May as well get the new year started off right  The girl is a fashion icon !!!!!!!! This really makes you want to throw up.  If I was going to spend that much on a pair of designer shoes, it damn sure would not look like I cut the top out and put a band aid across the top to hold it in place.

These shoes are worth $635??

Barack Obama enjoys living like a king, so why shouldn't Michelle Obama live like a queen?
     The First Lady was photographed last night in Hawaii wearing $635 per pair designer shoes by Maison Martin Margiela.
     A woman lucky enough to have a job in this economy and working for the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour would have to work 88 hours (without taxes taken out) to make enough to pay for Michelle Obama's shoes.
     The Obamas are staying at an $8.9 million estate for an estimated $4,000 per night.  To cover the Obama's ten-night stay, the minimum wage worker would have to work two-and-a-half years (before taxes) to come up with the $40,000 Obama is reportedly laying out.
     Obama has lectured Americans about how they can not expect to live their lives as indulgently as they have in the past.  He has lectured businesses about their travel and pay.  Yet Obama and his wife live like king and queen.
     The news media has yet to call him out on his extravagance when there is 10% unemployment with no sign of the employment picture improving this coming year.
     The way they spend OUR MONEY is an insult to every hard working citizen of this country.  GREED is their CREED !

Please send this to everyone, including Politicians, to see if any of them has the guts to start an investigation into the extravagance they show daily.
