Little difference between 7 houses and a nice pair of shoes.

my most expensive shoes.



$317

$500 shoes on a woman: stylish.

$500 shoes on a man: ghey.

Ummm...the difference, subby, is that the Obama campaign wasn't the one trying to claim that they were humble pie/"just folks" or whatever.

McCain is the one who started with all the "elitist celebrity" crap about Obama. He simply pointed out that McCain's pot was blacker than Obama's kettle (or whatever).

The fact is, *no one* makes it to that level of power/success without having a few bucks in the bank. Even Joe "Amtrak" Biden was bringing in a quarter-million per year before making it to VP.

BlueDjinn: Ummm...the difference, subby, is that the Obama campaign wasn't the one trying to claim that they were humble pie/"just folks" or whatever.

or you could read the article:

During the campaign season, President Obama sneered at McCain's houses. "John McCain has seven homes. There's just a fundamental gap of understanding between John McCain's world and what people are going through every single day here in America," Barack the Ordinary Guy scoffed. "You don't have to be a Nobel Prize-laureate economist, you just have to have a little bit of a sense of what ordinary people are going through to understand that we can't afford eight more years or four more years or one more year of the failed economic policies that George Bush has put in place."

another tragic tale of persecution and woe.

oh well.

I don't care how much they cost: They are ugly.

Michelle Malkin 2009, same as Michelle Malkin in all previous years: stupid biatch hung-up on irrelevant shiat. Keep it up Michelle, it's doing wonders for your "movement!!"

AHHHH HA HA HA HA!!!

Is this something we can impeach over ? C'mon, "conservatives"... this is your big opportunity. Go get him !!!

What's your point, exactly? I fail to see how what Obama said isn't valid, or even applies to this article.

Conservative wingnuts 2008: Wharrgarbl. Conservative wingnuts 2009: Seriously, we got farkin nothing. Xtreme Warrgarbl.

...and? The Obamas never once claimed they were ordinary folk. They're both multi-millionaires, and everyone knows it. The story between Obama and McCain there was that McCain was saying he knew what the ordinary Joe was going through, but couldn't remember how many houses he and his wife owned.

I think that between Obama and McCain, only one of them can really make the claim that they know what it's like to grow up without the comforts of money.

Plus, I really like how you're equating what the media writes with the position of the Obamas.

Oh, and to add fuel for the fire, my most expensive shoes have been $109 running shoes. All my running shoes end up becoming everyday shoes when I'm done running with them, because f*ck if I'm going to drop $100 for a pair of shoes I wear for three months and then toss.

I wear $80 Wellco desert combat boots every day. Most comfortable things in existence, go perfectly with khakis and can be touched up with a stiff brush.

FTW

How much does Townhall make off the ads on that story? They're hypocrites unless they're donating that money to feed the homeless.

Surprise Malkin link, -1.

tallguywithglasseson: Surprise Malkin link, -1.

It's like surprise buttsex. You don't expect it, and you feel violated afterward.

40Below

I prefer Corcorans. I have one pair, resoled many times, that has lasted me since the late '70's. Butter soft and tough as nails.

These shoes are five hundred dollars.

These shoes are five hundred dollars.

These shoes are five hundred f--king dollars.

Let's get 'em!

Five

Five hundred

Five hundred dollar shoes

I love how republicans argue so vehemently for capitalism, but when they see the Obama's spend their paycheck as they see fit, they freak out.

Hell, Obama makes more than most Americans on book royalties alone, so it isn't even taxpayer money.

Dude, gay.

Belleville is the real deal.

Bears repeating.

Also bears repeating.


Sometimes I'm impressed at how well spoken and "cut to the crux of the argument" you Farkers can be. People like who I quoted are why I'm thiiiiiiis close to becoming a TFer.

/my hat, I tip it to you

America was built on disposable income. It's farked up, but that's what we like here, and dang if I'm gonna be the one to screw it up.

Malkin goes with double standards in reporting and the best she can get is 'shoes'? Really?

C'mon, a wharrgarbl mouth of that renown has got to have more than that to work with. I mean, really Michelle, we have expectations of you.

If you think her spending of money in a recession is bad...think about how much of your money her husband is spending....

I don't know who this Malkin person is, but I've decided that she isn't reality-based, that she's an angry, bitter little person and I don't much care for her (new window)

Hurrrr durr LIBUH RULL BUY US....

*makes a bunch of spastic faces*

Well, don't get too excited. The ratio is usually something like 2-3 post with a clue vs. 300 rote regurgitating partisan talking points.

TheDumbBlonde: I don't care how much they cost: They are ugly.

I hate to agree with you but that's the first thing I thought too. I luv Michelle Obama for all the energy she is putting into being FLOTUS but Jill Biden is the real fashion star of the WH.

//Please don't take my man card

Cute.

She points out liberals being absolute hypocrites and rather than respond or attempt to explain it you fall back on the tried and true method of liberals across the internet: When you don't have a talking point to tell you what to say, just hurl insults.

Hender: The Obamas never once claimed they were ordinary folk. They're both multi-millionaires, and everyone knows it.

Well, they are now. The single thing that made the Obamas rich was Barack running for President. He made more money last year than the previous 6 combined.

/Lots and lots of book sales.

Them miltary boots is f-ugly.

randomjsa: Cute.

Explain the hypocrisy.

There's nothing wrong in having a nice pair of shoes. Spending hundreds of dollars on Prada or Gucci clothes seems ridiculous but every man should own a nice pair of shoes.

I said it before today, and I'll say it again.
Will somebody please punch Michelle Malkin in the hooters with a chainsaw?


Thank you.

(A satirical drawing of said event would also be accepted).

Pure envy, is all this argument is.

Do you mean the poor homeless peoples...

...with camera cell phones...???

Hey man. The campaign is over. You guys lost.

Chariset: These shoes are five hundred dollars.

Let's get 'em!


===>8 CUT HERE 8<=========>8 END OF THREAD 8<=========>8 CUT HERE 8<===

I'd get some custom shoes made if I could afford it, i think it costs about that much from at least one place that builds orthoses into them.

I've never paid that much for shoes. I mean I'm not a shoes person, though there are some awesome boots from The Rock I'd love to own someday. On the other hand I recently shelled out over two hundred bucks for a set of scuba fins, so to each their own.

/and even the The Rock boots only cost like three hundred

sniff, tearing up.

For the first time in her life Michele is proud
... of her shoes.

DING! Winnar.

Michelle Obama? Half of her wardrobe is from J Jill, at least as I've gathered from (entirely pointless) news stories. J Jill certainly is pricier than Target brands, but she's the wife of the most powerful man in the world, and she buys clothes off the rack.

Yet she gets shiat for one expensive pair of sneakers. Where do you even begin with this?

"Let's put aside the fact that many of the same Wall Street moneymen that engineered the corporate bailouts are now in charge of steering the same big government policies that Bush put in place."

I thought the Republican party was all about small government?
