obamas constantly flaunting their total disdain for American Citizens
by thoughtlessly spending tens of Millions on themselves using taxpayer
money. The expensive little known “designer” dresses that generally look
like $19.99 Target are just the cherry on their money bloated cake.
All their manners and taste are in their mouths,
lobster paid with our deficit tax dollars.
Look, Jackie O spent a fortune on clothes while she was First Lady but somehow she was never skewered for wearing them BUT the difference between Jackie & Michelle, is Jackie was a class act and would never be caught in a sundress that looked like that – Barry’s comment is correct in that this families attire is not exactly respectable or proper for church. Michelle never seems to get it right to me – like the time she met with Kate & Will and Kate looked lovely in a plain sheath dress while Michelle was wearing something that looked like a purple satin prom dress with what looked like a petticoat underneath – I thought it was a joke picture. It embarrased me. Oh well! Let’s hope we can move them out of the White House in 2012,
That dressed looked like something a cracked-out prom crasher would wear! I can’t wait until Joan Rivers’ gag order is lifted and we can watch her critique the First Lady Dress Mess! It will make these comments seem PG rated.
Truly it’s “petty” to criticize her look. I can appreciate that you may be so mad at this grotesque flaunting of squandering taxpayer funds that it has driven you to say something that you might not say otherwise – just to be polite and to avoid sinking to the level of this Obama crowd. I do empathize with you – I too am roayaly pissed!
Who are you kidding, not paid for by the taxpayers? What planet do you live on?! Some people’s density of the brain astounds me!!!
Look, Jackie O spent a fortune on clothes while she was First Lady but somehow she was never skewered for wearing them BUT the difference between Jackie & Michelle, is Jackie was a class act and would never be caught in a sundress that looked like that – Barry’s comment is correct in that this families attire is not exactly respectable or proper for church. Oh well! Let’s hope we can move them out of the White House in 2012,
Sweet Lady GaGa…put those arms away, Michelle…you’re the First Lady…
not Tyra Banks.
Going to church again? Must be an election coming.
LOL — exactly right!
Jackie Kennedy was a true first lady, the wife of a president. This woman thinks she has been elected to a position that gives her rights to tell us how to eat, dress and light our homes.
I remeber the medias facsination with Sara Palins wardrobe and how much it costs. Why not the same scrutiny here? The media is nothing more than lapdogs for the democrat party, thats why.
I’m indifferent to what she spends with her own money, but I certainly do see the hypocrisy.
What stuns me, since I’m used to the hypocrisy, is how something so expensive can look so cheap. Seriously. I see stuff like that at K-Mart.
They went to church, they are changed I tell you! From parasites to
leeches that is.
Like several of the previous posts, the issue is not about the dress or it’s cost, presuming that they paid for it themselves. The issue is the total arrogance that is shown when the First Family goes to Hawaii for a taxpayer funded vacation while telling the people of the US they must pay more taxes to help the country out. It is total hypocrisy. WHat about the numerous Golf outings Obama has been on since he became President, are these taxpayer funded also? It just arrogant and insensitive to be vacationing while the country is going broke, people are struggling just to get by from paycheck to paycheck presuming they are employed. It sends a message that they realy couldn’t give a dam about the common man.
“Let them eat cake!”
“Taxpayers are not paying for her wardrobe the last I heard”.
The hell they are not. If s/he repaid the taxpayers 1/10 of what has wasted on her whims, she would not have anything left to shop in Target, let alone buy fancy designer clothes. And by the way, by which law or right is she – an unelected private person – is entitled to use other people’s money, i.e. confiscate their property? Besides, neither Obama has ever earned a penny worth of honest work in their parasitic lives – including BO’s royalties for the books written by other people, notably Bill Ayers, and MO’s entire wages from her do-nothing “position” created by BO’s connections. Last I heard, neither had any inheritance, hence all the property these two moochers have is unearned and in fact is private property stolen, swindled, or confiscated from other people.
When it comes to Obamas, the media’s silence – or, worse yet, wild-eyed adoration (“MO arms”, “BO’s chiseled pectorals” – all that crock) – is mind-numbing. Just imagine their feeding frenzy if Laura Bush wasted millions by flying on her recreational missions separately from her husband, and if you can’t then do recall what happened when a couple of Sarah Palin’s suits were bought with the campaign (not taxpayers’) money because McCain’s campaign (not she) deemed her own clothes too plain.
As a side note, since I have already mentioned Sarah – an honest, hard-working, and truly beautiful woman destroyed by the media dirt bags – she looks a million times better in a $20 parka than MO no matter how much taxpayer’s money she’s wasted to cover her enormous posterior (which is, by the way, a result of her inability to control her appetite for junk food, contrary to all her preaching). The same media have created an image of Todd Palin as a stupid hick from Alaska as opposed to nuanced genius Obama. Anyone sane cares to compare the looks, integrity, industriousness, decency, and – what the heck – manliness of TP with those of BO?
With whom would you rather be caught in a natural disaster or, heck, even with car trouble far from town? Barack and Michelle Obama, or Sarah and Todd Palin?
Right. Me too.
Since I hate to see grown men curl up into a fetal position and cry, I’d go with the Palins.
Very well said.
Whoa. She paid HOW much for that dress? If it was more than $39.95 she got played!
Yup.. those evil 1 percenters….
Hey Obama… you’ve become a millionaire since you became president… you are part of the 1% not paying its “fair share”… go lecture yourself you hypocrite…
A $2000 dress!!! come on… just rub out noses in it.
For all you people that feel the rich should pay their fare share take a look at your president. This guy has sparked so much hatred, racism and class warfare yet spends our money like it is going out of style. His wife is even worse she is not on the payroll, oh wait, Obama put his family on the payroll even the kids. They have spent 10′s of millions of dollars on vacations while the country is in complete chaos. This is the type of person you want running the country? This disconnected, elitist who inspires hatred is your idea of a president? This person who does everything he can to go against the Constitution and the fundamentals that our country was based upon? A first lady who was never proud of our country until they elected her husband for the office of president? A person who does not salute the flag? A person that signs executive orders behind closed doors instead of going through congress? A person that decides what businesses will succeed and which one’s will fail? A person who has brought our quality of life and lifestyle to a screeching halt? It is now time for our country to get back on track to being a great nation once again and Tea Party type people will be the one’s to get us there. More than you realize we all share similar beliefs in economics and even a majority of social issues. We want this country solvent, strong, self sufficient, growing and thriving we want to be able to donate to our favorite charities again. If the money is flowing it fills all the cracks.
The Tea Party types were on to something but their idol worship of the wealthy is destructive for the country and not the direction we need to go. The whole concept of trying to concentrate the wealth and power of our society into the hands a fortunate few was already tried in the Reagan-era and all that did was lead to deterioration of the middle class with more people heading towards poverty while a few elites became hyper-wealthy. The ‘trickle-down’ economics was a bunch of BS that has led to a widening of the income and wealth gap exponentially and hurts far, far more Americans than it helped. Unless the Tea Party types can regulate and punish greed, then the Tea Party economics will be nothing more than greater pain for most Americans.
The wealth and power of ANY individual will be achieved through hard work. . . and not by cashing your weekly welfare check.
LIberal commies get so mad when free money slows to a trickle. Under the current communist, barry, the country has stagnated economically.
And look at the damn dumb democrats still trying to blame it on bush. You’re pathetic.
Seriously, Tea Party economics will be more painful than your Obamanomics??? You kool aid drinking pin heads need to educate yourselves on what Reaganomics did for this country and the economy. He inherited from his predecessor (yes, that’s a lib dig) over 10% unemployment, double-digit inflation and double-digit interest rates, far worse than what Barry had, yet by this time in Reagan’s first term the economy was consistently creating hundreds of thousands of jobs a month, and inflation and interest rates were plummeting along with the unemployment rate. Yes, liddymeme, the supply-side economics of Friedman etal once again lifted all boats…even ultra-wealthy John Kerry’s yacht that he didn’t want to pay taxes on. Get over it…Keynes and his bankrupt philosophy are dead.
UNemployed? Half the people or more who ARE employed couldn’t afford it…..
It isn’t just her flaunting it either. It’s the way she is BURNING through taxpayer money under the premise that she is OWED and she shoves it in everyone’s face….
Nobody can deny that Obama has been a complete failure to America. and his wife MOOCHIE thinks she has a unlimited vacation spending budget on the tax payers dime ———-
The First Lady has taken 42+ days of vacation in the past year, including a $375,000 vacation in Spain and a four-day ski trip to Vail, Colorado, where she spent $2,000 a night on a suite at the Sebastian hotel. And the first family’s nine-day stay in Martha’s Vineyard
is also proving costly, with rental of the Blue Heron Farm property alone costing an estimated $50,000 a week. ‘Michelle also enjoys drinking expensive booze during her trips. She favours martinis with top-shelf vodka and has a taste for rich sparking wines. ‘The vacations are totally Michelle’s idea. She’s like a vacation junkie. She can’t schedule enough vacation getaways, and she lives from one to the next – all the while sticking it to hardworking Americans.
Michelle Obama’s family trip to South Africa and Botswana in June cost taxpayers well over $424,000, according to new accounting based on Air Force manifests obtained by Judicial Watch, a taxpayer watchdog group. The use of Air Force aircraft alone for the June 21-27 trip cost $424,142, said the group, and that doesn’t include the food, lodging, and ground transportation for the 21 family and staff members which included her daughters listed as “Senior Staff” so the tax payers would pick up the tab for them in addition Michelle also listed her Hair Dresser and Make-up Artist as “Staff Memnbers” so the taxpayers would have to pay for there trip and all expenses —
you gotta love it MOOCHIE never quits spending our tax dollars — no wonder she was Booed at the NASCAR event — Michelle acts like she is Marie Antoinett “Let them not eat cake while I drink Sparkling wine and eat Lobster” Last year the Obama’s Christmas trip to Hawaii cost more than $1 million.(this years trip 4+ million) He covered the cost of his family’s accommodation, but the rest was covered by the taxpayers. The bill to house Secret Service agents and Navy Seals in beach front accommodation stretched to $16,800. A further hotel bill of $134,400 covered 24 White House staff staying in the Moana Hotel at a rate of $400 a day. The estimate, by the Hawaii Reporter, also included $250,000 for local police overtime, $1 million for the president’s
own round trip flight to Hawaii on Air Force One, and $10,000 for a local ambulance to accompany the presidential motorcade.
Well when you think & act like “Faux Royality” …….this is what you get.
Next Vacation accessory to complete her outfit will be a Gold Crown.
I wish I could afford a Vacation
MO could care less what the American people think…..she has a “in your face’ attitude and if they vote then in again……..be prepared for even more ‘F U attitude”
How come Obama tells us “we have to tighten our belts.” , but he keeping putting additional holes in his to accommodate his spending? A lot of people have forgone vacations etc, but he and his family have yet to sacrifice! Oops, I forgot, I’m supposed to say “Thank you”! for the extra 30 cents in my paycheck…my bad!
Heh, heh … very astute. Congrats on your Drudge link and now prepare yourself for the inevitable backlash from liberal pundits. It will be along the line of noting your “obvious racism” for commenting that Michelle Obama’s wardrobe is expensive, insinuating that you believe an “African American” is not entitled to enjoy wealth. No doubt it took about 30 seconds for some braindead liberal to post something like that in your comment section already. Facts never get in the way of liberals’ dark emotionalism. Fun blog.
“Barack, does this dress make my butt look big?”
No dear, not at all.
Honestly.
Let me be clear. Your butt is no bigger than Kim Kardashians.
So help me Allah. I mean God.
Hahahahhahaha!
Michelle, you know better than to directly address me. Make an appointment. And for god’s sake, your eyebrows are rivaling the reaction to a loud fart at a Tranny convention.
I for one would be embarrassed to have a first lady dressed in Walmart’s
finest. I don’t care what she wears as long as she’s paying for it. Also I
don’t see anything wrong with visiting family during Christmas. Whether they
live in Hawaii or Texas, the Obamas still have spent much less time on vacation
than Bush, who spent about 1/3 of his time on vacation if my sources are
correct. But this article was still hilarious. You have to give props for a
good jab.
The dems must be brain dead when they don’t see the difference when Bush spent time in his own home, set up with his President’s office, with accommodations for the secret service etc. Are you all so stupid that you can’t see the difference?
The press hated it because they would rather spend time in an exotic location than in Texas.
I also don’t approve of the bare arms, etc. When Kate was going to be married and all the pundits were speculating about a strapless dress, anyone with any sense of protocol knew that she was being married in a Church and she would not wear a strapless dress.
This pres is destroying our nation in many ways and the dims are following right along.
Amanda, you missed your own point. The Obamas are vacationing on the taxpayer dime to the tune of millions of dollars for this vacation alone. Who do you think pays for the separate private flights, security staff and their accommodations, entertainment, transportation, etc? I think even the house they rent is on the taxpayer and I wouldn’t be surprised if Ms. Obama’s dress was paid by you and me too. She thinks she’s a queen and that is not what America is about.
I for one am glad the first lady looks so great. She better dressed than any of the librarians here where I’m using the free computer.
Back to my cardboard box home, it’s cold here in the winter. Wish I could get to Hawaii.
greetings from Drudge Site.
Phil
the dress looks like it’s $20 and looks like a tablecloth. She has absolutely no taste in clothes and she looks ridiculous.
You got a drudge link alright, and a great piece you’ve written on MO that expresses how we all feel. I nearly snorted coffee out my nose at the skirt of the bottom of the boobs comment!
The worst part is this is more than just water cooler chit-chat. It’s downright sickening…and it’s killing us.
Personally, I don’t think a $5,000 sundress would have helped. Next time she’s at Target, she might want to invest in a $20 full-length mirror to be able to catch a glimpse of the backside. Sheesh!
Money can’t buy class.
Actually, I think most of her clothes look cheap.
[...] First Lady Michelle Obama is under attack from the Drudge Report once again. This time Matt Drudge and Naked DC have a problem with Michelle Obama’s $2,000 sun dress. Um, the cost of Michelle Obama’s clothing is a private matter, much like the clothes worn by the rich — Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Patti LaBelle, Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, etc. It’s her own private business. And don’t think she’s dressing like a regular tourist while she’s there, either, you peons. As she accompanied Barack and family to church services on the Kaneohe Bay Marine Base on Sunday, Michelle sported a Resort Collection Sophie Theallet sundress (thumbnail), which, at the time it was purchased in late 2009, cost between $1K and $2K. Similar dresses from the Resort 2012 collection sell for that much and more. Source: Naked DC [...]
What kind of a narcissistic, egotistical SOB would pay two grand for a sun dress? You all know the answer. Election 2012.
Let Them Eat Cake !
Maybe they should just go to Ocean City for their vacation? They are the rulers of the countryuntry and are entitled to have a vacation.
Face it folks, your Capitalism is dying quick. What countries are still doing well in the economic mess? North Korea, China, Cuba, Venezuela etc. All communist countries. Until we transform completely to a communist light government, we will continue to fail. Mr Obama will be elected by a landslide in 2012 and the transformation will continue. Conservative dumb asses will continue to blog and post and do whatever, we will being organizing a massive vote.
OBAMA 2012, OBAMA 2016, OBAMA 2020,,it’s a comin!!!!
I guess you’re not familiar with polls, then. This assclown obama is hated now. His money-gobbling wife is not helping his crumbling image.
Oh what joy to watch him lose! What joy! His crowd will most likely start smashing store front windows and stealing stuff. Charge it to obama. Those are his people.
If YOU & your ilk are so enthralled with the communist way of life, please do our great Republic a favor and GTFO & go live in one of those *thriving* countries you named!
“They are the rulers of the countryuntry and are entitled to have a vacation.”
Um, the USA does not have rulers.
BTW, have you not noticed that both Communism and the jealous culture of entitlement that gives rise to Communism has utterly failed? And failed miserably?
Honestly, I can’t stand Obama, his wife, his children or their dog. It wouldn’t and doesn’t matter what they wear or eat. I just want their sorry no good asses gone!!!!
Right on!
Where is the lame stream media now? Why isn’t it busting the First Lady’s chops for wearing such expensive clothing? Or do they save that only for conservative women? Look at the way they ripped Sarah Palin for the cost of her wardrobe. This is a prime example of not only the First ladys hypocrisy but that of the lame stream media also.
It’s interesting – but not surprising – that the media gave so much play to Sarah Palin’s $125,000 wardrobe (actually purchased by ditsy Nicolle Wallace without Palin’s permission) and so little attention to Michelle Bachmann and her daughters leaving for Hawaii early on a separate plane at $100,000+. The Palin wardrobe was funded by the McCain campaign, while the taxpayers are stuck for Michelle’s extravagance.
Oops. Michelle Obama not Michele Bachmann. First time posting here.
Come on people, don’t believe everything you read or hear. We don’t pay for the dinner tab, we don’t pay for the hotels, etc. Being the President is a job that pays a salary. Even the food that the first family eats in their residence – not the state dinners, is paid for by the President. The lodgings for personal family vacations are paid for by the first family. According to presidential historians, and the accounting office at the end of each administration, no president has ever charged his personal family doings to this country…As for clothes – fancy dresses for the First Ladies are actually loaned or given to them by designers. Anything else they wear, they buy themselves- although I am sure they get a much better price than any of us could.
Now the transportation and security is a separate deal. We, the taxpayers, do foot the bill for that. Always have, always will.
Remember, the president makes $400,000/yr salary. There is no rent to pay, no electricity or other utilities, no travel, no gasoline, etc. That’s the same for every president. So there is a lot of money for these personal expenses. Is it wise to spend it so obviously? Perhaps. Do we know she actually paid that for that dress? Not necessarily. Many stores/designers/etc would KILL to get their brands on someone who is photographed so much.
Ooops, meant to say is it “UNWISE” to spend it so obviously…
Finally, someone with some sense. I am so tired of the media dogging out the First Family. They were wealthy before they became Mr. Obama became president and they are still wealthy. Just because they are in public office does not mean they nor their children need live like paupers. My husband and I frequently done at expensive restaurants with and without our children. I love designer outfits. That doesn’t make us insensitive to unemployed Americans. We work damn hard and make choices that allow us live the way we choose.
Get off Michelle’s back and go get a job!
I’m sure they’d love to get a job, but their President, who refuses to abide by his own admonition to “share the sacrifice,” has the kind of economic policies that will continue to fail them, thus perpetuating their unemployment.
$2000 for that rag? I could sew the same thing in about an hour for $20.00! What a crock!
Either the administration is clueless or is in support of the NWO Agenda. Both parties are owned parties controled by the NWO organization. It’s evil and must be destroyed. The Federal Reserve needs to be kicked out of our country and our constitution re-established. There is only one candidate that has this on his agenda, Ron Paul.
Perhaps she needs $2k worth of yardage to cover that giant *ss of hers.
good for Moochie. She can wear anything we want…buy anything she wants because of all the other money she saves by bilking the taxpayers. Whats the old quote? You can put rouge and lipstick on a pig and its still a pig.
How about the Secret Service men and women that might want to spend their holidays with family? I heard Bush stayed in DC mist of the big holidays for this purpose. Don’t know about Crawford trips but agents we know said Bush was very considerate of their family time.
michelle should take a few lessons from Jackie O. Wear hosery. Relax your face. With assessories, less is better. Never let the world see your armpits or your bare toes (it’s just gross). Don’t grab children by their faces, sneer like a chimp at them, clack your teeth, and wave your arms……..you’re a human, remember?
And finally. Michelle obama……..Get out of the spotlight. You’re oversaturated. The negative comments are the ultimate tell. The public is sick to death of you and all you’re going to get is a tidal wave of criticism. Get back in the kitchen and whip up a plate of grilled cheeses like you used to.
I remember all the Bush bashers compaining about everything the did and said. Now they think we should not complain about the Obama’s extreme spending, programs, and on and on. Everything these two do is extreme.
great reporting!!!!! these people are amazing. just so arrogant, unfeeling, and phoney.
FOUR AND OUT!!!! 4 AND OUT!!!!! FOUR AND OUT!!!! 4 AND OUT!!!!!
How dare they be black and wealthy in Public…
Both Michelle and Barack made more $$ in the private sector than they do now..
The President has given up his life by killing Osama Bin Laden. He and his family can never live a normal life again, as they are the most hated family in Muslim culture.. And this was done for people who called him the N- Word and said he was muslim.. What???!?? No apology for all the slanderous thing said about him..? He takes out OBL and the RACISTS on this page can only see his color. OBL was white (ARAB is considered “white” by the US state Dept).. Do you sit with our enemies or wit the US? You can disagree with the Pres on his policies, want him ouit of office… thats fine, but you folks in the GOP are starting to sound a lot like the guys I fought in Bosnia and the Gulf.
You’re starting to sound and smell like the very same fraud that barry is. You’re the first and only poster to bring up the ultra negative angle to barry’s religon and skin color….so stop being such a racist. Barry is taking his licks because of his lack of experience which has bled over to a failture to lead. He didn’t take OSB, the CIA did. Barry was too busy golfing and Valerie J. tried to halt the order. Barry hasn’t done anything that wasn’t already in the works. Just like his fat wife – who is claiming to have set the world jump rope record – being a small participant doesn’t entitle you to the grand wizard’s hat.
“World Jump Rope” organized and executed the record, not that obese mess in the WH.
YUP!
All I can say is C’monnnn man… by private sector do you mean the senate?
ChristianINDY: Obama and his team of tax cheats, crooks, and cronies, and his pal Tony Rezko were pulling in some big bucks before he was elected. Michelle’s patient dumping program should have been investigated by the leftist media. They obviously didn’t earn the money honestly; he isn’t running the country honestly. There’s nothing to brag about in regard to their past, present and I’m sure future.
I have just read every comment submitted here and yours, ChistianINDY, is the first to mention Obama’s color or race. All of the others have talked about the hypocrisy and proflagacy of the Obama family and Barack’s policies, but only you have dealt the racist card. I could, of course, be wrong and would be glad to apologize if you could please point out the racist comments made by the other commenters.
Waaaaaaaaaahhhhhh! Keep whining…Thank you very much!
Who wears a sundress to church?????
well, based on some of the comments above, not everyone got the chuckle from this that I did. That being said…thanks for this. you made my day a little brighter.
Pah! Who does he think he is? The President of the United States or something?
Fact: GW Bush took no vacations and when he did he paid for every cent and his wife and children wore nothing than burlap sacks from Kmart.
Oh wingnuts, the stupid never ends.
salvage…….You are the epitome of the apathy oozing out of every orifice of the left. This is your time, your boy is in charge. Why even troll the online sources only to go on the defensive for barry at all?
Why aren’t you outside, smashing in storefront windows and taking what is deservedly yours? Holder won’t dare prosecute a fellow dimwit. Now go…..steal something. You’re obama’s boy, remember? This is YOUR time to steal.
Lol….to all those that are carrying on about their church attire: It’s HAWAII!!. Ever been there? I guess not cuz then you would
know that that’s the WAY it’s done in Hawaii. People don’t even wear business suits in top management positions. Lol…it’s good
to be the critic master when you’ve never even left home!
As representatives of the United States, the first family does not bend their dress code to match local morays. As far as barry pretending he’s hawaiian, well, that’s what all the laughter behind the rope is about. As far as mooch pretending to play along with the hawaiian schtick…..that’s what all the negative comments are.
She’s parading around like an idiot. They could’ve stayed at Camp David and had 500 pizzas, 50 lbs of ribs, 17 cakes, and a boatload of lobsters flown in.
…and by the way, no, we’ve never been to Hawaii, we can’t afford that…
Wow – just a bunch of uninformed racists on this site!
What a bunch of uninformed racists the leftists were when they bashed Herman Cain.
Anyone who doesn’t like barry is a racist. We already know that. You’re miles behind your low moving herd of donkeys. Obama should resign today. The real Americans are reaching a boiling point with his spend spend spend mantra.
And his fat fugly wife isn’t helping obama much either.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Boooooooooooooo Whoooooooo.
Really, is that all you got? Da race card…
too funny
The race card. Notice how that’s not working anymore?
This tool is half white. He is a pathetic president. LOOK AT THE ECONOMY. He is in charge. He FINALLY has a record to be judged on and HE WILL BE FIRED.
I liked Herman Cain before he got ran off. Did I like him because he was black? Nope. Race doesn’t matter to Conservatives. The Left are fixated on race and gender because they have more control over “victim groups” than free thinkers.
Enjoy Barry and that “fit, international stle icon” while you can. He’s going to be fired. I guess you will then realize that Mooch is a fat hog that dresses like a circus clown.
