Sacrifice

Jim Hoft posted this and I couldn't get it out of my mind. I hate to be too petty about people's personal habits, particularly with regard to clothes and girly stuff, but this is really excessive. To be fair, I don't remember the press going crazy over Laura Bush's clothes, although there was quite a brouhaha about Nancy Reagan's wardrobe. But this is really remarkable, if you consider how MUCH money we are talking about with regard to clothing. For people who claim to be sacrificial public servants and who discourage private enterprise in favor of "service" to the public, this is pretty incredible:

Michelle Obama didn’t want to come off too glitzy at her hubby’s SOTU Address on Wednesday so she settled on an $1850 frock by Isaac Mizrahi.

Kristann reported:

First Lady Michelle Obama evinces no concern for the tens of millions of Americans suffering the consequences of her husband’s failing economic policies as she is once again seen flaunting her Imelda Marcos taste in ridiculously expensive designer clothers.

Women’s Wear Daily reported today that Michelle Obama wore a dress that retails for $1850 to the State of the Union address given by her husband, Barack Obama, on Wednesday night.
