The “designer” fees are probably pretty manageable. I’d imagine that the real cost cost comes because they probably charge by the yard for the material.

Hey, let's not suppose any malfeasance on the part of the First Lady. I'm sure it would be illegal for Caftan Castle, Boob Belt Emporium, and Hippobottomus to supply the clothes for free.

Actually, I'd rather We The People NOT take credit...

On the bright side, she refuses to pay for sleeves even when bare arms are inappropriate. So desperate is she for praise - even from sycophants - that she will willingly commit a fashion faux pas.

Anyone else remember the “she gets red dresses, we get pink slips” mantra aimed at Nancy Reagen?

It's astoundingly easy to steal govt money--especially if you have a $1.4BILLION household budget.

NRO tallied what taxpayers are paying for M/M O to live large on the taxpayers' dime: a grand total of $1.4 billion per year: Air Force One ($181,757 per hour), executive chef ($100,000 per year), three full-time White House calligraphers ($277,050 per year for the trio), chief of staff to the president’s dog ($102,000 per year), Ohaha's royal motorcade ($2.2 million). $100 million alone for the African apology tour.

==========================================

$1.4 BILLION is the current annual cost of the White House — just in household expenses, not including US policy operations for which the WH exists-- administered by some 900 parasites--- policy staff recruited by Ohaha.

There's the $100 million trip to Africa not including the foreign aid billions O handed out to these oil-rich satraps. There's serial Ohaha vacations costing taxpayers millions---- (the low estimate Hawaii vacays is $4 million each, but is probably five times that); the pricey Martha's Vineyard stays; Mrs O's costly trip to elite Marbella w/ an entourage of 30. Mrs O's $3900 PER NIGHT in Ireland PLUS 30 more rooms for her entourage. And the pricey China trip.

=======================================

TAXPAYERS SUFFERED RUINOUS HEALTHCARE CANCELLATIONS--BUT THEY PAY $7 MILLION FOR THE OBAMAS HEALTHCARE---NRO found the first family’s yearly health-care costs Americans $7 million; the reason why only Boobamba himself was (ahem) "enrolled" --and not his family.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend on hubby's govt salary? Mrs O wore pricey diamond bangles (bought on a govt salary?) at a DNC fund-raiser, attended by "tolerant and compassionate" Dems....raised big bucks to keep Mr O in office so he could work for "the poor." Her diamond Gothic cuff priced at $15,350 set with 2.17 carats in diamonds and the Quatrefoil bracelet at $11,800 set with 1.73 carats in diamonds. (Excerpt) Read more at houston.culturemap.com.

Mrs O wowed all the "tolerant and compassionate" Dems who hate the rich and support endless tax-paid programs "for the poor."

Mrs O has 24 assistants (that she admits to) at her beck and call.
