Can America afford to have a First Lady who wears an outfit that costs <span title="$300,000????????????????????????????">$300,000?????????????????...</span>

Question

I'm not kidding, folks.

An outfit.

ONE outfit.

For a person to put on their body.

THREE

HUNDRED

THOUSAND

DOLLARS.

And before you even TRY it, I didn't say she shouldn't or can't or doesn't have the "right" to.

I'm specifically talking about the First Lady of the United States, and how FAR REMOVED a $300,000 outfit is from reality for the average American.

It is ludicrous.

Answer 1

Yes,

the Republicans are spending that much per day over in Iraq for a pointless war that doesn&#039;t benefit the US citizens.

Answer 2

The cost amount was a guess from Vanity Fair and the price that made this amount go up so much was estimating what the jewelry would cost should the items be real and even the article said that they didn&#039;t know for certain if her jewelry was real. Many celebrities borrow expensive jewelry and insure it. This whole thing is based on speculation and not fact. Get your facts straight before you believe hype. This goes right along with those that believed Sarah Palin was the grandmother of her 4 month old baby which would be quite a feat had her daughter given birth 4 months ago and still be five months pregnant.  

Answer 3

Yes because she&#039;s rich. Her father made a lot of money and she has spent her life helping others, which by the way is also what she does when she spends it, or don&#039;t you think someone got the money. Oh yeah and jewelry is an investment like any other.

Answer 4

Of course sense she buys her own close (she is rich you know) but too many wanted to vote of a candidate who gets $400 hair cuts and did vote into office one president who got $300 hair cuts which WE had to pay for with our taxes.  Some people sure are stupid.  Sucks to be democrat these days.

McCain IS YOUR new president.

Answer 5

No wonder we can`t afford the recent hike in the minimum wage to $6.55 an hour.

Answer 6

Huh?

What does it have to do with America affording anything?

America didn&#039;t pay for it. Budweiser drinkers in Arizona did.

Also, that number includes $295,000 worth of Jewelry, that may or may not of been hers.

Answer 7

If McSame gets his way he will pay for that outfit with his tax cut proposal.Will get 311,000 dollars .Average person 300.

Answer 8

Americans don&#039;t pay for her clothes. She does. She&#039;s wealthy, and certainly not the only wife of a politician who can afford it. Look at John Kerry and his wife (i.e. of the Heinz fortune).

Another pointless lib attack on the McCains.
