No old-time royalty ever lived as luxuriously as the present-day mavens of “equality” and “fairness.” And I doubt any of Louis XV’s mistresses was ever as smugly self-satisfied as the champagne-sipping Valerie, may she enjoy her new Islamic overlords.

As it has been pointed out:
“Socialism is for the people, not the socialists”

It should now be dubbed “The Michelle Obama Syndrome”.

“The Marie Antoinette Syndrome” is aptly applied here, as it includes a presumption of beauty.
“The Michelle Obama Syndrome” is something else entirely.

This UK Telegraph article, unatributed in this posting but may have not been attributed in the article, demonstrates the differences between US and european approaches in thinking between socialism/communism and captitalism.

Socialism/communism is supposed to be egalitarian. Everbody is supposed to be on the same level. Nobody is supposed to have more than the other. Money collected from the collective is supposed to be spread among the members of the collective. Where the money is placed is sometimes refered to as the collective trough.

Leaders of the collective are not supposed to have more than the rest of the collective. If they are living a life style because of their position gaming more from the collective than the rest of the collective because of their position. Thus are consuming members shares from the feeding trough contributed by the members. Those who do this are considered and without any hesitation by followers of this creed called “socialist/ or communist pigs”.

In that regard if that is applied to US the Obamas, which it should be because they professes and follow this philosophy.Yet nothing is said about their extavagant life styles. Shouldn’t followers of that creed here who are busily engaged in “change” be rightiously indignant and recognize Obama’s are socialist pigs ?

Looks like she's suffering from bra-less nipple slips and incipient Moochelle Moose-hips

Don’t forget Moochelle. We are constantly told what a fashionista she is but she could use a “Wide Load” sign on her you know what. I bet she puts away some cake.
