All these countries always love tourists especially if they have big bucks.

[Carley]

Are they sending a plane for her loot?

[skr]

As long as it’s her money, who cares?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

as the US first lady almost ran out of money

I doubt that would actually happen. She'd just apply for a Federal bailout.

[ari-freedom]

big if there

[Doogle]

...she’s just getting rinky dinks for future heads of state that visit as gifts from the American people...any ipads or DVD’s?

[SanFranDan]

But won’t the unions be upset that she didn’t buy American?

[ari-freedom]

“Part of the gifts she bought were also elephants and fans made of rice grain and rice stalk. “

we also decided to send Obama a nice gift of many elephants :)

[My Favorite Headache]

We were told by Michelle and Barack to quote “Tighten our belts...we are going to have to learn to go without...this is a struggle to survive...we must surrender our focus to want and focus only on what we need.”

[ari-freedom]

I guess we desperately need an entire line of Kutchi mobile phone bags

[Colonel Kangaroo]

As long as she’s paying with her own money, I don’t care. Presidential spouses and families have always used state travel as an opportunity for a shopping spree.

[Tijeras_Slim]

It takes time to be properly fitted for a howdah.

[married21]

Who is all this stuff for? Michelle and Barack don’t give their kids Christmas gifts, right? (My guess is that tradition was Barack’s idea and Michelle has been getting around it for years.)

[Gadsden1st]

Man, I sure wish we had a manufacturing base like that. How many union members do you think it would take to make a rice stalk elefante or some clay beads or some wood toys???

[TexasCajun]

The US first lady exhausted her shopping budget at the crafts museum and said the Indian craft items were ideal gifts of Christmas, barely one-and-a-half months away!

Didn't Imam Obamah say his family doesn't celebrate Christmas or birthdays?

[MWestMom]

She could have simply gone to Pier 1 or World Market and it would have cost the taxpayers less money!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Get real you guys. You know damn well taxpayers are picking up Michelle’s tab.

[SMARTY]

Looks like they’re addicted to other peoples’ money!

Ms. POTUS,

By all means, please use our credit card!
The American People
