In their latest Business Review, Harvard, that fashion-obsessed place a quick private plane ride north of us, had an analyst assess the monetary value Michelle Obama has on fashion labels she wears publicly. Apparently when Michelle wears something, that company's stock spikes upward. If it's not the label seeing a gain, stores that carry the labels, like Saks, stand to benefit. From November 2008 to December 2009, David Yermack counted that Michelle made 189 public appearances, and wore items by or sold at 29 publicly traded companies, including J.Crew, the Gap, Dillard's, and DSW.

Apparently when Michelle wears something, that company's stock spikes upward. I bet they don't even realize how silly they sound. Sounds a lot like:
"Stalin was like God for us. We just believed he was an absolutely perfect individual, and he lived somewhere in the Kremlin, a light always in his window, and he was thinking about us, about each of us...For example, someone told me that Stalin could be the best surgeon. He could perform a brain operation better than anyone else, and I believed it."

Better snap up futures for these pants before they disappear completely.

I’m thinking more like the stock of the cloth manufacturers spiking up. It takes a lot of extra yardage to cover that booty.

That’s a stretch!
How do they explain a down-turn? MO running around nekkid?
Unless, of course, the truth is she has spent $2.5billion of TARP funds on her wardrobe. And the TARPs are not that attractive to most women I know.

I promise you I would NEVER purchase one piece of clothing MO wears. Her choices always look like dyed potato sacks and opened umbrellas. She does have a few gowns that are nice but the rest of the stuff is label only. Purchase for the label definitely not for the look. Ug.

Sounds like a typical liberal/MARXIST/SOCIALIST run company.
"The company has left many creditors coming after her to be paid for time, service, and materials," the source said. "Modeling agencies, production crews, design assistants, pattern makers, office and store landlords have all been trying to contact her office in Los Angeles and New York for months for payment."
Imagine that.
