Michelle Obama to receive $30,000 thank you from the President-Elect {Luxist}

Dec 1st 2008 8:24PM Can't wait for the outrage from Democrats over such extravagent spending in a time of financial crisis in America. Hungry, starving, homeless and financially harmed people and Obama spends a fortune on a bauble for his angry wife who thinks America is a downright mean country. When does the impeachment trials begin? Surely after Palin being crucified by the press for clothes that were not purchased at her request and Nancy Reagan's dishes bought by donors, this outrage will not go unnoticed by the press.

"The ring may be uncharacteristically extravagant for Mrs. Obama, but we're sure she'll find a way to wear it with all her usual grace and confidence."

Gag me. I had hoped after the elections the MSM would make some attempt to appear professional, but I was wrong. The gutter where journalists lie are still cluttered.