WOW You are f****** awesome, thanks for the good laugh. This made my friday that much better….Speaking the truth thanks again you’ve just gained a new follower. And for the ChristianIND he made more in the private sector huh? The Senate being that sector c’mon man.
Congrats on the Drudge link! Nice job covers Lady McBeth. Happy New Year.
I love Drudge for turning us on to this site. Looks fun.
The Obamas were worth millions before Obama became president due to his book sales.
No, they were not.
The obamas (to this very day) do not own their own chicago house. And they were in debt when barry won his jr. seat as a senator.
Get your facts straight, soothsayer.
Bill ayers wrote “dreams of my drunken father” and it hasn’t made them any money, nor has a couple of really stupid children’s books either.
obama doesn’t know how to make money! Haven’t you figured that out by now?
No they were not. Shelly said it herself during the campaign; that they’d just finished paying off their student loans … *gag*.
Why the crtisism of our first Lady? It must be a slow week for the news dept if all they have for a story is what they think is the price of her dress.
Did they ask Mrs Obama what she paid?
No! So we are expected to take their word?
Why don’t they try and tackle some real stories, but I guess that is asking too much.
Ever watch an alligator tear into a dangling chicken? Nope…..If you’re so brave, why don’t you ask michelle obama yourself!
You know you’d be the chicken, right?
The maturity level of the Obama haters is now officially at the level of my four-year old nephew. You’re now making up lies and complaining about the First Lady’s clothes? And her figure? How much lower can the haters get? Plus, you are all so dishonest. Why don’t you write about your hidden, real reason for all this hatred? You HATE the fact that a black family is living in the White House. Plain and simple. You’re living an dishonest life until you come to grips with that reality.
“Mooochell, Obozo, Democraps, the First Wookie, MOOCHIE.” Name calling? Criticizing somebody for going to church? Really? Please, are there any intelligent people left on the right?
I’ll be glad when Obama gets re-elected next year. The hatred and jealousy that swirls around in your brains will swell and swell until your head explodes. That will be entertaining.
What? the obama’s are black? I didn’t know until you blew the whistle on them. Next time, climb up higher and tilt your racist trumpet toward the sun for a greater effect.
I didn’t know that Americans were jealous of and hated black people. That’s new to me.
What am I jealous of again?
Maybe I don’t like them, but they didn’t like me first.
LOL WhoME!! They always pull out the race card as their only defense… Throwing money away with such expensive trips is ridiculous given the state of our economy, be you white, or black, or otherwise…
Bush took a record 1,020 days off at Crawford, Camp David and Kennebunkport. That’s nearly three years on vacation, or more time off than JFK served as president.
Crawford and Camp David are/were fully operational Presidential offices, just not in DC. Somehow, I doubt that Obama’s been dragging entire war rooms along with him while he’s been on the golf course and basketball court.
Bush worked while at the White House and while away. Obama doesn’t even return phone calls. The man doesn’t work. Period. He golfs and vacations while imagining himself King of the Universe. Obama is on the dole, as are his devotees who live vicariously through the Obamas.
thats because obama wants to “epantisipate” himself from the blackberry he admits he can’t even figure out how to use.
He’s the joke of the century.
It was also a very secure location following 9-11. Oh, I forgot. Bush did that, didn’t he? How could I forget my tin foil hat?
Now remember folks – ANY criticism of King And Queen Obama from Chicago and
YOU will be BRANDED a “Racist.” The Royal Obama Family is as pure as the
driven snow…
So I was born white and wasn’t a racist until barry changed the definition to include: anyone born white is automatically a racist.
At least I’m rich.
Obama once told us
” we can’t drive our SUVs, eat as much as we want and keep our homes 72 degrees at all times we all must sacrifice.
Apparently he didn’t include himself in his sacrifice thingy.
Michelle Antoinette
Not really. Marie Antoinette was not only pretty, she dressed beautifully — and has been terribly misunderstood. The peasants who killed her are more like MO & BO.
It’s kinda funny that Michelle Obama goes shopping at Target and he buys all these clothes for her Hawaii Vacation and I would bet all the stuff she bought at Target was tossed in the trash when she got home. Everything they do is a staged-photo-opt.
It showed her checking prices in Target and trying to find the best deals. So comical.
Michelle is nothing like Jackie Kennedy, the only thing in common is they were both First Ladies.
I have no problem with Michelle spending all her money on expensive items, but I don’t think she is the role model she could be. Flying on separate planes to Hawaii cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and she should wait to fly in one convoy flight. The wasted money from Obama travel is unacceptable. They should be ashamed of themselves abusing the system the way they do.
Thank God they are only a One Term Couple.
In addition to the questionable class moves of this woman (which would be nothing if they weren’t hypocritical), there is another consideration that everyone is missing. This women is stupid. What self respecting, intelligent woman spends $2000 on a little white sun dress? I mean, I could understand some beaded couture ball gown that took hundreds of man-hours to make, but a white sun dress? A Chinese kids could have made that dress for $0.25 an hour and $4 worth of fabric. Hey, Michelle! I have a pet rock to sell you! Only $5,000!
Here Moochie Mooch – I’ve got some slightly used carbon credits for sale at rock bottom prices.
Love your P.S.!!
Thanks for the article and the laugh – first time I laughed reading the news today.
I am no fan of the Obamas, but she’s the First Lady of the United States for crying out loud — I’m glad she wears expensive clothes every once in a while rather. I have no issue with that whatsover.
How the heck is it disrespectful to bare your shoulders in a building dedicated to someone that doesn’t exist?
For the same reason we ask priests to wear full length dresses when christening our babies.
0bama and the donk 110th and 111th congresses have run our economic system into the ground while making themselves rich and spending like drunken sailors. Four million dollar gone.ats.
ladies and gentleman this is what a thugoracy looks like.
Laura Bush also spoke about the expense of keeping a proper “First Lady’s” wardrobe. She said the American people expect to see their First Lady in designer clothes, but that the wardrobe comes out of their personal budget, and that buying those clothes put a serious dent in their net worth. She was spending her own money, on clothes that never pegged anyone’s Barf-O-Meter. And I’ll bet my 401K that she never spent $500+ on a pair of shiny purple sneakers.
But Michelle Obama spends like there is a large money pipeline directly into her closet. She sports a $45,000 stack of bracelets, $300 t-shirts in which she paints, and most of her shoes are $800 or more a pair. That woman absolutely spends more than the president makes per year, just on her own wardrobe. They made like $5million last year, and it wouldn’t surprise me to find she spent half of that amount on what she considers clothing. I sincerely doubt that she’s actually spending her own money. They have a slush fund for everything else – I’m certain she’s spending our money for her heinous taste in clothing.
“If it’s purple, is shiny, and costs over $599.99, it MUST BE CLASSY~! ”
Thank you for touring michelle obama’s decision center, ladies and gentlemen.
I couldn’t care less how much her wardrobe costs…..I just wish she didn’t look so awful in it
it’s michelle’s choice to “show off” her linebacker shoulders and ever-widening arms, isn’t it?
With whom would you rather be caught in a natural disaster or crisis? Michelle and Barack Obama, or Sarah and Todd Palin?
Me too.
I can’t stand to hear grown men cry, so I’d go with the Palins.
Sorry to say it, but America just wasn’t ready for a black first family. I don’t remember anyone questioning the cost of Jackie O’s or Laura Bush’s designer outfits. The Obama’s are multi-millionaires who will get exponentially richer. What do you expect the First Lady to wear? Potato sacks? It is sad to watch this constant criticism of Mrs. Obama. For all the damage George Bush did to the country, very few people picked on Laura. But Laura was white.
And exactly what damage did Bush do to the country?
ASSHOLES !! – All of you. Obama won the election. Get over it.
Someone missed his nap today, I see.
Is this a serious question?? Does 700,000 jobs a month ring a bell? A trillion dollars blown in Iraq? Hello?
The Bush tax cuts, recession, and wars have driven the US TRILLIONS more into debt (and that’s AFTER he increased the national debt ~100% during his terms).
Really. . . . .”Bush tax cuts”
Wow. . . I mean. . . . . .wow. Somebody keeping their own money is considered “ruining the country.”
You live in the wrong nation pal.
Get over the race thing. It’s old. The Obama’s are laughing at everyone from Hawaii. A place most of her supporters will never see. They have lazy, fat, stupid, poor supporters who will vote him in again when he promises them $$$. He won’t deliver, they’re too stupid to understand. That’s how the dems like it!
Really? I’d have voted for Condoleezza Rice in a heart-beat. And guess what? Ms. Rice doesn’t dress like a welfare queen on a spending spree. Neither, by the way, does Mrs. Cain. Oh, that’s right, those woman have actually done honest work, unlike MO, who was, as a political favor, paid big bucks to patient dump in Chicago w/her good buddy, David Axelrod. She shoved her way through school as an affirmative action despot and lost her law license due to financial malfeasance. Admirable? Not by people w/decent standards.
So Michelle Obama dresses like a “welfare queen,” does she?
Nope, no racism there at all. lol
Deal with it. MO is the archetypal welfare queen. She spends other people’s money with reckless abandon.
Incidentally, there are plenty of white welfare queens too. Your typical Lefty racist condescending attitude is showing.
I could have made that dress w/less than $50 worth of fabric and a Simplicity
pattern.
Hey guys, lighten up! They’re royalty. And two grand doesn’t go as far as it used to.
The US doesn’t recognize “Royalty” in our governmental system…That’s why we don’t have a King…get it?
Panties? yes or no
Yeah, gigantic ones.
Mrs Reagan’s clothing was well commented about, and they were mostly on loan to her by designers. Sarah Palin heard about it around the world, how much was spent to keep her looking fashionable for a Presidential run.
Moochele, looks like a child in that white outfit. It is too short and the shoes are all wrong with it. She has no concept of fashion or design, or proper fit. Her clothes wear her. She should look at her daughter and take some lessons.
She should also stay from cardigan sweaters.
Totally no style. the woman has no class.. period!
Big effin deal. Who knows where or when she got the dress? Maybe it was given to her as a gift. Maybe by wearing the dress, the designer will be able to sell more dresses and contribute to our economy. (That’s sarcasm folks!) And just because she wears a designer dress one day doesn’t mean she can’t wear target the next day. My girlfriend loves Target. Shops there all the time. She also loves to shop at Nordstroms and Bloomingdales. I didn’t hear anyone complaining about George W Bush’s custom fit, hand made cowboy boots that probably cost over $1000 a pair. Or how about any president from Obama on down and the suits they wear? Those suits cost anywhere between $2000 and 10,000.
I guess you weren’t awake during the last administration. They were criticized for breathing. The wives of the republicans have every piece of jewelry appraised by the lefty media. I guess they have nothing else to do. Pathetic lot.
When Bush assummed the office, Laura spent a LARGE amount of money, almost immediatly. Of course, the left leaped at the chance to criticize how quickly Laura dipped into the White House funds and DEMANDED an accounting with FULL explanation! You can google this up if you don’t recall. SO! The money was spent on the White House china and silverware that the Clintons STOLE from WE THE PEOPLE when they departed. Laura tried to keep the theft quiet, for the sake of the office, BUT the demo Bush bashers DEMANDED to know. That mouse trap snaps HARD!
Many similarities between Carter and Obama….one BIG difference…..
The Carter’s walked the walk! The Obama’s are hypocrites!
Hey Hannah, I find liberals like you sickening. You need to stop thinking that everyone who attacks Obama is a racist. Have you ever stop to think that they just might hate his destructive, socialistic, extreme liberal policies thats extremely bad for this country. I know that I HATE everything that Obama stands for. Oh, bye the way, I happen to be BLACK!!! Stupid.
sharon/bka-ladymcbeth
Just another comment for you to approve.
Congrats on the Drudge link.
Living proof that shows that just because you live in the Whitehouse, class is not automatically bestowed upon you! These people are the most classless individuals I have ever seen, and I for one am extremely embarrassed by their antics! I can’t wait to see them gone…
You have to wear your waistline under your boobs, when you have a big rear pushing the dress upward.
Steve@98 – it’s a close call with Moochelle and HILLiARY on the classless thingy.
Agreed, Hillary is just as classless as the Obama’s…
With a significant difference:
Purple pantsuited, what the heck does my hair exist for Hillary does NOT position herself as Jackie 2.
High fiving jump jacking angry browed fist bumping Michelle, w/a behind the size of Toledo and her ill fitting, awful clothing DOES consider herself Jackie 2. Only better dressed.
She is a cringe inducing embarrassment to have as a FLOTUS.
Obama = Herbert Hoover
Whoa……Thanks for the picture….I needed a good laugh. It’s the perfect cover up the Mooche’s huge caboose.
That fancy cloth is expensive! How many yards to make that dress?
She could wear a $200,000 dress and she’d still look like a frumpy gym teacher.
What shame these two have brought to America…but it was Americans who brought this upon themselves by electing this fraud! Hope you do better next election America…there is a man available who loves this country…Ron Paul will make you proud again!
A leader is supposed to lead by example…clearly the Obama’s aren’t.
I am really, really, really sick of reading people trash Bush. No, he wasn’t perfect but
he wasn’t the worst one. His heart was for this country..period. And..if he ever
ran again, I would vote for him. You libs can take that and do whatever…
I have NEVER heard of or seen your site. I was drawn there by a caption on Drudgereport due to my complete disgust and dislike for the current administration and its leaders Obozo and Moochelle. Nuff said…..
Keep up the good work and keep us informed on the things the Obummer’s media will not cover! I LOVE NAKEDDC!
Best,
NAKEDENVER!
Congrats on the Drudge link
The cackling hens on The View excoriated Sarah Palin’s “excessive” spending on wardrobe, while simultaneously holding up Michelle Obama as a paragon of virtue for her “thrifty” spending. What a crock.
P.S. HOLY SH*T ON A STICK! We got a Drudge link!!! And here we thought we could spend the whole freaking day in pajamas watching a Tudors marathon on the BBC…but noooooooo. We’re approving comments as they come in!
That’s just funny! Congrats — sort of, I guess….
The photo suggests that Malia’s dress is the more costly – since she is closer to the camera. It’s unfair to malia to suffer even for one second, that people think her hunchback drives up the price of a simple sundress.
Why won’t michelle obama share her food with malia anymore?
Leave this lady alone. I did not vote for Obama, I voted for John Mcain- for the sole reason that when his captures tried to let him go, he stated he would stay until his men were all let go. In return he go a broken jaw, broken arm, nerve damage for life and then some…..You can tell alot about a persons character when they are looking into the abyss. Most of you neh-sayers on here are looking into the abyss and your true character is showing. How sad for you. Who are you to say what a person should where or not? She owes you no explanation. You think because she takes a trip and the Washington Post claims that it cost 4 million dollars of tax payers money you have the right to take bad facts and make bad character assasinations. In case you did not know it all Presidents pay for their own food, cloths, and personal travel. The amount of money spent to protect and serve the first family remains the same for all First families. The cost may vary from one trip to another to accomodate security and so on, however the annual cost to support security, transportation, and accomodations is alotted from a fixed budget approved by congress. Most notably the GOA listed The budget for first lady Barbra Bush far exceeded anything the current first lady had spent to date. Of course you have to look that up and fact check, and all that…..
Finally a conservative that makes sense here. What I don’t understand is this upsurge in much of the right to have leaders who act, talk and dress just like everyone else. Whether conservative or liberal, I expect our leaders to be of the elite breed. The last thing you need in the most important job in the country are regular folk like you and me. The anti-elitist sentiment here, is anti excellence. If you owned a pro sports team, would you want your athletes to be anything less than elite athletes? If you were a shareholder, would you expect your CEO to be anything other than an elite business man? If you picked a man to go into outer space, would you want it to be Joe Six Pack or is Jack Armstrong too out of touch with the people? Would you’d rather have a non-descript shopkeeper instead of the great conservative, Winston Churchill, to lead their country through WW2?
Nice catch, and a snicker-inducing read! I sure wish the race/religion stuff would go away. They are not even in the top 10 of reasons this presidency is ruining us! Mr. Obama was a junior senator from Illinois who didn’t write legislation, chaired a committee that never met, and voted PRESENT for more than HALF of the legislation presented during his term. I still believe that, if Mike Ditka had agreed to run for that seat, Mr. Obama would still be teaching law.
To me, the question isn’t whether the First Lady should wear designer fashions, she should! She is representing the United States when in public, and she absolutely should look her best. That being said, she needs to fire her wardrobe consultant immediately! Honestly, Ms. Obama has always looked like she was just trying way too hard to be stylish. Usually, that results in the garish, poorly fitting outfits we see on her. STOP TRYING SO HARD!! Study some of the past First Ladies and how they supported their husbands rather than trying to outshine them. Whether she paid full price for the frock in question isn’t the real puzzler here…it’s WHY!
Taking two separate Air Force plane sets, along with the required security and staff, is utterly ridiculous in this time of economic hardship. Taking 17 days of vacation at the start of the election year is ridiculous. Being absolutely out of touch with the average American…ridiculous! The First Family of Ridiculous!!
Nancy Reagan couldn’t borrow a designer dress for a state event without the media / lefties getting all over her case. This one can do that and much, much more – how about the $40k in jewelry? It’s not about whether or not she’s got the right to be feckin’ stupid enough to blow $2k on a sundress, it’s about the hypocrisy of the media douchebags turning a blind eye to the hypocrisy of these two winners. I’ve got less than zero respect for either one of them, in my book entering politics to get rich and spend other people’s money is far, far worse than getting an eduction and working your way up to CEO.
I was shopping in Target today and didn’t come across any Sophie Theallet sundresses or otherwise. What a farce. The media plays into spinning the web of lies otherwise know as Obama. Moochelle gorges herself on plates of ribs, ice cream, $1500 bottle wines, $1000 sneakers, etc. and she has the adacity to tell us to eat grass, live in the dark, and wear sweaters. These monarchs need to be deposed.
i do not like the president’s agenda at all; but i think the first family is quite lovely. yes, even michelle. she’s really not all that bad. but i do take issue with the report of the cost of her dress; i have it on good authority she bought that dress at target; i even saw pictures of her shopping there. so i’m sure that dress did NOT cost over $1k. at any rate, seriously, they have very cute kids so do leave the kids alone. michelle gets into trouble because she just can’t stop telling everyone else how to live [or barely exist] while she literally lives like a queen; and us poor normal earth people just don’t take too kindly to that kind of down-talkin, ya know?
I sure wish you people would leave Mr. Obama and his lovely family alone. He is doing, and has always done, whats best for him and his lovely family/friends/cronies/financial supporters/muslims/heads of other countries/blacks/non whites and socialists world wide. All he wants for Christmas is 1.2 trillion dollars, a nice peaceful all expenses paid vacation and my kids/grand kids and great grandkids income. Geez….give the “man” a break already.
I’ll bet she bought it at Target!
Honestly, you can’t dress-up the fact that Ms. Obama is apparently unaware her lavish vacation spending isn’t recieved well with the majority of Americans who are hurting under her husband’s transformational policies.
So much conversation about dresses; when gas has doubled and BO reacts by practically stopping all domestic drilling. Unemployment is much higher than the reported 8.6% and BO stalls the Canada/USA pipeline until after the 2012 election. Our economy is on life support and BO racks-up debt at a record pace spending at least $850 billion on political payback. BO makes himself out to be a big tax cutter by forcing the Republicans to extend the current “tax holiday” for two months instead of the year he initially wanted and they had passed. BO plants a pro healthcare ringer on the Supreme Court after passing the democratic abomination of a healthcare bill in the dark of night on Christmas eve…
The list of agregious behavior most foul never ends and is certainly more important and worthy of our attention than the dress some awkward bozo babe should choose to wear on her $4 mil+ vacation.
Living large on the taxpayers dime. Imagine Nancy Reagan doing this. She got blasted for wanting the White House to have enough complete sets of china for a State Dinner, and was fundraising in the private sector to help offset the cost. I mean, she got lambasted all over the press for being uncaring, crass, out-of-touch, elitist, and pretty much everything else in the class-warfare handbook. The Obamas have not only blown up this nation’s debt to generational levels, but have stifled the private sector with a huge, looming tax burden and complete uncertainty about any future tax rate or policy, and they are living it up like they are a couple of big-time Hollywood actors. They are an absolute disgrace to the office of the President of the United States and a national eembarassment.
It’s about decorum, good manners, being respectful and compassionate. When people are suffering due to lack of resources you don’t flaunt your resources in their faces, especially if you are their leaders.
Good judgment and good taste – both lacking in this administration.
I saw that dress at T.J. Maxx when my wife and I were looking for some new clothes. So much for “Shared Sacrifice” and “Fair Share”
It’s like having Marie Antoinette married to Emperor Nero. Thank you Republican party for doing your best to get him re-elected. We would have been better off if “Generic Republican” could actually be on the ballot in 2012.
BTW, this blog is hilarious. Sarcasm is my favorite!
Well, we can see where most of our country’s money is going. To dresses that get thrown away after they are on camera by the paparazzi.
The Obama’s have a lot of money, courtesy of the public offices Mr. Obama has held (made his money off his books and friends like Tony R. So she can spend her money on squid pasta and lobster, ten thousand dollar a day homes, $500 tennis shoes and pricey resort wear. I just wish she was more of a lady, practiced common sense in many areas, had tact, grace and style, and was not such an over bearing, know-it-all, preachy self-righteous noveau gauche witch with a gigantic boulder on her shoulder.
Dam if I didn’t know better I would think you know her personally cause you hit the nail on the head. Well done.
Obamas do have a lot of money, but if you think they are spending it on their vacation you are being very naive…their Hawaii vacation is costing US 10 million dollars…..
I would expect no less of Mrs. Nero. Is President Putt-putt taking up the fiddle?
Eat your peas peasants! The Mooch will not be denied her private Air Force 2 jet rides, her 4 million dollar vacations, the lobster, vodka, sparkling wines and expensive clothing!
Eat your peas!
LOL……LOVED your article and glad you made the Drudge Report=) Congratulations…..Happy New Year!
Why is so much attention in the media about Michelle’s spending habits? They are fairly wealthy. Usually the wealthy are defended on this site, providing they’re Republican parts of the 1 percent. She has money so let her spend it. That’s how the economy works!
No, she doesn’t have the money. Neither do we. That’s the problem. This is taxpayer money, and we are over 16 trillion dollars in debt. Our economy is bad, and is worse than is being reported. Millions of our fellow citizens have lost their jobs, their homes, and their hope because of her husband’s policies, which are intentionally designed to hurt us this way (after 3 years, you can no longer argue that his policies have done anything but damage the economy and that this must be his intention since he keeps on ratcheting it up). The Obama’s make no pretense at sacrifice – they don’t even take the same jet when they go on vacation! We are told this if the fault of “millionaires and billionaires” not paying their “fair share”, yet tho Obama’s exemplify the very lifestyle they blame for our problems in their class-warfare rhetoric (try substituting “bourgeois” for “millionaires and billionaires”, and “proletariat” for “working families” to understand the class warfare aspect). The only way someone can defend them is to abandon any pretense truth and honesty to say that this is normal for Presidents and First Ladies, which it most certainly is not, and that the Obamas are far from being the worst at it.
Whatever. I get the whole hypocritical thing and all, but if that dress is really worth that much she is not only not that attractive, she’s not that smart. That dress is not “all that” and it isn’t flattering to her figure. I don’t get it… at all.
ok, put the PJ’s back on and approve this comment.
All of America is not poor. I make a modest income and periodically, here and there, I’ll spend a ridiculous amount on an outfit. I have no debt because I have always lived within my means…I CAN afford my house because I did the math myself on what I can afford. I sure wish the rest of America didn’t have this bizarre sense of entitlement. The bulk of you are the reason that the Barack has the most difficult job in the world. Enjoy your vacation buddy because god knows we Americans are a greedy self entitled bunch that will need your leadership to come out of this.
They are not attractive people in any way they are actually quite unattractive. But come on how stupid is she to pay that kind of money for an ugly dress? The least she could do while spending tax payer money is where something pretty which she has yet to do. As far as the girls are concerned-leave them alone-they didn’t run for office and haven’t done anything to anyone other than be born to two losers.
How about instead of griping about their continual wasting of taxpayers hard
earned money for WH parties, clothes and jaunts to international locales, we
focus on what’s actually important like the fact that Obama just signed a Act
which effectively & “officially” does away with due process for Americans and
posse comitatus, shall we?
In April,
I went from making $60K a year to a gracious $1,200/mth. unemployment check… didn’t even pay the mortgage. I hope Bitchface is enjoying my money.
i liked barack, didnt care for michelle but thats a nice dress, i dont mind so much the money but the hypocrisy is def distasteful

