It is kind of nice having a First Lady whose lingerie shopping habits don't disgust us.

Somebody should really photoshop a fake receipt for this ala The Waldorf lobster and terrorist caviar one from a few years back.
I'm sort of surprised the Telegraph didn't do it themselves. Seems like a missed opportunity.

Their purchases contributed to a market-spanking 12.5pc lift in sales.

I'd like to know how they arrived at $50,000. They didn't cite it and I doubt the store would ever say.
I would complain that British tabloids are lazy, but I imagine they're no more lazy than their readers.

Well, that's just typical these days of America. Just because someone like Michelle Obama has worked hard and achieved success, some people with class envy like you just want to tear her down. You know, if you valued hard work and achievement as much as the Obamas, then you could afford to spend $50,000 on something you like. But no, you just choose class envy. So sad. I weep for our country's future.

I know it's their money and all and she has every right to spend whatever she likes for her own (or apparently her husbands) enjoyment.
But . . . this might not be the best PR move given well . . . everything that's going on. Maybe tone it down a bit if you want to come off as "of the people".
You didn't see Eleanor Roosevelt spending thousands on lingerie during the great depression.

Sorry lib, but I speak the truth. I think it's pretty telling that dems like you call everyone a troll because you don't like the message.

Not that I think Michelle is a pig. I'm just...um...well, if I had to describe her as a member of the animal kingdom, I'd say she is a platypus. She's kinda cute, a bit awkward with being big boned, and she's got a cunning comeback that stings like a platypuses' sting.
On second thought...maybe it would be best to leave charicatures of politicial figures to the experts.

That's pretty typical that you don't even know what hard work is. Michelle Obama went to Princeton and then worked as a lawyer at a prestigious law firm working intellectual property cases. Then she went on to high paying jobs with the City of Chicago and Associate Dean at the University of Chicago. That's called hard work and achievement. HIGH achievement.
Maybe if you had worked hard in school than you could have gone somewhere better than Arizona State like Princeton or DeVry, but unfortunately for you, you did not.
Now you're just some angry lib trying to tear down HIGH ACHIEVERS because you are jealous of their achievements. It's not too late for you to achieve something in your life, but you won't try to achieve. Just class envy.

Class envy? And you're defending mo'chelle! Either you're an idiot, a troll, or you don't get it. I figure, you don't get it. Oh, went to a great college, not the one's you mentioned though. Damn, you're dumb. Now, think about it, idiot, you're criticizing me for criticizing Michelle, and I'm not the liberal. Think about it. If you can.

I bet this just burns you:
According to the couple's 2006 income tax return, her salary was $273,618 from the University of Chicago Hospitals, while her husband had a salary of $157,082 from the United States Senate. The Obamas' total income, however, was $991,296, which included $51,200 she earned as a member of the board of directors of TreeHouse Foods, and investments and royalties from his books.[51]
That is what ACHIEVEMENT looks like. I may not be as wealthy as Michelle, though I am very wealthy myself. I live in a 31-story Buckhead high rise condominium building WITH a concierge. I went to an Ivy League school - the University of Pennsylvania - for my undergraduate degree in economics and my graduate degree in management (Wharton School of Business). I do mergers & acquisitions (corporate finance). I drive a BMW.
I understand and applaud success. I don't say "Oh, your name is MO'CHELLE and I make fun of you because you are wealthier than me."
I don't know why I'm wasting my time with you. I'm just trying to give you an understanding of what it means to achieve success, but it appears all you have is hate for your economic betters. That's class envy.
I'd say more, but I have to be at the gym in 26 minutes.

No need to get so defensive. Notice how I said this was their money and they could spend it as they like?
I was merely pointing out that this sort of thing doesn't look so great. You can't fake a run to Target to look like a commoner then turn around and spend 50k on frivolities.

I can see spending a lot of money on lingerie. Quality stuff (not the stuff you find at Wal-Mart or whatever) costs a bit of bank. Some lingerie isn't just for looks. It has a function, you know. Especially bras... they don't call that a foundation garment for nothing. (Don't wanna get too gross or nothin' but gravity takes its toll, you know? Yeah, I'm old. What?) A good bra that will last a while can cost $30 to $50 or more, especially if you want something pretty and not just your basic over-the-shoulder boulder holders.
I think it's sweet that the President and the First Lady are in love enough that she'll buy expensive lingerie for him. It's great to see a woman who is independent, smart AND sexy. So you haters can go suck it. You probably couldn't handle a smart, beautiful woman who keeps it fit anyway.
