Filed Under Media, Politics | 19 Comments

Today’s contestants are couple of headlines regarding wardrobe cost for Michelle Obama and Ann Romney. Both headlines are from the Washington Post website.

Here’s the WaPo on Ann Romney’s $990 shirt:

And after reporting how out of touch Ann Romney is, the Post says “Hey, look at Michelle Obama’s beautiful $6,800 jacket!”

    El Presidente himself just demonstrated that he doesn't know the difference between million and billion, so it's not surprising that the toadies at WaPo seem to think that $990 is more that $6800.

    The dueling headlines are getting worse and worse. The question is how many of the average voters even notice?

    It is just like the bias Doug pointed out on MM site the other day when Dan Rather said the Presidential race is flat and boring….in other words, their guy is about to lose.

    Simply following the same formula used in determining the vase / vahze pronunciation, wouldn`t a $990. lady`s shirt be a "blouse" ? Does Ann wear it while driving one of her Cadillacs ? Sure, if the old Plymouth Valiant isn`t runnin` at the time !

    It`s often been tough to call anything Meanchelle wears as "attractive", but to me, it seems the more she pays, the less attractive it looks. And when was the last time she drove ANYTHING, besides the Nation nuts ?!

    Obama doesn't care how much Michelle spends on clothes as long as he gets all the "Fore!" play he wants.

    Aren`t WE the ones with the dog whistles (code words) ?

    I saw the other day, the O`Campaign released a memo saying that they may see a headline, "Our guy (Obama) didn`t win in November" !

    Correction, Obama doesn't care how much money Michelle spends as long as he can figure out a way to put the bill on the shoulders of the tax payer.

  7. SignPainterGuy on July 30th, 2012 2:09 pm

    You don`t think he hires that out ?

  8. Truesoldier__ on July 30th, 2012 2:21 pm

    But of course. You know he didn't bill that himself.

    Does Michelle Obama wear her $6800 blouse when driving her our taxpayer funded 757 to watch a sporting event?

    The last paragraph (the update) is classic!

    What's next? A TV anchor reporting on the Fed, when her husband is chairman of it?

    Well played, sir!

  12. SignPainterGuy on July 30th, 2012 8:09 pm

    Good catch / pitch ! And BO dog flies in HIS own, uh er, OUR taxpayer funded 737 !

  13. SignPainterGuy on July 30th, 2012 8:12 pm

    Ha ha, of course not; they want THEIR gifts ! Giving them away to Zero is for the peasants; though not many have "taken advantage" of the opportunity ! !

    Valuable thoughts and advices. I read your topic with great interest. They say they’ve been taxed and regulated to death for decades, and they have no choice but to do what they can to claw their way back into profitability.
