To Be Fair, There is Much More Material Needed for Dressing the First Amazon
Back in May, Ann Romney, wife of Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, wore a $990 Reed Krakoff silk shirt for a media appearance. The item of clothing set off a media firestorm, with the Romneys widely accused of being “out of touch” with average Americans.
In particular, the Washington Post wrote that the $990 blouse “will not help her husband change those perceptions, no matter how many Laundromat photo ops are on the campaign’s itinerary.”
Fast forward to last Friday, when First Lady Michelle Obama attended an Olympics reception for heads of state at Buckingham Palace, donning a J. Mendel cap sleeve jacket from the 2013 Resort collection.
The price-tag? $6,800.
This time, the Washington Post simply described the intricacies of the jacket and noted that Mrs. Obama has previously been criticized for “not dressing up enough for Queen Elizabeth II, so she stepped up her game.” No snide remarks, no outrage over the cost, no suggestion she was “out of touch.”
“The media’s overabundant love affair with the Obamas has become increasingly blatant as this election draws nearer.

You can’t polish turd….. but you can allow that it spends other peoples’ money with abandon.

no matter how much you spend a Wookie is still a Wookie.
Moose is a pathetic fashion statement, proving you can take an animal out of the zoo, but the flies will still find her.

What’s stunning is that the LSM no longer even pretends to hide its shameless hypocrisy.
It’s almost as if they’re advertising: “WaPo is a propaganda arm of socialism – if you don’t like it, pound sand!”

How great it will be to have a truly beautiful and stylish first lady again. Michelle Obama is coarse and arrogant .

I’d like to know where the Obamas are getting the money to pay for all her super extravagant clothes. You’d think they were making the same kind of money that Romney is.

Ann Romney got her money’s worth; that’s a very pretty top. Moose– not so much. Not at all, in fact.

It’s a one-way street and we’re just supposed to accept it. Screw them all.
Besides, Ann Romney looks a hell of a lot better in a $990 outfit than the Wookie…..well, there isn’t enough money to make her look good.

I’d buy Mooch’s next $6800 frock and she can claim it off the hanger in a Kenyan village. As long as they promise not to let her swim back.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Again: woe unto them that call SSM good, and opposition to SSM evil; that put darkness (SSM) for light, and light (one man, one woman marriage) for darkness; that put bitter (Homosexual’s hate for YHWH) for sweet, and sweet (Chick-Fil-a’s love for YHWH) for bitter.
Class warfare is based on envy, jealousy, and covetousness. America is sinking into Marxism which is an ideology of envy, jealousy, and covetousness, tied to a penchant for thuggery. Marxism is noted for it’s advocating the use of violence to take the wealth from those who have been more successful. Marxism is the ideology of thieves, and robbers ie; You have more. I want more but I don’t feel like working for it, so I will kill you, and take your riches.
covetous implies inordinate desire often for another’s possessions .
jeal·ous (jls) adj.
1. Fearful or wary of being supplanted; apprehensive of losing affection or position.
2.
a. Resentful or bitter in rivalry; envious: jealous of the success of others.
b. Inclined to suspect rivalry.
3. Having to do with or arising from feelings of envy, apprehension, or bitterness: jealous thoughts.

That’s a huge bonus for the Obamas.
That’s why I have $40,000 riding on Obama at Intrade.com !!
The MSM are shamelessly sponsoring the Obama Regime. Expecting to be rewarded by the Crony Gravy Train.

It costs a lot more to create garments that can bounce back from Sasquatch urine and feces. For instance, a can of Squatch-Guard goes for about $150.

Ironically, that’s got to be the best picture I’ve seen of Moose, and the worst of Ann.

Something really weird about that pic you posted the link to. She’s wearing a Rolex Submariner with a blue dial. That’s a mans watch. Got one just like it.

“Some women don’t like pussy little watches.”
I can see where that might be uncomfortable too, I’d much rather wear mine on my wrist if I were a woman. Besides it might get kind of embarrassing anytime some one asked you the time.

Sorry guys, but Ann Romney really isn’t that great at fashion either, but at least she will not look like she’s dressed for laundry day when visiting foreign nations.

@Bad Brad – people with MS usually develop very bad eyesight. That may explain the large watch.
