Political commentators have expressed their fury over the fact that Michelle Obama wore a jacket worth $6,800 to the pre-Olympics Opening Ceremony reception at Buckingham Palace on Friday.

Ridiculous...stop acting stupidly.
It looks like she was wearing a bustle under the jacket and skirt. That has to be a custom made jacket. No wonder it cost so much.

She didn’t pay for it. She gonna keep it though.
“Let them eat cake and shop at Walmart.”
The MSM (Washington Post) said this about Mitt Romney’s wife, for wearing a $900 t-shirt:

Sorry for the confusion...
My statement: "...don't the Aussies have someone just like her most glorious WH ladyship..." refers to the female in the White House (WH)...In addition, if you follow the news closely, the Aussies are trying to cure a female Orangutan of smoking...
Need I say more???
I thought my reference to O'Bloviation might have given everyone a hint that I was using some sarcasm.
The Wednesday Night Jazz Nights at the White House, the $100/lb Wagu Beef and Lobsters. The wardrobe fit for two hundred women. The Date Nights to New York City that inconveniences hundreds of thousands while buring millions of taxpayer dollars.
This administration is the poster child for conspicuous excess.

Make that "conspicuous consumption". A little slow this morning.
I agree with you on all points. Sorry I sounded hyper-critical.
Whoops! It is the Indonesians...not the Aussies...
