Ann Romney's $990 Bird T-Shirt: Stylish or Stupid?

You do realize it's not just Air Force One? There is also an accompanying Air Force C-5A as well. A Boeing 747 burns 25,000lbs. of fuel an hour. That's $9000.00 an hour and it's 7 hours to 8+ hours to Spain from Washington DC. So just the fuel is over $144,000.00 roundtrip!

Comparing a 747 to a C-5A as far as fuel goes it's like comparing a Honda Civic to a Ford F-250 truck!

Now you are saying she could not fly in one of the Air Forces other less fuel burning aircraft like say the one that flies the Speaker of the House for a Vacation to Spain?

$990.00 Bird shirt

$1,200.00shoes

$$5,000.00pearl necklace

$500.00Skirt

$16,000.00 Rolex watch

$2,000.00 Misc.



Total outfit of the day $25,600.00, annual income of a low-income US family

$ 24,000.00.

It only shows how out of touch the Romney's are with the majority of Americans

She work, Ann never did

Agree

So the libs are against stay at home moms - thank you for confirming this for everyone

Absolutely not! Ann Romney is not the average stay at home mom;first of all she have 4 mansions, 3 automobiles, 2 limousines, 2 chofers, a personal maid, few nannies, a butler, in-home secretary, staff of 10 people in a daily basis for household shores, gardeners, handyman etc.

I'm a lib and I'm a stay at home mom.

I'm not against myself.

I love her toned arms.

And Michelle oboe wore a $10,000 dress to one dinner. Shoes were over 1200, WHAT does that way about HER???????

She work for it, Ann doesn't.

She does not work for it. She held one job, at a hospital for a few years until obie got elected pres. She LOST her license to practice law in a major scandal and has not worked since.

So, NO, she does not work OR earn her own money.

Michelle is a control freak and completely out of control now !!!

Hey, Happy Guy, how do you like the new law in South Carolina making gay relationships a legal non-entity?

How's that respect working out for ya?

You are so full of crap, Lanikai.

Michelle never lost her law license, and there never was any major scandal.

Michelle held many jobs, including the one at the Chicago law firm where she and Barack met.

Michelle has gone through Harvard, worked her entire life and made her own money.

Ann Romney has never earned a paycheck in her life.

It's her money to spend the way she wants, just like Ann.

Where's your proof of that?

Can you show me where you got that story?

I googled Michelle Obama's $10,000 dress and came up with nothing.

So far, I haven't seen Ann Romney use tax payer money to galavant around the world.

I'm sure you never will.

bama's out in November.

Don't be so sure. http://opinion.latimes.com/.a...

OF COURSE you will.. ALL First Lady's do, Laura Bush especially liked Africa and Alaska, those were her two personal favorites.

Mitt has already said he and Ann plan to return to France for more vacations. There ya go.

You will if she becomes First Lady.

And her tastes are much more expensive than Michelles.

Her tastes are much more than m bama???? Good golly, you don't look at what she wears do you? Or where she vacations and how many friends go? Look at her over the top shoes she wore to a homeless fund raiser. Over 400 dollars!

Like you say, it's Michelle's money to spend any way she likes, just like Ann.

Here's a teachable moment for you: The Congress approves an expense account for the First Family, which includes clothing and other incidentals. Once that expense account is tapped out for the year, anything else must be paid for out of the president's $400,000/year salary or their own personal wealth.

Ann Romney will get the same clothing allowance Michelle gets, and even though she is worth $250 MM and doesn't need it, she will get it and spend it all the same on those God-awful fish or bird t-shirts.

Michelle is worth over $10MM, and she gets the clothing allowance as well.

So the cost to the taxpayer is the same, whether it's $990 t-shirts or $500 sneakers. You can enjoy watching both women wear your tax $$!!

m bama, already gone over.

It's Michelle's money, it's Michelle's choice. Just like Ann.

No, its not her money.

Of course it is, that's how it works. Congress approves it.

You will if she becomes First Lady. ALL First Lady's do, Laura Bush especially liked Africa and Alaska, those were her two personal favorites.

Mitt has already said he and Ann plan to return to France for more vacations. There ya go.

Stylish would be a $20.00 blouse, and a $970.00 donation to healthcare, feeding the hungry, educating young children, clean water.......

Do you hold yourself and others to the same standards, or just the Romneys?

I maintain a higher standard myself..that is what I choose to do. To me 'style' has more to do with how you use what you have, than what you throw money at.

I can certainly agree with that, but what I'm saying is more "relative". Do you know how much they give to charities?
In 2010, they gave over 2.9 million to charities.

I know what charities they 'give' to....can we say 'Agenda' ? (I knew you could)...

No, I think you've got them confused with the Clinton's when you say their charity comes with an agenda!

not confusing, or confused...not comparing them to any one else, just looking at the truth in the light of day...try it.
