But Wait Until You See the Solid Gold Parka

Jack - when you get a clue about taxpayer funded campaigns vs. donation funded campaigns - then get back to us. Until then....well....you already know.

Any change that Jake Tapper is going to find out how much Obama has spent on his suits during his 2year White House run???

I doubt it...

You got to be kidding!! This is the best story you can come up with!! What did Obama and Biden spend on their suits, etc. and include the price of men's shoes, ties, shirts, etc. This is way over the top SEXIST! Get over it - you need clothes to wear when in the public eye! SEXIST - Would you please let us know what the men are spending for their suits if you write an article on the only woman??

this is not tax payers money. its the same money that NoBama's old lady has already spent on Iranian Caviar, Lobster and $100+ bottles of Dom for the post-election party.....

Well, that sounds strange to me..I thought you had to have a least a high school diploma and some techincal training in order to get a job like that?...Hmmmmmm.........He must have had connections...The average high school drop out wouldn't be able to walk into a job like that....Now if that's not a handout I don't know what is....And futhermore, how do you know about somebody selling drugs out of a cadallic at night?...You must have been in the neighborhood while it was going on..They say drug dealers biggest customers are the ones from the other side of town..if you know what I mean....

McCain's 'understanding' of the economic problems facing middle class or poor people in our country is no better than it has ever been which is NIL, NOTHING, NADA. When you have 'ALWAYS' BEEN WEALTHY, it is impossible to understand what it's like to be middle class or poor, so how can anyone actually 'believe' he has ANY MEASURE OF UNDERSTANDING? He doesn't keep a budget, worry about any of his 7 mortgages, worry about medical coverage or out of pocket expenses, or buy gas for his 13 autos, so tell me how he can begin to understand any economic problems facing regular Americans!

The same rationalization fits Palin. She may have grown up middle class, but has since lost all understanding of what that was like since she now shops at Niemans and Saks and never has to worry about paying her 3 mortgages, gasoline for their 2 boats or snowmobiles, etc. They are RICH and don't forget it! Besides in her case, she is also ignorant!

Jim, not hardly. Obama has a close family BUT HE IS ABLE TO BE APART FROM THEM. He is going to Hawaii tomorrow without the wife and kids. During his time in teh senate he did not ask that his wife and kids be allowed to come to all the events HE was invited to. He did not bill taxpayers so that his wife and children could accompany him...there are major differences between how Obama and Palin have handled their family lives while in office. There is no reason to believe that Palin or Obama would do anything different than what they have done in the past. Also, there is a good chance that Palin could become president (if god-forbid McCain is elected and dies in office). You have to imagine the consequences and stop turning a blind eye to patterns of misbehavior

THIS IS SEXIST! HOW MUCH MONEY HAS OBAMA SPENT ON HIS WARDROBE????

Mrs. Palin had DOCUMENTS DOCTORED to cover her purloined trips and hotel expenses for her family on the TAXPAYER'S DIME while governor of Alaska and now she is helping herself to TAXPAYER MONEY for a snazzy wardrobe. And you Palin fans aren't worried she'll cash in on your tax dollars if she makes it to the White House? She likes the good life y'all. Think twice. McCAIN AND PALIN DO NOT SUPPORT THE MIDDLE CLASS!!!

umm.. Joe the Dishwasher?

A "garderobe" is a privy. So-named because it was once thought that hanging your clothes in the privy would guard them from moths -- fumes you know.

Both the Palin home in Wasila [suburban Palmer] and the governor's residence in Juneau are handily equipped with flush toilets and other modern contraptions that eliminate the moth-repellant properties.

Ah progress! But what we save on perfume...

So the GOP is trying to make us think Palin is something she is not? HEr clothes were not good enough for her to be the VP pick? I'm a little irriatated as the policital neocon machine is always trying to get one over. She's not even the real joe six pack. LOLOL lies lies lies

A Big Wrinkle in Palin's $150,000 Clothing Allowance
October 22, 2008 9:24 AM

Following up on that Politico story about the RNC apparently spending more than $150,000 on clothes for Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin...

I wonder if the governor knows that she's going to have to pay taxes on those clothes, even if she ultimately gives them away?

Tax experts say that even if she only wears them for professional reasons -- locked away in a special "candidate" cabinet, say -- Palin will be on the hook for those fancy new duds just as if someone had written her a check for $150,000.

Wonder if she knows that.

