Barack Obama's campaign tossed around nearly $600 at Tiffany's last month - for a trinket that remains a secret.

Obama's team tapped his flush campaign bank account to pay the $572.25 tab at the famed jeweler last month, recently released federal fund-raising records show.

When asked about the curious expenditure, campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said, "That was mistakenly charged to a campaign credit card and the money has been refunded to the campaign."

Can't really buy anything of any significance for $600 at Tiffany's.

sounds like a simple mistake made by a campaign worker. I've used company credit cards to purchase personal items in the past, so what's the big deal? My company didn't care so long as I paid the bill myself.

Tough issues ... I don't think I can take much more of this.

Earlier this week we had.

"Why did Barack change his first name after beginning university from Barry to Barack." Then I read how his two children prefer "Sponge Bob" cartoons. And now this ...

Stop, please ... this has become torture.

While we've got some poor ol' GOP nominee walking around the Iraqi desert not sure who are enemies are. We just hit 4000 dead of a needless war/occupation. Homes are forclosing on every American block. We're on the midst of a recession/depression. etc. etc.

Are you sure you found your right calling in life???

I could use $600! I can't wait for the $300-$1200 or no money at all coming in the month of May from the Congress(Democratic controlled) and Bush(Saudi controlled) with their Economic Stimulus Package. And plus they mailed everyone a first class mailing to let us know. That's how I found out, because I don't watch TV or talk to anyone,.I just sit here and fret my life away worried that Hillary won't be president, and dirty filthy-mouthed Obamakids will take over the country and start smoking pot (do you have any, I need the medical kind?).

Bzzt. Wrong. But thanks for playing. It was someone from his campaign, it wasn't Obama himself.

Tiffany's sells crystal ware and pens. There is not a whole lot of jewelry in the store for $600.

Yea! It's new when you can't find any news. Try this:

Three days after the PS primary, the clinton sleaze duo will head to Los Angeles Superior Court to fight a Campaign Fraud law suit filed by Pater F. Paul. Check it out for yourself.


Log on to the Los Angeles Superior Court) and look in the CIVIL Column, then Click on CASE SUMMARIES then enter these numbers in the box BC304174. It is an active case. The YOU TUBE video will explain who Peter F. Paul is..

Maybe Obama got some tips on this from Kwame Kilpatrick, the Mayor of Detroit. That's a Kwame move, looking for that free money and living large.

A $600 trinket should be good enough for one of his beautiful daughters.
It could be a birthday gift.

Among the MSM this story is more newsworthy than either Hillary's lies about sniper fire in Bosnia or McCain's gaffes on Shiite Iran supporting the Sunni Al Qaeda.

Being that Obama should not under any circumstances be scrutinized -- EVER; then, this is a non-story, once again.

I am a great supporter of Obama's. I have given and will continue to give financially to his campaign. I could care less about this 'expense'. At least he has great taste. I love Tiffany's....lol. He's winning. He's run a superior campaign and will continue to run a superior campaign.