People are easily duped because they want to be. Michelle paid just over $200 for the dress and
she looks great in it.
Darn I thought the boob belt was the style!
wow, you repubs are stretching to find any morsel because you are so desperate with your backs on the wall. all you have left is Rick Santorum. First of all, the vacation is normal procedure of security and aircraft that any president would be required to use. what, the president and his family should not have security? they should fly coach on Delta? This is the president, no matter GOP or Dem, hes one of the most powerful people on earth, and a constant target. Bush or anyone else would do the same thing. This is 4MM vacation non-news item is dumb propaganda for gullible desperate obama haters.
As for the dress, its not paid with taxpayer dollars, so can it. If she did go out in a frumpy target dress, then everyone would criticize her for looking unpresidential and the tabloids would have a field day. the first lady, like every first lady around the world, needs to look successful in front of the camera, because she is always a symbol. Nancy Reagan did it at just as great expense. Baglady Bush Sr – well they never let her in front of the camera, but Laura looked elegant typically too, at great personal expense as well. All presidents and family need too look good all the time
Lastly, if you think Obama is about distribution of wealth, you dont read very well. He is a champion of the middle class, whereas all the republican candidates have clearly shown they are shilling for their money makers (except Huntsman and Paul, who have a shred of dignity left). And clearly he is not against wealth, he and his buddies are quite wealthy. There’s nothing wrong with wealth.
Awww. That’s nice for them. I, on the other hand, lost my job on 11-11-11. It’s going to be a rough 2012 for me and a lot of other Americans. Clothes shopping is out of the question. All I have is hope, and a little change…
Wow, I’m not a fan of Obama but a lot of you are a bunch of petty , sad people. lol
[...] Naked D.C. had a piece I just have to share so click here for a bit of irony.