JULIE - Thank you for your response regarding stimulating the economy through lower gas prices. There are over 240 million registered vehicles in opertion based on 2006 consensus. If 70% are in operation and each owner saw a conservative savings of $20 week over week, then $3.4 billion dollars was potentially spread across other businesses. We know Americans aren't very good at saving so it's safe to expect someone else took in the money. So, $20 over 52 weeks for 170 million vehicles, is roughly $176 Billion. I think the Dems are asking for $150B.

If you like low gas prices, vote for John McCain. One could also carry the discussion over to National Security based on Iran's response to lower gas prices just this week.

Regarding Obama spending his and his donors money excessively vs. McCain using tax dollars to campaign. If Obama is President, wouldn't he see taxpayers money his to spend?

what'd ya spect,,,,,,that she go to Goodwill? smear on paunch puncher..

Its funny you know what these supporters are doing at night Selling drugs. you are either their supplier or their number one customer. It's funny do you think that minorities are the only ones voting for Barack. You best friend may even be supporting the man. She doesnt want to tell you because of your Racist Views.

Michelle Obama the biggest racist of all.

STACY so did the Kennedys, The excuse of not being available is not valid. We are not horse and buggy here. The Village is all we heard from the Clintons for years. The Village needs to work together and create tighter family values. Well its here. The village has come to the VP slot and the family will take care of its self. If you want to use that arguement for debate then Obama needs to step aside. He will be to busy if he gets elected to spend time with his close family. The VP role though great is not as great and demanding as the Presidents. Therfore based on your assesment Obama needs to step aside because he will not be able to spend time with his chidren. Think about your arguement. Its twisted to get the result you favor.

obama it wont work, Colin Powell and Oprah also support Obama and they definately work

Accusing API of colluding with American internet bloggers in an effort to bring down her husband, Mrs Obama said she decided to call API because of what she termed, API’s help to spread rumours created by American bloggers and other racist media outlets in their efforts to damage a black man’s name, saying she hopes African Media was mature enough to be in the front to give unwavering support to her husband, a man Africans should identify themselves with.

When API told her that our online news media was only relaying what the American Bloggers and other media outlets had discovered through their investigations, Mrs Obama was angered and she came out loud with the following: “African press International is supposed to support Africans and African-American view,” and she went to state that, “it is strange that API has chosen to support the racists against my husband. There is no shame in being adopted by a step father. All dirt has been thrown onto my husband’s face and yet he loves this country. My husband and I know that there is no law that will stop him from becoming the president, just because some American white racists are bringing up the issue of my husband’s adoption by His step father. The important thing here is where my husband’s heart is at the moment. I can tell the American people that My husband loves this country and his adoption never changed his love for this country. He was born in Hawaii, yes, and that gives him all the right to be an American citizen even though he was adopted by a foreigner; says Michelle Obama on telefon to API.”

This is a very interesting turn of events. The American man Dr Corsi was recently reported to have been arrested in Kenya because there was fear that he might reveal information on Obama when he wanted to hold a press conference in Nairobi.

The question now is why he was arrested and who ordered his arrest. Was Obama’s hand in this in any way? We will never know the truth but what is clear is that Dr Corsi was seen as a threat while in Kenya.

When API asked Mrs Obama to comment on why Dr Corsi was arrested by the Kenyan government and whether she thought Kenya’s Prime Minister Mr Raila Odinga was involved in Dr Corsi’s arrest, she got irritated and and simply told API not to dig that which will support evil people who are out to stop her husband from getting the presidency.

When asked who she was referring to as the evil people, she stated that she was not going to elaborate much on that but that many conservative white people and even some African Americans were against her husband, but that this group of blacks were simply doing so because of envy.

On Farakhan and his ministry, Mrs Obama told API that it was unfortunate that Mr Farakhan came out the way he did supporting her husband openly before the elections was over. That was not wholehearted support but one that was calculated to convince the American people that my husband will support the growth of muslim faith if he became the president, adding “even if my husband was able to prove that he is not a Muslim, he will not be believed by those who have come out strongly to destroy his chances of being the next President. Do real people expect someone to deny a religion when 80 percent of his relatives are Muslims?; Mrs Obama asked.

Mrs Obama asked API to write a good story about her husband and that will earn API an invitation to the innoguration ceremony when, as she put it , her husband will be installed as the next President of the United States of America next year.
