The Obamas are putting money into the Waldorf Astoria economy.
It looks like the bottom signature is a tiny bit smaller, but otherwise exact copy of the top signature.
Great point as well. Remember, Obama said, “We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK.”
It’d be great if someone did an ad covering both.
Just a simple girl living the life to which she has become accustomed in these mean United States of America.
I don’t know why Iranian caviar is available, but it is.
Gee, I thought we were all upset over those CEO’s enjoying themselves during the economic crisis.
Don’t be so quick to assume Michelle just likes caviar, of course she felt good ordering something from an enemy country which Rev Wright has told her we are mistreating.
The Obama’s love our enemies and hate our allies, that is part of the leftist philosophy.
No economic crisis in the Obama coffers, with the right redistribution of wealth and all.