Probably. It’s a known fact that Pee Wee Herman taught Obama how to ride a bike, so it’s not much of a stretch to assume he dresses Michelle.
I could have made that dress out of a white bed sheet, a zipper and some ribbons for less than 50 bucks plus my fee. She wears clothes as if her waist were under her boobs because she is not curved in where her actual waist is. Her stomach bulges in the front and her butt bulges in the back. The higher belted garments with full skirts distract the onlooker from these facts. Same reason she goes sleeveless. Watch for more photoshopped pics like those in the White House Christmas spread. This woman would be a nightmare to sew for.
Does this article say “Noted Economist????????????????????????? HAH HAH HAH
I’m just curious as to whether that shite-on-a-stick was deepfried? If so, I think I had that at the State Fair last year.
We pay attention to what the First lady is wearing and criticize it because we are pretty angry at our Fearless Leader right now over the atrocious state of our economy.
But the beauty of being American, and living in our Great country, is that we CAN criticize our first family publicly without being afraid of being pulled out of our beds in the middle of
The Obama’s vacation works out to $9,800 per HOUR! This at a time when so many Americans have not been able to go on the simplest family vacation for YEARS. Others are out of work and worrying about how they will keep food on the tabe and a roof over their heads. I could take my family of four on a great, week-long break for about half of what they are spending per hour.
They shw their aloof disdain for We The Eople on a daily basis. They are obviously milking the Presidency for whatever they can get out of it at OUR expense.
People, PLEASE remember this when you vote next November.
women should be allowed to wear whatever they want to church or anywhere else. Geez in case you are not up with fashion, the nun necklines and long skirts are no longer in fashion. all of you here saying that they should not wear that to church are no different than domestic violence batterers. Get some help!!! OBAMA 2012!!!
it’s one thing to criticize the president and first lady and their spending habits, but quite another to talk about her body. the comments to her size and what she should cover are ridiculous. it should never be okay to criticize a person’s body, small or large.
jacqueline bouvier married jfk in an off-the-shoudler gown and often wore very similar sundresses. she was known to wear mini-dresses, even. mrs. obama’s dress is demure and very tasteful, as she usually looks.
keep the comments political, not personal and vicious, i say.
2008 debt was 8 Trillion
2011 debt is 16.7 Trillion
Obama has looted-stolen-lost 8.7 Trillion from the US Treasury.
Get a life already. Hawaii is Barak’s home turf. Did you criticize Bush for going home to Texas for the Holidays? And so what if she has a two thousand dollar dress on. She can afford it. Unlike some first ladies of recent vintage, she had a real job and made real money on her own. And considering the President’s income, a 2k dress that looks great on your wife, is a good investment. Imagine the repercussions if she wore an ill fitting Chinese knock off. You’d be crying about how blue light special she looks. Considering people routinely spend over 50k on cars, thousands on watches, even more so on something as innocuous as jewelry, it sounds like you’re just getting petty. Mens suits routinely cost more than 2K and I don’t see you urging male politicians to go off the rack. If you don’t like their politics then go on about that, but to nitpick about her dress and style, indicates some deep rooted insecurities on your part. You give us conservatives a bad name. It’s time to bring the party back to purposeful thinking and steer clear of the personal powder room gossip.
LOL, I taped the BBC America Tudors-thon to watch after work when I saw your link on Drudge. Great minds think alike – kudos to your Drudge link, love the website – I will be back!
Ahh… All of those suckers who voted for this clown and his phony wife.
Does he understand common people? No. Obama (and wife) understand the regular people like hitler understood jews.
Don’t be suckered again.
But, I do have to say that Obama makes Hillary look very good…
it is a shame that people worry about what the presidents wife wears, the lady was rich before she became the first lady, you act like she stepped out of the ghetto u racist people, the woman went to freakin princeton. Americans sweep around your own front door before you try to clean someone elses house. Thats 3 tours iraq and 4 tours afghanistan so i think i have a right to express how i feel to all you tea party lames.

