Obama's

I know this has nothing to do with the "International" Arena, but I chuckled to myself inside. 

Recently Michelle Obama attended a fundraiser in New York in the company of her husband, our President.   Presenting herself professionally she also sported $42,000 in 10 carat diamond bracelets. 

"Everyone must sacrifice for the greater good... Everyone must have some skin in the game. Everyone but Barack and Michelle Obama," wrote Jim Hoft of The Gateway Pundit. "Michelle Obama wore $42,000 in bling to a DNC fundraiser this week."

I know it’s a petty thing.  I get the insignificance.  BUT as educated as Michelle Obama is, I wonder if she sees the bottom line. The times this nation is facing, where the economy struggles on a daily basis, and unemployment rates are near double digits, do they realize they are being insensitive?  I don't attend an Ivy League, my name will probably never be in shining lights and even I know what is appropriate for each situation.  Obviously I am not going wear designer to a soup kitchen.
