It is SO easy to shut up the socialists with stuff like this.
If you believe that we should pay for the needs of “the poor”, then you have no business buying bling, big houses, furniture, cars, etc.
If you believe paying higher taxes is a good idea, show me proof that you’ve been paying more than your 1040 says you have to.
Otherwise, STUFF IT.
Sounds like that Zero got busted and the story was out, so they needed damage control.
It’s not really any of our business. However, he denies it, so if it’s true, then he starts his term as a liar. I also think it says something about Michelle. I’m reminded of Kobe Bryant. It doesn’t show much of a sensitivity to politics or the economic situation. Again, that said, it really is his business.
I'm sure everyone will read the retraction if it's not true. I hate it when that happens to our side. /sarc
It could be if he got the ring for a deal that violates Senate ethics rules...
You’re right. Then it would be. How do you think it would violate Senate ethics rules? It certainly shows a political tin ear. I think he’s pretty astute politically, so it may be that Michelle is more of a concern for him than we know...
Actually it looks like Rhodium has gone down quite a bit.
As of today it is $1,225 per troy ounce and opened at a $950. As a comparison, Platinum is $810 per troy ounce. So it isn’t *that* much more extravagant than platinum.
Notice the spit at the bottom of the ring?
I got one of those out of a gumball machine, one size fits all.
Doesn’t he know what size she wears, 2XL?
This settles it. Govt work and community organizing is a well paying enterprize which can lead to wealth and riches.
Lessee, Mrs. Zero gets 30K bling from her man in honor of his ascendancy to prez.
I get a new 9mm from my man in honor of the Zero’s big event.
I’d rather be me.
No.
Obama is giving wife Michelle a $30,000.00 diamond-encrusted Harmony ring made of "black gold" - rhodium - the world's most expensive metal, London's Daily Mail reported online last night.Hey, at least he won't hold up air traffic to get a haircut. ;')
