CNN: Michelle Obama’s “dress probably cost around $12,000”

CNN: Michelle Obama’s “dress probably cost around $12,000”. If Romney had been elected, they’d be blathering for the next month about how many poor kids 12 grand would feed. Bain!

    • Are they going to be checking for compliance? Where I work, that's called a kilt check, and I always pass the test.

      "Why are you wearing a skirt?"

      "It's not a skirt, it's a kilt."

      "How do you tell the difference?"

      "If you're wearing anything under it, it's a skirt, and you're gay................... No, I'm not gay."

    • I loved this little jab:

      To give Suharto due credit, he did not allow dogs to eat off the china.

      And then, there is this perfect description of King Barky:

      A single all-powerful ruler, lazy and with few demands on his time, his dictates carried out by a loyal cabal, a terrified and obedient opposition, total corruption, show initiatives that are meant solely as theater with no concrete results expected, and levels of luxury unattainable even by the world's billionaires...................It is pure third-world authoritarianism.

  • And his next move was to do another income inequality speech, and sign the exec order raising the minimum wage for government contractor employees.
    What a load of crap.

    • Of course it's crap. 1 of the greatest powers that socialist/progressives have is that of hypocrisy. They rarely live by the rules they impose on others. Michelle Obama would never wear anything from, say, Target, even though to make her look like an average person, went to Target for a shopping photo op.

  • This only show how much the people that claim to care about her , actually do . If you cared about the way she presents herself , why in the name of god , would you let her out in public , looking like a circus tent ?

    • The dress was ugly, then they hung it on an ugly person. I absolutely agree. Her taste in fashion Is just ridiculously bad.

  • The MSM would be 24/7 talking about a republican first lady living so large in the middle of King Barky the Incompetent's economic wrecovery.

    • Palin’s $150,000 wardrobe scandal sure set the MSM ablaze. That was a dumb move by the McCain campaign though.

      • Wasn't her wardrobe paid for with PAC $ ? Not that it mattered, she was still crucified for it :-(

  • I liked the '' Rare state dinner'' caption, it's rare to get those two together because of vacations and his tee times.

  • Who cares what it cost as long as the taxpayers don't have to bear the burden of paying for it? Maybe is she only wears it once, she can return it - LOL.
