Rumors abound as to exactly how Mrs. Obama obtains her wardrobe
The Daliy Caller ^ | 07/14/2010 | Caroline May

It is no secret that the Obamas are advocates for free handouts, but even in her personal life Michelle Obama does not appear to have shied away from accepting free goodies. Numerous news outlets have reported on the first lady’s proclivity for high fashion. And Mrs. Obama’s pricey tastes have not precluded her ability to wear the outfits over which many women drool.

Rumors abound as to exactly how the first family obtains all the pomp and frills associated with Mrs. Obama’s wardrobe. Do the Obamas pay for it all themselves or are the first lady’s outfits given to her gratis? As with most things, it appears the answer lies somewhere in the middle.

Ikram Goldman, owner of the Chicago boutique Ikram, manages the majority of the first lady’s sartorial needs. Any designer wishing to dress Mrs. Obama must first go through Goldman, who remains exceedingly tight-lipped as to her dealings with the first lady. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Goldman donated $6,900 to Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, yet it is unclear whether Mrs. Obama pays for her services.

True to form, Goldman has yet to respond to any of The Daily Caller’s myriad attempts to contact her.

Well, they claim to have brought about the new Camelot. Kennedys never paid for anything. I’ve heard many a story about their visits to Colorado to ski where they failed to pay for things they consumed and/or trashed.

I heard that on Glenn Beck’s radio show this morning. I’m dying to see a pic of the dress. I looked online and couldn’t find it.

” . . . her ability to wear the outfits over which many women drool. “

I would be embarrassed to be caught in public wearing most of the horrid stuff MO struts around in.

Pardon me, but when I see the frocks and accessories in Michelle’s wardrobe, I do not drool.

What you see is bile.

The only guy doing anything useful in that crowd is the man in the background, on the far right.

Gawd she is a nasty tacky old witch. It looks like an oil spill.

I guess we could call that frock. “Oil Spill on the Bitc...er...I mean Beach”
