Imelda Obama
Try not to let these tough economic times get you down. Bad as things are now, at least they're better than they will be when the hyperinflation sets in from Obama's spending spree, and when his energy policy causes prices to "necessarily skyrocket." Besides, even if we have to suffer, at least we can vicariously enjoy the high life being indulged in by others. Imagine how nice it would be to live so high on the hog, you could blow $540 on a pair of tacky-looking sneakers like these belonging to Michelle Obama:
Just thinking about it makes me feel rich.
On a tip from Viking04.

I kind of like them.
I'm sure that there will be knockoffs on the market that we poor folks can afford.

Actually, she should go for some open-toe shoes because I'm sure her feet are lovely, in an Aunt Esther kind of way.

never come between a African American and sneakers.

They look like Converse All-Stars with some cheap 'home' mods. Could have saved her $500 with a can of paint and some shoe polish.

Next up - diamond studded jackboots.

Eric, I was about to mention that she must be too important for some Chuck Taylors...

My gawd, look at the SIZE of those things! Gotta be 13's at least.

Sadly, money can't buy taste...

What a pair of gunboats! I get sick of Europe falling all over themselves over how glamorous she is. If she tried to be a Paris fashion model, they'd laugh her out of the room, with that caboose on her.

Proves the Motto:
"They like three things...loose shoes, tight pu**y, and a warm place to sh!t."
Well, two out of three ain't bad.

Only a MORON would spend that kind of $$ on those UGLY ass shoes. MORON!!!!

Wonder how much a pair of campaign shoes cost for Sarah Palin? Is the MSM yelling about the Obama Mama for this UGLY overspending on ONE pair??

I'm glad to see that somebody is re-instituting GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY!

Way to go first family..lead by example in this tough economy!! Fucking elitist assholes!!

$540! That should have given everyone an idea of how much they know about economics (and taste)! I've got a real bargain on a bridge to go with them!!

she was serving free food at a homeless food bank while wearing $540 sneakers - WOW - what an utter hypocrite. she told us america was mean; looks like its been good to her big ass hooves.
Posted by: carrie at May 1, 2009 5:47 PM
Damn she could donate them to the Somali pirates and they could become their next gunboats!

how many pairs of shoes dose SONIC THE HEDGEHOG and THE FLASH go through?
Posted by: SPURWING PLOVER at May 1, 2009 9:17 PM
Surely Michelle Obama would like to wear Manolo Blahnik, but her feet are like Frodo's.
She still gets the thrill of spending Manolo money on a girly-girl thing though, and it sends a hoops friendly message to the reparations crowd.
Remember how the media covered for Michelle saying she only wears J-Crew? (they lied)
I prefer Palin's red pumps any day anyway.
