Political commentators have expressed their fury over the fact that Michelle Obama wore a jacket worth $6,800 to the pre-Olympics Opening Ceremony reception at Buckingham Palace on Friday.
Though the dazzling J Mendel jacket and skirt won critical acclaim from the style set, some pundits are furious that she elected to spend so much money on a garment while so many in the U.S. are suffering financially.

Most 20-somethings are still wet behind the ears, and only worried about where their next piece of a$$ is coming from. I know...I was 20-something at one point in my life.
Or, if she was "given" the jacket in exchange for some favor.
Not 68 THOU, 68 HUNDRED. A little difference there.
Personally, I like the look and I don’t care how much it cost. Folks here sound like little kids.
Sorry, but when liberals try to tell me my money is not my money but the governments, then I have every right to comment on how they spend their money.
The average monthly income runs about $50,000. So, 1.5 months.
Unless you are referring to net vs gross.
>>France had Marie Antoinette and America has Michele Obama. <<
Marie Antoinette was an innocent girl who gave to the poor and was demonized by the radical left of her time. They told horrible stories about her and even convinced her son that she had sex with him. She prayed for those who persecuted and convicted her. This is well documented.
Michelle is no Marie.
Kate Middleton wore a $60 dress off the sale rack a few days before the Olymics and looked stunning. Message for moochelle is no amount of money will ever make her look like a human.
Oh, what’s the bid deal? I mean, $6,800 is just chickensh*t money to King Effete and Queen Bitter.
I personally think it makes her already large rear look even bigger. It’s like a bustle. Yuk.
Yep! An insult to any historical version of Marie Antoinette.
OTOH, don't the Aussies have someone just like her most glorious WH ladyship they are trying to cure of smoking...Just wondering...
Don’t know exactly to whom you’re referring, but Marie was AUSTRIAN, not AUSTRALIAN.
Ridiculous...stop acting stupidly.
It looks like she was wearing a bustle under the jacket and skirt. That has to be a custom made jacket. No wonder it cost so much.
The jacket is not so bad, but Michelle just looked really hideous in it.
Some well meaning lib needs to send Michelle a gift of a three way mirror, so that she can see what she looks likes from the side view.
She didn’t pay for it. She gonna keep it though.
“Let them eat cake and shop at Walmart.”
The MSM (Washington Post) said this about Mitt Romney’s wife, for wearing a $900 t-shirt:
“INDICATIVE OF A TONE DEAF CAMPAIGN”
But, then, the Washington Post had the AUDACITY to say that the $6,800 jacket that MOOOO-chelle wore to the Olympics (that OUR tax dollars paid for) was
“FIT FOR A QUEEN”!
Sorry for the confusion...
My statement: "...don't the Aussies have someone just like her most glorious WH ladyship..." refers to the female in the White House (WH)...In addition, if you follow the news closely, the Aussies are trying to cure a female Orangutan of smoking...
Need I say more???
I thought my reference to O'Bloviation might have given everyone a hint that I was using some sarcasm.
