A Tale of Two Wardrobes

In the hopes they can rescue President Obama from having to defend his atrocious record, it appears the media would like to make what Ann Romney buys with her own money a campaign issue. Their latest attempt is ‘pointing out’ (attacking her) a $990 shirt she wore with a bird on it. Here are some of the headlines:
Ann Romney’s Pricetag Problems – MSNBC
Ann Romney’s $990 Shirt – Worth It? – Politico
Ann Romney Wears $990 Silk T-Shirt on CBS – Ed Schultz
Designer of Ann Romney’s $1K Shirt Says It’s Off The Rack – ABC
Those are just a few headlines. Notice they all make a reference to price? Of course they do. That’s the point. Making you think Ann Romney and her husband are greedy pigs is going to be something you see a lot of over the next 6 months. It’s all they have.
Now, let’s look at a few headlines surrounding Michelle Obama’s fashion choices:
Michelle Obama’s State Of The Union Dress – Politico
Congressional Spouses Join First Lady At Food Bank – NY Times
Michelle Obama Volunteers At Food Bank – MSNBC
First Lady Dons Colorful Dress At Correspondents Dinner – ABC
Notice the difference? None of those headlines mention price, cost, price tags, or money in the headlines. But this will really blow your mind: They don’t mention cost in the articles either. Nope. Not one word.
Politico didn’t mention that the State of the Union dress cost $2400. The NY Times and MSNBC failed to mention the sneakers Michelle Obama wore to that food bank cost $540, and ABC didn’t mention anything about the cost of the “Naeem Khan” dress Michelle Obama wore that night. I can’t seem to find what that dress would go for. Shocker. Well, over at Nieman Marcus, the cheapest Naeem Khan dress I found was over $2300. But who knows? Maybe she had a coupon.
Now, do I care what Michelle Obama and Ann Romney spend their own money on? Of course not. It’s their money, and they can spend it how they like. But, that’s not what happens. One is an immediate headline-worthy issue and one is not. The double standard here is hilarious and it’s not going to end. It’s their only hope of saving their guy because they also know that if he has to run on his record he loses.
Oh, one last thing: Michelle Obama wore a $1000 skirt to meet troops in a mess hall last Christmas. I just thought you should know.

Who can justify spending THAT MUCH on ANY clothing?
Pants: $20
Shirt: $15
Underwear/Socks: $6 a package, so $12
Shoes: $25
$72 dollars. I could buy clothing for the rest of my life for what Michelle Obama pays for a dress, shoes, and whatever jewelry. The BIG factor is I have to wash and wear my clothing again. What are the chances that the big O is going to re-wear ANY of what she wears to events?
EVERYTHING she wears comes from TARGET. She has a Target discount thing on the keychain of the 14 ton, bullet-proof limo she rides in!
$500 sneakers, to drop off $25 worth of dented canned goods? And she gets props for this crap? SCOAMF!

Call me crazy, but I think the whole point of pointing out the cost of Ann Romney’s shirt was the fact that Mr. Romney continues to tout her as an economic expert when it comes to the needs of the American woman. Whether she knows what she’s talking about or not, it hard claiming to know the plight of middle class women in today’s economy while wearing something that would cost a middle class American a week and a half’s net salary.

Guess what folks. You would be amazed at what I have in my seabag. I am expected to live out of that bag for 2 years. I get a replacement when I turn in my torn or unpresentable uniform article every 18 months. I guess if you want to talk about the 1% I would up that to the .001%.
Dress – $2300.00
Shoes – $540.00
Spanish vacation on Air Force 1 with friends – $800,000.00
Being evicted from the White House in January 2013 – Priceless
This is another left wing liberal way to bring attention to Romney because he is rich. Michelle Obama and her $540.00 sneakers is worth this kind of ridiculous rantings on the part of the liberal media. The Obama’s consider themselves elites, they look down on the regular American People and they want us to think they are just regular folks but it is a lie. Mrs Obama and her fancy vacations with her entourage and her wardrobe please give me a break or gag me with a ladle. Enough of this hypocracy.
I was searching for Wardrobes and found your blog. Really nice article though. Please keep posting about these things. Thanks, Jessica Beike.
