Michelle Obama Accepting Fashion Freebies

Monday, February 23, 2009 12:46 PM

By: Ronald Kessler

For years, the press excoriated Nancy Reagan for borrowing clothes and jewelry from designers. Yet Michelle Obama has been doing the same thing — without any outcry from the media.

Accountants say that the first lady’s practice of borrowing both clothes and jewelry raises major tax and disclosure issues, not to mention ethical questions.....................................................................

NO- Can't be-- Sister Sarah already sat precedent-- after they are worn out just give them back or donate them to charity- and everything is kosher.... Even the First Dudes and all the Dudettes clothes....

As usual you are missing the point, the point is people in the media and people like you do not speak out against a Liberal when they do the same thing!

Funny thing is you were the first to respond and my posting this is a slam at you not Michele. It is about how stupid people like you are for being Hypocrites!! You kool aid drinkers are so predictable! :lol: :lol: :lol:

No you are missing the point....The author is commenting about something that very apparently already has precedent-and previous rulings-- so why is he even suggesting it raises MAJOR tax and disclosure issues...
More rightwingernut innuendo to make it sound like there is something illegal or dastardly....

ssshhhh do you live in Bizaro world where everything is backwards from the real world?

The first paragraph shows the point, when it says

Do you know what excoriated means? Obviously you miss the point of hypocrisy of the media and goobers like you that the article is pointing out in its Lead Paragraph!

Do you understand the purpose of the lead paragraph in journalism writing?

You really need to get a clue OT you are showing your bias and senility more and more every day!

So in other words-with Nancy, Sarah, etc. all doing it-- its became an everyday common practice- so the media is not even picking up on it- except for this one who is trying to create some sensationalism and make it seem something dastardly... And he gets rightwingernuts like you that jump right in echoing it.... :roll:

sssshhhh again, it was only a couple months ago that liberal media and you were making a big deal about Palin doing it (even though it was different) and now some how you have miraculously became desensitized to it in a matter of weeks, so now it does not even show up on your radar anymore.

Do you even believe any of this crap?

And for the record Palin getting clothes for the campaign trail bought for her from RNC is a lot different than private businesses giving the first lady freebies I hope Obama never has to make any decisions that affect financing or any other area involved in the Garment industry, maybe something to do with illegal immigrant labor that is a problem with them.

You just have no clue do you OT?

And for the record if Reagan did it then it was wrong also!

Unlike Nancy Reagan, Michelle Obama has been funneling her acquisition of clothes through an intermediary, Ikram Goldberg, who has been mum on her role and on whether she receives anything of value for her services.
I guess since "She" is NOT getting the clothes then it dont count...............

The outcry is dimmed and it is now ok for the other side.
