Yep, the Obamas are just like you and I. They’re common folks who are hard-working blue collar Americans. They aren’t snooty uppity rich folks like those darned Bushes that just left. They’re every man!
While volunteering Wednesday at a D.C. food bank, the First Lady sported her usual J.Crew cardigan, a pair of utilitarian capri pants and, on her feet, a sneaky splurge: trainers that go for $540.
That’s right: These sneakers – suede, with grosgrain ribbon laces and metallic pink toe caps – are made by French design house Lanvin, one of fashion’s hottest labels. They come in denim and satin versions, and have been a brisk seller all spring.
$540? For a pair of sneakers? How many “common folks” who work hard to make ends meet can afford that kind of splugerific bullshit?
Remember, these are the same Obamas who labeled John McCain as out of touch because his wife owns a few homes. Pardon me if I’ve missed the point, but what part of $540 french-designed fashion sneakers denotes you as in touch, exactly?
Oh yeah… And they’re frigging ghetto-tastic, too.
