Maybe Sandra Fluke could pick up some birth control pills there.
I hope Romney didn’t plant this nonsense. The press completely overplays it and no one really cares. Romney is rich. He buys nice clothes. He doesn’t need to shop in Walmart with the rest of us. And if he does, fine, but don’t announce it.
This is what I hate about politics. This need to fabricate personas to appeal to the electorate. Hell, I’m not even remotely wealthy, and I don’t buy my shirts at Costco. My dress shirts come from Jos A. Banks. If I had Romney’s money I’d have them custom made an Deno’s in Highland Park, with all the other rich guys. If Romney weren’t campaigning, he’d be wearing whatever is equivalent to his locale.
No, he doesn't.
Next.
Memories of his: "I got a bracelet too" comment during his debate with McCain.
I don’t get the pandering of the poor. Even poor people stampede into the malls to get nice branded clothes.
Romney is a rich guy. He wears nice clothes. If he truly wants to connect, he should not hide his expensive clothes; instead, he should say how capitalism had made him rich and allowed him to enjoy life, including the option to buy expensive clothes, most likely not made in some third world sweatshop, employing hundreds of people. Instead, this wishy-washy opportunist gets clothes from a discount mass retailer just for the photo-op?
Obama would never be seen shopping at Costco or HORRORS!, ironing. He would not want anyone to think that HE might be the hired help.
I love Costco. And rich people like to save money too. 18 grandkids, 5 sons, 5 daughter-inlaws . . . I don’t see anything wrong with it. And yes I bought my husband a nice Costco dress shirt that he wore to our daughter high school graduation in May since he “outgrew” his other dress shirts and he needed a shirt. ;)
18 grandkids make Costco a good deal
I’ve heard Obama is not about to be shown up by Mitt and announced we will start shopping at thrift shops for all his clothes. However, Michelle has refused to follow suit.
Note how the 'journalist' who wrote the article is presenting his opinion (which he probably originally got as a DNC-scripted talking point) as if it were a fact.
These presstitutes routinely substitute a phony narrative for original thinking and factual reporting.
Despite what many people believe, rich people do shop at Costco. I know some who do. Rich people stay rich by practicing frugality. Others never get rich because they are more concerned about what others think. (Omigod, what would my boss/neighbors/whoever think if they knew I shopped at Costco?)
In the words of the late Richard Feynmann, “What do you care what others think?”
Why does he have to BS and act like he is one of us. Just say what you are going to do as a leader. Nobody believes this stupid act. He never wore a shirt less than a couple hundred dollars and he definitely never ironed before. Just be yourself. It is nauseating to see this.
Traditional mens wear blog “AskAndyAboutClothes” has several threads about the high quality of affordable Kirkland dress shirts and dress pants. Apparently, those in the know have been snapping them up for years.
Quality rich people who made it on their own by doing what they love are not as materialistic as the "nouveau riche" type materialists.
Often the rich still take pleasure in getting the deal. Even though I'm not rich, I make more than I used to. But I still love getting Yoplait yogurts on sale and a cheap, nice Izod shirt at Ross.
I think the Romneys are the real deal. Sure they have some luxuries. But I don't think they're stuck up (like the current residents of 1600 Penn Ave). I beleive they are plain people with plain tastes in many ways.
just got my son four of them..nice decent dress shirts..
I love shopping Costco then I learn the founder is a big time Democrat~~~ say what...a rich democrat..I thought all the rich were republican!!! how dumb of me.
