First of all, we must make a correction. It wasn’t a purse. It was a $5950 black alligator manila clutch made in Italy from the skin of an endangered alligator.
OK, we have to make another correction. We don’t actually know if alligators are endangered, but this particular alligator is definitely not basking in sunshine anymore.
Enough corrections. Let’s get to the story.
If you were strolling through the woods outside Moscow, you might carry a backpack and a compass. Not First Lady Michelle Obama. No, she showed off her expensive tastes in fashion by carrying that aforementioned $5950 black alligator manila clutch.
We’re not fluent in Italian, but as far as we can tell “manila clutch” is an Italian term that means “Crazy American with too much money.”
The First Lady has completely abandoned the pretense that she wears affordable American brands such as Gap and J.Crew. That story went up in a puff of smoke on election night and she’s rarely spotted anymore without some expensive designer bauble.
Michelle’s clutch was handmade in Italy VBH, the luxury leather goods company. And you’ll be happy to know it’s part of their Spring 2009 collection.
Michelle Obama. Today, First Lady. Tomorrow, Czarina.

Reminds me of a pic i saw of Michelle 0 as Marie Antoinette.
So now it's time for Moo-shell to give back, to make up for killing an alligator so she could tote a $6000 purse. I think she should now be terminated and skinned. They could make an entire luggage collection out of her fat butt alone.
No wonder that arrogant cow is finally proud to be an American. Where else could the Obama's steal enough to support her Marie Antoinette lifestyle? I'm eagerly awaiting the Marie Antoinette ending ... roll out the guillotine.
"Just how do you walk thru an education at Princeton and Harvard."
Same way you girls claimed Bush got his bachelors at Yale and MBA from Harvard. Liberals all claimed his his daddy MUST have bought it for him, on account of W was so stupid (haw haw).
I say Michelle got hers the same way, except the (evil, racist) taxpayers paid her bills.
What a bunch of lames. Michelle is a highly educated lawyer, so with or with out her husband being the president she would have her own money to spend on things none of you could afford off your Wal-Mart income. A bunch of HATERS!!!! LOL at such disrepectful racist ignorance. Go watch a NASCAR race something more on your level!!!
Oh right.
She was walked through her "education" via affirmative action, handed cushy jobs via "diversity initiatives" (one of which she felt was beneath her, and she complained as such) and now she's glommed-on to Barry Obama and lets the taxpayers support her glamorous lifestyle in this "unfair, inequal" America that she only recently found any pride in.
Other than this, what WORK has she personally done? What has she herself accomplished, as a lawyer or anything else?
"Highly educated"? Not so much. "Highly Entitled and Supported By Other People's Money"? You betcha.
Just how do you walk thru an education at Princeton and Harvard. It's ok to be slow but not stupid. Statistics show white women benefit from affirmative action than any other racial group. I don't know about you but I call being the Vice President of Community and External Affairs at University of Chicago Medical Center "work". That was the position she held before her husband took office. It just hurts your heart to know that are HIGHLY EDUCATED BLACK PEOPLE WHO CAN HOLD DOWN A JOB, A MARRIAGE AND DON'T LIVE ON WELFARE. STOP BELIEVING EVERYTHING THE NEWS TELLS YOU.
Better check your facts toots. She didn't have the job until her then-Senator hubby channeled a few million in Medicaid $$ to the UCMC and her job was a do-nothing kickback funnel. It was a made up title for a made up no-show job and your bias is showing--check the dates and the public records on when the money was disbursed and when he got the earmarks for them and her hire date--it's pathetically obvious even for those who have an IQ hovering around room temperature. Do your homework before you come here spouting your liberal bias in favor of the Obama-siah spouse. Read her senior thesis from Princeton--my 12 year old niece writes better reports.
Ah yes. The Vice President of Community and External Affairs at University of Chicago Medical Center gig.
Michelle was APPOINTED to that position when Barry was sworn in to his US Senate seat. By all appearances, the job was a make-work slot meant to encourage earmarks from her husband (and indeed, the hospital did enjoy earmarks from obama.) The job was SO important (and no doubt really hard "work") that the moment Michelle resigned the position to work on Barry's Pres campaign, the position was eliminated.
