Obama Rumors, Myths and Smears

A mole within the Obama inner circle discovered that Michelle Obama spent $674,000 on designer clothing during a recent shopping spree.

Hogwash. While it is standard practice to purchase new items on the campaign trail, Mrs. Obama did not spend thousands on new clothes. Admittedly, Michelle is a big fan of Chanel, Gucci and Prada, but she does not “pay” for any newly acquired items. In fact, several designers are encouraged to “donate” to the campaign. People can express their support in many different ways, some can write checks, some can hang signs, others can give at least five new pieces from their fall line to help the cause.