My ol’ lady looks a lot better in the dress she made from $10 worth of cloth! It is pretty insensitive of the Obamas to flaunt their use of the nations wealth while people are taking less vacations, staying closer to home and stretching their dollars. In 2008 I could buy a shopping cart full of groceries and a couple of pizzas for $100. Now $100 buys a handbasket worth of groceries and a slice of pizza!
In my lifetime most presidents have vacationed at home or at Camp David, especially the Republican ones.
I retired after I paid off my house in 2006 but even without the house payment it became harder to make ends meet so I’ve had to reenter the workforce.
It is not the millionaires not paying their fair share, it is the sense of entitlement that the Obamas and Pelosis have with our tax dollars that is outrageous.
Please Mrs Obama stop wasting my tax dollars on your extravagant lifestyle so maybe my wife can afford a new dress next year.
Untill then support the American worker: BUY NON-UNION made products that you haven’t already subsidised, they are better made and less expensive.
As others said, it’s not the necessarily the clothes that anger people. . . .
It’s the hypocrisy that is angering.
While they flounce off on another 4 million dollar vacation. . . Obama plays his class warfare. . . . .and “everyone has to sacrifice”. . . . .but there’s the Obamas. . . .off again. . . .not seeing the “sacrifice” that he demands other do. . . .
Michelle eating at Kelly Liken’s in Vail, red meat and carmalized fats, but tells the rest of you how/what you should eat and the size of your portions.
Meanwhile, after her boondoggle of a Spain trip, we were treated to stories about the Obamas reimburse for this, that. . . .and then we find out, Michelle lists the children as “advisors” so they don’t have to reimburse for the 5 star hotels/food/travel.
She’s scamming the taxpayers while her husband sanctimoniously lectures us about “sacrifice.”
We heard about his wednesday private concerts at the whitehouse for his kids, which is estimated to cost us 10 million dollars by the end of the year. . . .while the cost of just one of their meals they will eat in Hawaii could probably feed a struggling family in America right now for a month. . . . .
It’s the hypocrisy. . .the “Marie Antoinette” attitudes of the Obamas that are angering and grating.
The worst part is, if it weren’t for our nation, and our economic mobility, the Obamas wouldn’t be where they are today. They’re not old money, legacy families. . . .if we had the old “cast” system, neither of them would be successful today if not for our economic mobility.
But now that they are successful, Obama wants to determine who else gets to be successful. . . now that he has his, “bar the door, katy!” The system he benefited from suddenly isn’t good enough for the rest of us, and now he should get to decide who wins and who loses.
“Pay your fair share” while he flounces around having played the equivelent of 3 months of golf. . . .”everyone has to sacrifice” while his wife scams the taxpayers. . . . .he whines about wanting more money for the government while he shovels it out the door to his big wealthy campaign buddies. . . . .and now wants another 1.2 trillion. . . . .while we have record numbers of children on food stamps, he deliberately hammers jobs in the US while humping the same drilling jobs in Brazil. . . .his administration gives the finger to the federal courts on releasing drilling permits, and his DOJ sues states left and right. . . . .
2012 can’t get here soon enough. Then, no one will care what they wear, or where they go, or what they eat. . . . . .nor what they say. . . . .the “Marie Antoinettes” of the whitehouse can go back to private life, and be some of the “little people” again. . . .
Boy won’t that be a relief. . . never having to worry what is going to come dribbling out of this guy’s mouth. . how he will hammer our nation’s economy, jobs, and businesses. . . . .imagine what a relief for the nation that will be. . . . .
Nice dress. I’d rather see her sport the clothes she buys rather than play-acting shopping at Target. She and Obama have achieved their dream – royalty and celebrity status for life.
I encourage everyone to go to church! It is the substance of our hearts, minds and souls we ‘wear’ in to church that counts.
Obama appears to be a fine family man. He is a total failure as a leader and commander-in-chief. He has confessed to Barbara Walters in his interview that he has a character defect of laziness which he is ashamed of and despises in others as well. You can see it in his presidency. It is a catastrophic failing for a person taking on the most demanding and critical job in the world.
We have allowed Obama to be the individual who made the “First Black American President” achievement for the history books. What a shame that it was this particular black American who was selected for us. He has made a poor showing and even the media has a task to hide his incompetence.
Who cares about the dress or the woman wearing it. The problem is that nice lazy family man who plays golf while America fades away.

