“The jacket is from White House Black Market and retails for $67 to $98 depending on the day because they love random discount events.
I have it. It's not expensive. I also have another jacket of similar design from there for the same price.
Please, refrain from comparing the shopping spree for a candidate whose campaign lasted two months to the daily wardrobe of the spouse of a head of state.”

“Liar, Liar! Pants on fire! It was MISTAKENLY identified as being from White House/Black Market and is correctly identified as being from Moschino. Want to retract your comment?”

“You probably missed the caption under the first photo, which says that HP mistakenly said it came from White House Black Market. The corrected information says Moschino, in which case Obama's piece is expensive. It's a great jacket and it looks great on her.
I don't care how much she spends on her clothes, as long as it is her money. Anyway, she's always mixed and matched expensive and inexpensive pieces.”

“Hipploytas' post is proof of the fact that these high end designer items become knock offs in the blink of an eye. "Trendy" clothes have a very short shelf life.. Since Mrs. O favors all kinds of clothes why not auction the trendy stuff off once or twice a year ? The proceeds could go to a scholarship fund for the girls in her mentor program...? This would be a win - win for everybody.”

Combat Brigades Will Stay in Iraq Despite Obama's Vow
Commented Mar 26, 2009 at 00:49:36 in World
“This article is extremely misleading. We were always aware that the remaining 35,000 to 50,000 (from 160,000) troops would be "transitioned" into a sustainment/training force. Did they think the soldiers making up these units were going to appear out of mid-air?
I really dislike this "gotcha" jounalism that pervades our media and is simply untrue. It's annoying and distracts from the real issues.
Aside from all that they just phoned it in on this article.”

“The problem is that there aren't supposed to be as many as 50,000 combat troops left in Iraq after 18 months. It contradicts Obama's campaign pledge to withdraw from Iraq.
The US is supposed to be done with Iraq. We're not supposed to protect them from the Iranians. We're not supposed to intermediate militarily in Iraq's internal affairs. We're not supposed to provide security. We're supposed to leave training personnel, an administrative component, and just enough combat strength to support them if there's trouble.
The whole reason why Iraq is going quiet (besides much better non-military operational policies) is that the Iraqis perceive that the US will get the hell out of Iraq more quickly if there's less internal strife. The instant there's US combat teams in operations supporting the Iraqi gov't, that peace is going to fall apart.
I'm pretty disappointed with Obama again. There shouldn't be more than 21,000 troops in Iraq (6 combat brigades), including the trainers. And if things go sour, we should still pull out, ala Vietnam. The United States is not the world's policeman or the oil companies' fixer.”

“Hello...Military in Afghanistan here. I love seeing our First Lady taking her pledge to support military families (Blue Star Families for Obama!) seriously.
There are serious issues in support for military families. They noted that many families receive EBT benefits but it is so bad that WIC comes to most bases and posts at least once a month.

Karzai Accepts Aug. 20 Presidential Vote

“I'm in Kabul. President Karzai was well aware that not delaying the election was never an option. He gave the appearance that he did the best he could annoucing that he wanted the elections to take place on time. However the secuirty concerns that existed in January, when the Independant Election Commission chose the 20 August date, still remain so it was all simply posturing for a better position than the opposition.
So over it.”

“I'll bet you an arm and a leg that Fowler treats people much the same way even without this show and its cameras. That's the real issue here. The show just happened to expose a profound jerk, and now that jerk is getting his comeuppance. In today's world, where so many irresponsible, destructive, self-centered, damage-causing jerks DON'T seem to get their comeuppance, I think many people feel relieved and happy that at least this one self-centered jerk (Fowler) is getting his own.”
