I get a kick out of the first comment that questions how dare someone look into her personal life like this....

It is OK for zero’s campaign to look into others personal lives, but he is untouchable?

“Iranian caviar”

The Obamas showing their appreciation of Iran’s endorsement.

How many homeless people could she have fed with that money? America is a mean place, indeed. And she’s the mean one.

Imagine if Mrs. McCain had done this while her husband was preaching about poor and homeless out on the streets of NY. There would be a firestorm.

Don’t forget Michelle’s $600 earrings too.

I wish someone on the press junket would confront Obama about this and ask him how ordering Lobsters from Room Service is any different than owning 7 homes.

This should really hurt Hussein’s half brother, who is forced to live in poverty — reportedly on $12 a year.

Yep, we should be our brother’s keepers (per Bill Ayers) — but that’s only for the little people.

the whining about Fox News sounds so petty and stupid too. If he gets so upset with this news network how is he going to deal with problems as president??

I would love to hear McCain or Palin fire back with “if it weren’t for CNN, MSN, ABC, NBC, CBS, AP, the NYT, the WaPo, Time, Newsweek, etc etc, WE would be up by 15 or more points!” It’s true too. That lefty editor of Newsweek admitted it during the ‘04 campaign.