It’s absolutely disgusting how hypocritical Obama and Michelle are. Acting like they’re for the interests of the average American when they turn around and brush shoulders with the very affluent people that Obama criticizes against. Meanwhile, Michelle takes a scheduled ‘surprise’ visit to a local Target that just ‘happens’ to have the AP there to ‘coincidentally’ snap a shot of her checking out some products for us peasants and then turns around and flaunts this ugly sundress that apparently costs as much as some people’s entire credit line. They claim that public schools are wonderful and that the union teachers and administration throughout the nation are doing a bang up job while at the same time, insisting to keep their daughters in one of the most expensive private schools in the country. I don’t want to hear one liberal complain about Bush adding to the deficit when Obama has spent more taxpayer dollars then EVERY president before him COMBINED and trillions more on top of that! This is apparently the face of the left, if they’re actually proud of this jackass screwing this country then they themselves are no better as they’re basically condoning that these two people alone have gambled trillions of the nations future on failed policies and specifically pampering themselves. Whether they paid for it or added it to the nation’s tab, it completely surpasses any criticism that liberals have expressed in the behavior of any Republican both progressive, moderate or conservative. Vote for another four years of this and you’ll surely be voting for an inevitable default on the nation’s debt and this country will never be able to recover from that any time soon.

CONGRATULATIONS on your BIG Drudge Linkie!
I only have to clarify one teensy little point about Lady M’s sun frock. Sure, it cost more than most 99%ers gross in a month. Butt, as I’ve documented here, she has warn it in public, for us to enjoy, at least 3 times. By recycling, we lower the net cost to something much more affordable. More like what your average 99%er makes in a couple of weeks.
When they are fired next year, can he also get unemployment? What kind of job is he qualified to do?
What kind of job can she do? Oh My!
Golf Pro.. Fashion Model..Vacation Planner…Anyone Hiring?
Quit picking on her “DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO” mentality. She’s doing it for the chiiiiiiiillllllldren! They must eat an all veggie diet so she can have her ba-ba-Q ribs. Someone HAS to sacrefice, for the good of all.
King Obama is getting his while he can. Who knows how long the gravy train will last. Isn’t that normal for Democrats? Clinton’s did the same thing. Michelle is a horse in expensive clothing but the press keeps trying to tell us differently. Makes me sick that 40% of country thinks Obozo is doing a good job. His leadership style is THUG.
I am glad you are continuing the great critical coverage of First Family clothing. Like you did when disparaging the expensively dressed Bush wives and, of course, those pricey frocks worn by Ol’ Nancy for her meetings with her Astrology readers and psychics.
Wives and children of Presidents are just horrible, rotten, evil people who deserve all the vitriol you have especially since you are so even handed in your attacks and hyperbole. Bravo!

