Obama Buys Wife $30,000 Ring

[SportsAlmanac2000]

I understand it's your money, Mr. Obama, but buying a $30,000 present for your wife when our economy is in a recession doesn't really scream "change"...

30k is nothing to him. He's probably spent 10 times that amount making sure his birth certificate and school records are inaccessable.

 

[rolltide]

you mean buying a 30k ring from a company in Italy with material mined in South Africa will not help the US economy?

Fact Check.

WASHINGTON: Looks like Michelle Obama won't be setting aside her fake pearls in favor of a $30,000 thank you ring from her husband.

London tabloids reported that President-elect Barack Obama was buying a pricey rhodium ring from Italian designer Giovanni Bosco for his wife. But there's no truth to the report, said Obama spokesman Dan Pfeiffer.

The rumor began overseas and made the rounds of American blogs, including the Drudge Report.

The office of Giovanni Bosco, reached in northern Italy, also said the reports were incorrect.

Obama would (if the story were true although it seems it isn't) spend HIS money while Palin spent other people's money. Are you able to see the difference?

ahhhhh but Barack used his own cashola while Sarah The Duncecap used tax payers money. Probably tough for you to differentiate between the two ey?

 

[BetIt]

It was the RNC money not McCain's campaign...technically not taxpayer money, however, anyone who can't see the difference between the two have their head up their ass.
