Did she buy the bracelet, or is it just borrowed? It is not unusual to borrow or rent high priced jewelry for special occasions.

If I ever rented or even borrowed something that expensive so I could show off for an evening, I believe my hand would shrivel.

I'm not sure that matters. I don't care about the household budget of the Obamas. I see that they spend my money foolishly. How they spend their own money is of no interest to me.

What bothers me is that Michelle wants to live like a queen. Her money, our money, someone's money -- I don't care how she accomplishes this: I just think it is in poor taste while her husband's policies put most Americans in the poorhouse.

It doesn't matter as far as I'm concerned. She probably borrowed it because these people don't like to pay for anything themselves. It's a disgusting display at a time when Americans are hurting. Have a look at the Duchess of Cambridge. That young woman is smart enough to wear High Street dresses more than once. Michelle flaunts her freebie riches while we're suppose to pay higher taxes & eat our peas. These people need to go!

Borrowed or bought, still in bad taste especially when they do not pay their fair share of taxes.