You people are all a bunch of a**holes. Doesn’t anyone remember Nancy Reagan and her Valentino wardrobe and Laura Bush’s Oscar de la Renta silk pantsuits?
The Obamas can afford those clothes. Every time Michelle Obama wears something from Talbots, H&M, J Crew, White House/Black Market it sells out, a positive thing in this economy. And she wears those things as often as the designer clothes. And she repeats clothes in public, something that other first ladies were not in the habit of doing.
There are plenty of things to berate politicians for; this is not one of them.
First — I do not like this administration and never will. Having said that, the man is visiting his relatives. His family is living there. How many of you people went home for Christmas. He has a right to go home for Christmas. B—h about something else. If you were the Prez, you would be using all the taxpayer’s money running all over the place and you know it, so find an outlet to do some good and gripe about something that someone really cares about!! And who is the fashionesta who is doing all this pricing of the wardrobe??? How much money are you making for all your vitrolic raging ? LIke I said, find a blog that will do some good and gripe on that. You might make a difference – but I doubt it. No one likes to listen to people running other people down — I don’t care who it is.
If you don’t like it, leave. No one is making you stay here and post.
Second of all, your comment of “you would be using taxpayer money running all over the place and you know it” somehow isn’t a convincing argument.
You completely forget that this is Obama. And Obama is the one who is sanctimoniously lecturing people on “pay your fair share”. . . . .
He’s also the one who says “don’t go and blow a lot of money in vegas” or on a vacation, etc.
You’re missing the point of the sanctimonious hipocrisy of Obama and his family. The funniest part is, his wife is undermining his message.
He has family in Hawaii? Really? I’m not aware of any family he has in Hawaii.
Bush went home to Texas. Obama isn’t going home to his house in Illinois. They go to Martha’s Vineyard, they goes to the Hamptons, they go to Vail Colorado, Hawaii. . . . .

“‘The President’s advisers have told him that Michelle’s spending has spiralled “completely out of control”,’ one source told the National Enquirer.
‘Barack read his wife the riot act, but his words fell on deaf ears. Michelle said there was “no way” she was going to disappoint her daughters.’”