So.
I'd say you just got what we call OWNED.
Would you like to try again?
Yep. DNC talking point number 4. If someone disagree's with the President, His Family, or his policies, PLAY THE RACE CARD.
Special- You forgot something, though. You failed to mention George Bush, Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, The War in Iraq, & Hurricane Katrina. That's addendum 4a to the Democrat's guide to arguing with Conservatives. It's been out since 2007 and I'm not sure why you haven't recieved your copy yet.
How many starving kids in Africa would that money have fed?
Africa????? You got starving kids right here in America. But the real question is how much of your money do YOU donate to feed anybody's kid in Africa ,America or anywhere else. Michelle is no different than any one else if there is something you want you buy it. In her case its even better designers give her free items. Its call markerting Michelle wear/carries whatever item the news hypes it up and you say hey I want that and like a dummy you run out to the store spending your money to get it and mean while her bank account stay nice and full cause she aint spent a dime. Its the AMERICAN way!!!!!!!!!!
It doesn't matter how much money that she spends on anything because last time I checked, there is NO store where you can buy class.
Sarah Palin could wear rags, but her class and intelligence will ALWAYS shine through.
YEAH!
I kind of liked Palin even though people thought some of her ideas weren't that good. I know a lot of people didn't.
I remember when she made fun of Bush and the stimulus money he let out. She said that wasn't enough and what would people do with it buy earrings? It wasn't well publicized but she did say something to that effect.
The problem is not that she has the funds and she spent it ons omething fabulous. The problem was that she wants me to have less but she hasno problems having more.
Yelp..hypocrisy is in. There is no shame. The obama's tell us we must give up a piece of our pie so other's can have more. Turn down the thremostate..eat less..drive less. The obama's keep the white house at 80 or more degree's..obama's fly all over the world frequently..Michelle has at least 20 attendants..costing the taxpayers..how much? Most presidents wives have 2. How many gormet chiefs have they now hired? And the obama's family are living in poverty..an aunt on the east coast and brother in Kenya. Both horribly impoverished.And 100$ lb steak the obama's enjoy. They party lashishly weekly. It goes on and on.Everytime i see this man..i feel sick. My husband are the mildest gentlest ppl. on earth yet this man so anger's us beyond anything we have ever felt. And there are at least 100 million feeling the same. Please america don't let this man destroy our beloved country..please!!! And also any charity they give is to the hamas..the palestinans whose main goal is to destroy isarel and the usa.
3 rules of Liberals: 1. Do as I say, not as I do. 2. The rules don't apply to us.
and last but not least 3. The end justifies the means.
I wonder if the money to pay for the hand bag (douche bag) came from the taxpayers?
Of course it did. A lot of articles, blogs and media say that.
He has raked in millions with his "books", so they have lots of $$ to spend on such things - I would have no problem with her having luxury items IF they weren't such amazing hypocrites themselves, and part of a larger group of new standard-setting hypocrites.
I'm quite surprised at this in the much too much Muchelle has left out her African heritage in using an American alligator when Barack was hauling her back to Ghana and the old slave quarters her family shipped out from in crocodile Africa.
Interestingly it was Obama's Luo tribe who were driving other blacks off their lands and the Arab part of Barack who was running the slave trade which traded Muchelle's family.
What though seems ironic is when in Rome, the Obama's were all hedonism, but in Moscow Muchelle went on an animal skin safari, but not with Russian sable, but instead she chose a sneaky, reptilian which suffocates it's victims who need water, by dragging them under water.
Sort of like Obama luring in Americans to vote for him, dragging them into 11 trillion dollar debt and suffocating the American dream in the dark waters of the murky Barack Obama transparent dictatorship.
Got to go to Moscow now to buy American goods under inflated prices. Probably went well with the endangered smoked beluga, endangered caviar and endangered Russian freedom.
Joe Stalin would be pleased.
Yeap your name sayes it all a lame!!!!
