The White House issued denials about a Michelle Obama lingerie shopping story where she spent $50000 at a upscale boutique, Agent Provocateur. One story was how the Secret Service closed off access to the Madison Avenue store was rebuked by spokeswoman Kristina Schake. But rumors persist that the First Lady, along with Sheikha Mozah, the Queen of Qatar, did indeed go on a wild shopping spree. That Michelle Obama spent $50,000 dollars on lingerie. That Mrs. Obama boost sales at Agent Provocateur herself by 12%. This follows how Michelle Obama′s SUTO dress cost $2400. Some will say that as America is still suffering in the midst of an economic depression that the Obama free-spending ways are a travesty. This just after they spent millions of taxpayer dollars to vacation in Hawaii.
The new style of Elitism that the Obamas brought to the White House in 2009 has been rather course and abrasive. The in-your-face extravagance of weekly dinner parties for the press. Lavish and expensive vacations. The millions wasted on photo-ops, ranging from a fly-by of the Statue of Liberty to flying the ′First Dog′ back and forth from Hawaii. And then the expedition to India and the Far East where the Obamas dragged along hundreds of friends and campaign contributors, all on the taxpayers dime, costing the American people almost $200 million dollars for the whole affair.
Yes, we understand that Michelle Obama wants to eat Kobe steak and arugula everyday and wear clothes that cost thousands of dollars. Just as we know that her husband, Barack Obama, prefers to goof off playing golf or giving campaign speeches and fundraising instead of doing his job. We would all like to do things other than that which we can afford. So when will this madness stop?
Probably no time in the near future. Meanwhile, the White House does deny that Michelle Obama spent $50,000 on lingerie at Agent Provocateur. That the Secret Service closed down Madison Avenue so Obama could boost sales at the boutique with her new gal-pal, Sheikha Mozah, the Queen of Qatar. Spokeswoman Kristina Schake says that the stories are false. But we do know that the First Lady has very expensive tastes as she displayed when Michelle Obama wore at the SOTU speech a dress that cost $2400. So if she and the Queen of Qatar blew $50,000 on lingerie, who can really argue that it did not happen?

Greetings from New York City, two blocks from Madison Avenue, and no, it was not shut down. These reports were picked up from the Brit trash tabloids. The cost of the India trip was widely debunked. And the vacations are pretty standard presidential fare…. the man is from Hawaii, he goes home for Christmas. Sheesh.
Yes, any time the President, the First Lady, any dignitary from the UN, or a leader from another country visit here there is security and we get street closings….. usually for just long enough for a motorcade to get through. Minutes.
Isn’t this the very same website where I read all that critique of Mrs. O years ago for dressing her kids in J. Crew for the Inauguration? J. Crew…. tacky tacky tacky. Now she spends too much. And this is really what you are concerned about this year?
At least Mr. and Mrs. Gingrich didn’t close 5th Avenue to shop at Tiffany’s. They just arranged for a personal shopper and a charge account.
You folks really need to learn to choose your battles. I guess it’s just more fun to focus on fashion and arugula.

Wow, isn’t this a “Is it true you beat your wife” type of inquiry?
I love the closing line, “So if she and the Queen of Qatar blew $50,000 on lingerie, who can really argue that it did not happen?”
Hard to prove a negative.
I can only assume some fat jokes are forthcoming. One day Obama is gay and the next day his wife is fat, or angry, or some ohter inconsequential observation.
With all of the differences most of you have with the President, why stoop to such sophmoric rhetoric?

@ boozbee
‘ With all of the differences most of you have with the President, why stoop to such sophmoric rhetoric? ‘.
I couldn’t agree more, buzz. Who cares what this angry knuckle-dragger swaddles that enormous ass with ? The Secret Service agents and White House kitchen staff she vamps for, couldn’t care less.

You pretty much need $50,000 worth of fabric to cover Michelle’s fat ass.
January 31st, 2012 at 2:05 pm
…And there it is…
Also can’t keep from wondering why you always keep utilizing that flattering photo of the first lady over and over.
January 31st, 2012 at 2:13 pm
Surprising that people would take issue with how people spend their money.
When I was poor I did not buy luxury items, when I was doing better I did.
Like everyone, besides Warren Buffet and Sam Walton, have done.
The Obamas made a lot of money on book sales and choose to dress and eat well.
I think previous First Ladies also dressed well, such as Jackie O and Nancy Reagan, while others, Mamie Eisenhower and Barbara Bush for example looked like they were outfitted by the best that JC Penney had to offer.
How this is a subject that is somehow relevant to politics escapes me.
I would prefer that the woman on the arm of the President of my country dresses well.
What should they wear? Pantsuits? Oops, nevermind. (And people wonder why Bill strayed).

It is relevent to politics because, regardless of the fact that it’s simply a lie, it appeals to the GOP base: racists and morons.
January 31st, 2012 at 3:02 pm
Obviously, buzzbee, if Obama really is gay, then there must be a logical reason for it. Such as his wife being both fat and angry!
January 31st, 2012 at 3:21 pm
I forgot assholes.
We gotta cover Andrew, too.
January 31st, 2012 at 3:22 pm
That little smiley face you like to use Andrew has a mouth about the right size.
January 31st, 2012 at 3:34 pm
Andy nailed it. She is so angry. Gawd, can you imagine those poor sales clerks running all over the store, at her beck and call and she shouts out her whims. The 99% supporting the 1%. There is a reason they didn’t video her mass spending spree. Wouldn’t you like to see them measuring her ass while she scowls? Ha ha ha!

This must be why there are no conservative comedy shows.
Well, other than Fox and Friends. That collection of idiots never fails to disappoint.

Me;
“You folks really need to learn to choose your battles. I guess it’s just more fun to focus on fashion and arugula.”
Shut up please.
As soon as Palin hit the stage you morons were all over her wardrobe, what it consisted of, represented and then went and printed that bullsht story in every liberal rag coast to coast that you were somehow paying for her 50,000.00 underwear.
I guess she needed it all for that p0rno you had her starring in
Oh, yeah,… what question was that you twits asked Clinton with a little Fleetwood Mac in the background ?
But, I digress, I always found dressing up to get neked a little ridiculous

Buzz-
Seriously tune into TinglesMatthews/Revy Sharpo/RadMadcow/RussianPrincessMeeka/CuppaCrackerJoe and SocialistLarryO’Donkey if you want to see a collection of idiots.
But the KingKong Idiot is DebbyWaspySchultz–the Stepford-DNC-MouthPiece.

You said it sista’
Remarkably Michelle is only the second biggest bitch in the White House. The first is named Barack.
January 31st, 2012 at 8:06 pm
DebbyWaspySchultz?
Waspy?
“Wasserman” sounds like a WASP name to you?
Try Jewish.
