Shocked! Not about accepting presents--that libs would allow such an unattractive picture of Mooshelle to be published.

Funny, how the media took pics of Sarah P. from every side and angle and NEVER got a bad shot. The woman is just photogenic; whereas poor Mooshelle-not so much.

Haven’t presidents traditionally donated such gifts to the Smithsonian?

No, given to the US, not Moo. Of course, they’re filling their pockets with everything they can sneak out with.

From what I recall,Ms.Obama has to report the a acceptance of that gift to a Federal Agency.I’m not sure which one but she’s required by law to report it.

That Jewelry is Not her Property.

Gifts are reported and turned in. While they may be given personally, they are actually given to the office. They are not personal gifts. . .not supposed to be anyway. . .

Reagan’s needed up in the basement of his library in Simi Valley. They are rotated in displays upstairs — you can also see them downstairs if you take the tour on certain days of the year.

Read the story. They cannot donate what they do not own. Gifts given to presidents and first ladies are the property of the U.S. and not the recipient. Unless he or she chooses to buy them from the government at a fair market price.
