Let Them Eat Paint! Michelle Obama Wore $200 Designer T-Shirt for 9/11 Charity Painting

I don't know about you, but when I paint fixtures with a sloppy broad brush, I make sure to wear my finest, most expensive designer shirts. Just like Michelle Obama.

Below are photos of Michelle "Antoinette" Obama wearing a $207.90 t-shirt by Tom Binns and John Eshaya at a National Day of Service and Remembrance event at the Vinson Hall Retirement Community in McLean, Va. on Saturday.

I suppose if she got paint on it she can claim it as a charitable deduction. The rich are just different from us.

A woman lucky enough to have a job in the Obama economy would have to work nearly 30 hours at the federal minimum wage to be able to afford one of Michelle Obama's throwaway designer painting shirts.

That is one ugly azz......tee shirt.

$200 would buy me about ten shirts.

So is the bull wearing it.

From the looks of that brush, it was dipped once into a paint can and the excess left to run down the handle.

Guananteed that the Wookie never made more than one pass with that brush, and that had to be for the camera and then off to the lobster bar to snack on a 32 ounce tail with a gravy boat full of butter.

$200 would buy me about ten shirts.

But nothing as ugly as this :).

As was posted elsewhere on FR today, all "lottery winners" fly high for a while, but generally end up in bankruptcy court.

Dumbass illitist. Taking our hard earned $200 and buying a shirt to paint in. The second pic of “the first it” holding the brush says it all. “Someone get this icky thing away from me, the photographer is done”. “Smelly commoners”.

I am painting the front doorjamb and nearly got paint on my $5 t-shirt from AC Moore and had a cow. I jumped back and it missed me.

Poor Michelle has to wear $200 shirts. If only she shopped AC Moore!/s

...but yeah, she, as with the AnnointedIdiot, are definately ‘in-touch’ with the American people, huh?! =.=

This Spring/Summer capsule collection of oversized tees is a collaboration between jewelry deisgner Tom Binns (whose name you may recognize from here) and fashion consultant John Eshaya.

She’s wearing those $600 tennis shoes too.
I painted my bathroom last weekend. That was my vacation this year. Needless to say, I was not wearing a $200 tshirt and $600 sneaks. I don’t dress that expensively when I go to the office. What an elitist snob.

I would say that Mr. & Mrs. Obama, and maybe all the top-echelon democrats, are tone-deaf about how their richer-than-thou, holier-than-thou democrat party leadership is perceived.

[TiredofItalltoo]

I wouldn’t wear that ugly shirt if you PAID ME $200. Well, maybe I would if her hubbies promises to put gas in my car don’t come thru. Still waiting.

These people make me sick.

I could have bought 43 t-shirts at Sam's for 207.90 and since I am in Montana, there is NO SALES TAX!

Isn't Montana the greatest?

They aren't even bankrupt like my home in California.

The bulge in that particular place in the ladder and T-shirt pictures MUST BE true!

0h0m0 is married to a she-male and that suits him fine.

No hourly need to go for Reggie Love.

She’s got on those crotch clutcher pants again.

Woman! You’ve got 200 bucks. Buy a mirror for gosh sakes.