It’s from the UK online. . . . .apparently Obama himself wanted to go to Camp David for a short vacation.
As I said, his own wife is undermining his message. . . . and a first family that is living like Marie Antoinette is not going to inspire a nation to follow Obama. . . . . .it simply looks to the nation like he thinks he’s better than us. . . . .
Articles already coming up about how Obama doesn’t think you can be trusted with “freedom” as he sanctimoniously declares this or that, how the government should decide what you drive, how much electricity you should use, what light bulbs you should use. . . . . .
And there they go, off on another swanky vacation. . .and his flight alone will cost the taxpayers almost 4 million dollars. Thaaaaaaaaat’s right. . . not only will her flight and security et al be over 4 million, his flight alone is now adding almost 4 million to the costs of the trip. . . . .
This will be theeeeeeeeeee most costliest trip so far. . . . . .
Hey, makes you appreciate Bush going back home to his ranch and cleaning/cutting brush. . . . . . .Bush was a bargain compared to these two.

HYSTERICAL report! I can’t stand the Oblidiots to begin with. So that along with Michelle’s fat ass go without saying… You somehow made it all fresh and funny! Thank you for that! Grats on the Drudge link!!!!!

Stop picking on our “royal” first family. Just go and eat cake.

(Back to the headline)
What’s the point of being Queen if you can’t take an occasional day off and gather a few perks?
Let us not forget Baroness Pelosi, whose $10k/night hotel suite is certainly nothing more than befits her elevated station.
You’ll all have to pardon MO for the bare shoulders in church. She and the President have never been much for churches (except for Jeremiah Wright’s (whose 20 years worth of sermons Obama seems to have slept through – or maybe it was because he was working out how to win the next election)), so they don’t understand the protocol.
In Spain, for example, if she went in like that, they’d turn her around and send her back out.

Apparently. . . . .this latest vacation flap is causing something of a problem for the whitehouse advisors.
From the UK on line:

‘Barack read his wife the riot act, but his words fell on deaf ears. Michelle said there was “no way” she was going to disappoint her daughters.’

She flounces around to Spain. . . .we’re told “the first family reimburses for. . . . ” but then we find out, she listed her kids as “advisors” so she didn’t have to reimburse for the 5 star hotels/food/travel.
Scamming the taxpayers. . . .as Obama himself lectures us on “sacrifice” and “pay your fair share”. . . .
Then we’re treated to an interview where Michelle says “it’s only practical that I put myself at the top of my priority list”. . . . . .which would be fine if she were a private citizen, inflicting her selfishness on just her own family, but she’s inflicting her selfishness on the nation, at the expense of the taxpayers, who are hurting.
Lets face it, this “Marie Antoinette” Michelle behavior and his sanctimonious hypocrisy is just not going over well with the nation.
Record numbers of children on food stamps, an under/unemployed rate of over 16%. . .estimates that if everyone that “fell off the rolls” jumped back in, actual unemployment would be closer to 11%. . . .which means the under/unemployment number is probably closer to 20% (depression era numbers)……
But there is Obama. . . .golfing non stop (totalling 3 months of golf so far), his wife is rumored to be a “vacation” freak. . . .she comes back from one trip and rumor has it she immediately starts planning another trip. . . . .
Her spending is causing issues with Whitehouse advisors. . .
Lets face it. . . . .Obama is a boondoggle. . . . his wife is just as selfish and narcissistic as he is.
Bush always went back to his ranch in Texas to clear brush. Bush was a bargain deal compared to these two and their mentality of entitlement.
Funny, these two only went back to their “house” in Illinois once, that I can locate.
Won’t it be nice after the 2012 elections to have a president that understands how the nation is in economic pain? Won’t it be nice to have someone who doesn’t flaunt the nonstop trips, while lecturing everyone how they have to “sacrifice”. . . ..while he shovels taxmoney out the door to his wealthy donors. . . like Solundra, Energ1, and a no bid contract for 233.00/dose for a vaccine we don’t need and already have a stockpile at 3.00/dose?
Obama wants another 1.2 trillion. . . . just “sacrifice” for the government, and it’s all going to be ok. . . . . meanwhile they flounce off to another Hawaiian vacation, which looks like it’s going to come in at around 7 million dollars . . . . . courtesy of us.
It’s going to be wonderful once this guy is back in the private sector, and no one will care what he and his wife say, wear, eat, go. . . . . .and they can pay their own way from now on. . . . . .
I see why most foreigners think Americans are idiots, because most of us are. You guys sit and worry about who paid for a dress the 1st Lady is wearing. The Obama’s are worth millions and they did not get it from you the tax payers. Why should she wear welfare rags just because we are in a recession. Nancy Reagan purchased 100,000 worth of China and wore 5,000 couture suits every day and there was a recession. It is shear ignorance to think that they don’t need to vacation. Jealousy is an ugly thing. And Hawaii is one of the United States….the Obama’s have spent Christmas there every year, and if he is no longer President they will still spend Christmas on Hawaii…get over it. I have been to Hawaii many times, if you envy them because you can’t afford to go…tough. They take AF One to Hawaii once a year and America can’t handle it. And to talk about his experience I know of about 22 Al Queda men who wish Bush was still president, because he lacked the ambition or strategic planning to go after them and kill the people who caued 9/11.
I don’t ever play the race card, but I smell racism in America. The idea that this African American man was elected President has brought out the racism in a lot of Whites. Don’t deny it….Bush kicked butt and you loved it…you are complacent as long as someone White is stealing and abusing your rights. Vote a Republican in and you will know what poverty and slavery is…….I already know.
I won’t deny that I am a racist because it would do no good to do so. Apparently, one can find many AA folks just wonderful and admirable but if you don’t like the Obamas, you are a racist.
Hmmm.
I must add that whoever wrote the article lacks facts. There is no 2,000 sundress . Those are Target dresses. THe writer has been successful in stirring up hatred and dividing a group of people that lack the ability or desire to think for themselves.
It is nauseating to read some of the comments. Personally attacking the first family. The wealthy have suckered you, there are no jobs because of Congress not passing a bill. Boehner and the Republicans will destroy all of America to get one job. They don’t care about you be you Black or White. If you are not a millionaire you are an unwanted human in their world. The one thing President Obama has consistently done is speak up for the poor, middle class and the elderly. You don’t hear any other candidate doing that. Yea go ahead, you mad at Obama, vote Newt who already shut down the government and spends 60,000 at Tiffany’s for a necklace. Or Mitt who has 8 houses and remodeling the one in california because 20,000 sq feet is too smalll.
You deserve what you get. Vote for one of those selfish Billionaires and you will be doomed to unemployment and taxes on the poor and middle class. Trickle down economics. Do like the people in Florida and Wisconsin..yea they voted against the man in office and look what they got.
I am curious; how do you know how much the dress costs?
BTW-I am happily employed.
Thanks
BTW-Neither Gingrich nor Romney is a billionaire, not that there is anything wrong with that.
Nor, with writing fictionaly autobiograpies for a living.
Sigh. Now I’m more mad than ever … what hypocrites. November cannot come fast enough!

duh!
she’s supposed to have a better wardrope than the rest of us. she’s the first lady of the united states of america! she doesn’t have to live frugally just because most americans can’t afford what she wears, eats, drives, or lives (unless she wants to).
the administration has long been advocates for all americans becoming prosperous, while every previous administration has had the ‘i’ve got mine, you get yours’ philosophy. you never saw their wives scale down on anything, be it clothes, food, vacations, or whatever. and americans never held them to a first lady clothes budget or allowance.
all politicians live off the american people. that’s politics, and that’s the perk of the job!
don’t hate the player, hate the game —- or become president and first lady yourself!
You miss the point. One cannot criticize and demonize the “rich” while pretending to champion the “poor” and then live like royalty on our dime.
It makes them look like hypocrites, which they are.
Hey, they have been on the dole their whole lives, so it figures.
$4 million for 17 days comes out to $9,800 per HOUR – This at a time when many hard-working Americans have not been able to afford the simplest family vacation for years. I could take my family for a really nice vacation for a WEEK on HALF of what they’re costing us per HOUR.
The Obamas are milking the Presidency for all they they can get out of it and basically sticking it to us.
Please people, remember this when you vote in November.
[...] Michelle Obama may be enjoying her holiday vacation – but her choice of wardrobe is taking a beating. Not that it’s ugly or inappropriate attire – but that it’s potentially riling taxpayers who see her lavish choices. [...]

“And don’t think she’s dressing like a regular tourist while she’s there, either, you peons.” I have a serious issue with this line given the way the media lambasted her a few years ago for wearing shorts in the summer while in Arizona. Seems like an unfair, no win situation for her since she gets beat up when she dresses “like a regular tourist” and when she dresses up a bit.

Why didn’t the lawmakers put in a caveat, that the big banks benefittin-g from bail outs would be in contempt if they even tried to lobby Washington D.C? I suppose that would have been way too ethical for them, too honorable for them. Especially since it didn’t bother the lawmakers when the big bonuses were doled out. Why then do the GOP think that OWS is happening? We are fed up with the manipulati-ons and the lies from the Big Banks, Wall Street and the GOP. The writing on the wall is clear the top tier has had the system rigged in their favor for too long, it is our turn to have a return to the freedom of opportunit-y that has been lost to the middle class.
