Mika challenges what Obama spends on his suits!!!!

[npincus]

What an ass!!! Now, i would like to know... what the hell is she implying here?

[specialed]

1. The point is he is spending HIS MONEY. Not the Parties.

[npincus]

5. Damn straight! Do we talk about McCain's $500 Ferragamo loafers now?

Oh Mika, you DON'T want to go there.

[VolcanoJen]

12. Actually, I'd argue that he's not running as a "Wal-Mart Hockey Mom."

Where are Sarah Palin's photo-ops at the Neiman-Marcus? She sure doesn't mind being photographed at Wal-Mart buying diapers for Trig, but let's see the rest of the story, Hockey Mama.

[npincus]

21. Bingo.

[OKNancy]

2. There have been several news items about his suits

He uses a USA small company... think I'll google and send it to Mika.

[npincus]

13. please, and post link here please.

I would like to know.

So his suits are made in the USA? Cindy's favorite designer is Escada- that's what she wears. Are those made in the USA? (I kknow...)

Michelle Obama, move aside as the fashion plate.

Shoppers have started asking for the Obama suit -- the navy blue, worsted-wool, two-button suit that Chicago's Hartmarx tailored just for Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama.



Barack Obama has bought five more Hart Schaffner Marx suits.

Even Hartmarx CEO Homi Patel bought four of them.

The Hart Schaffner Marx suits are sold at retail as the Gold Trumpeter collection. In department stores, they go for $1,500 apiece.

23. $1,500 a piece is very reasonable. Bush's Oxxford suits cost up to $14,000 each.

14. Ooh, dig up that pick of Obama with his feet on the desk

...revealing his resoled shoes with holes worn through. And/or the clip of the Obama family interview when Michelle tells of the belt that he wears is so old that they joke about it. :)

[Vinca]

3. Whatever it is, I'm sure Obama pays for them himself. nt

[Schulzz]

4. What about McCain's makeup costs then?

:rofl:

[gaiilonfong]

She is an IDIOT, she is sad because her facebook buddie Sarah is a LOSER

troll

6. Where is that shot of Obama with his feet up on the desk...

.. the one where the soles are all worn down.. Someone should email that to her!

[GobamaX]

10. Here it is.

[mamalone]

11. That's IT!

Now, I seriously think someone should email this pic to her... I'd love to hear her response.

[chatnoir]

17. Excellent - thank you!

:hi:

[oviedodem]

19. I think that is photoshopped but I could be wrong

[LittleApple81]

7. He looks so fantastic in everything he wears, he does not need $150,000.00 nt

[Fleshdancer]

8. Obama or Obama's campaign? THAT is the difference

If Palin had spent her own $$ on clothes then there wouldn't be a problem. Does Mika really think it's ok for Palin to spend the money donated to the RNC and/or McCain's campaign on clothes?

[Bad Thoughts]

9. She's trying to say that as a man, Obama can "look good for less"

It's a weak point. Palin could have a good campaign wardrobe for much less given a little fashion acumen.

15. suit for Convention

[NotThisTime]

24. His convention suit was 1500.00, how much was McCain's?

[zbdent]

16. Imelda McCain probably spends more on a few pairs of shoes than

Obama pays on suits ...

[npincus]

18. her convention outfit could have paid off my mortgage

and bought us a new, high-end car. (300K)

[zbdent]

25. heck, I was calling John "Imelda"

[npincus]

26. LOL- birds of a feather.

[ladjf]

22. A joke? nt

[Hepburn]

27. Sooooooooooo....the DNC is paying for his suits?

I think NOT!!!

Mika ~~ dumber than a box of rocks! :rofl:
