Politician shows up to help feed the poor in $540 sneakers!

[Sofiyya 1,687]

That's all well and good, but I really don't care about this story, nor do I care about what Michelle obama wears, or where

She chooses to volunteer.

I do think its hilarious that you think the spin on the story is more important than the underlying cause. That says a lot really.

The "underlying cause" existed before the Obamas and will exist after they are gone. The fact that they live one way while preaching to others about living another way and that we are discouraged from pointing that out is what says alot.

personally, i think it's a bit crass to show up wearing high dollar footwear at a feed the homeless event.

If she were not the 1st lady, we would not have heard sh!t about this. Besides, those shoes are so damn ugly, people should feel sorry for her getting ripped off like that.

Poverty is more of an issue in the middle of a recession with record unemployment. The specific regional impacts of that are not new.

But you know, shoes are more important.

Just do a Google search, "Michelle Obama's $540 shoes" and see how many Right Wing blogs are all over it like apesh!t. Barza Woman....who's slobbering over whom now? Pathetic.

No, what's more important to you guys is what Sean Hannity said about Barry's hamburger habits.

Nope I can't say that's very important to me either.

If it were, I expect I'd have gone off on a big diatribe about it - along the lines about how a pair of expensive shoes symbolises political corruption and the failure of democracy.

Maybe for you. For me, it symbolizes the failure of the liberal media to be fair and critical, and the lack of interest in how it's not doing it's constitutionally protected job because it's so in love with the Obamas.

This isn't that big of a deal, but it still shows amazingly poor judgment. I mean, really?

It's the Right Wing media that goes apesh!t over this kind of #######....so really they aren't any better than the slobbering liberal media now, are they?

"Michelle Obama sneakers" produces 157,000 hits. The media is certainly slobbering over the Obama's and it ain't just the libruls.

people must have some low standards if they seriously think that the media should give this headline attention. There's enough garbage in the news already, but the idea that this gives some merit to the fallacy of the liberal media is just silly.

People get so used to sensationalism in the media that they crave it.

[Peikko 1,575]

This ###### is still going on? In the scheme of things, those were not 'expensive' shoes, and more to the point, they were not ostentatious - they actually looked like ######, so I doubt the 'poor' were offended by their crassness.

It's laughable to suggest that the 'librul' media is 'in love with' the Obamas by not putting this NON STORY on the front page, or equivalent. There is nothing 'newsworthy' about it. Funny as ###### though, to watch those right wing nut jobs getting into a tail spin over it.
