She also spent a fortune on funding things here in Florida, ranging from museums to charitable activities.
And what’s wrong with her spending money on watches if she has it, which she obviously does? I wouldn’t buy watches if I had that money, but then, I probably wouldn’t buy what you would buy, either. Everybody’s different.
Her husband’s money didn’t come from being Governor of Florida, btw, and these weren’t official purchases. So why shouldn’t she buy what she wants with her own money?
What we don’t like about Michelle is that she is having the Federal Government (that is, us, the taxpayers) underwrite her jet-setting. Otherwise, I wouldn’t give a darn about what she did. If Barry had made money from excelling at a regular job and risen to be a CEO, or if he had invested well, or if he had actually done anything, that would be fine. But he has done nothing in his life, his wife’s one high-paid job was a no-show that his political cronies had arranged, and all of her money comes from his being the US President and her being able to tap into the bennies.
So that’s the difference.
Meanwhile Heinz has been spending far more than that for decades. Yet no one made a peep.
