Why did the pres. Bush's wife spend $8500.00 on a dress?

Question

I know family's that don't make that much in a year.
Never had a want or need in her entire life?

Answer 1

it's not like her country is starving besides think of her as a rep of our country if she looks like poor white trash what does that say of us?

Answer 2

Probably for the same reason it cost $10,000 for the Secret Service to escort Bill Clinton every time he jogged to McDonald's for breakfast. Or maybe because of the haircut Bill got when Air Force1 had to shut down a major airport until they were finished cutting his hair. I guess the're both into appearance? Ya Think?

Bring all the facts to the table or don't play the game!

Answer 3

Wow, I'm impressed.

I guess you get the drift Old Man Wrench...

Her money and she should be allowed to spend it however she sees fit.

That would be like us complaining to you about you having a computer and access to the internet yet there are those who can't afford clothes. If you care so much about the impoverished maybe you should sell everything that is considered a luxury and hand the money over. Kinda silly, huh.

Answer 4

Because she can.

Its all relative. Money is a relative thing. So, they have lots and lots of money and 8500 bucks its not as big a deal to them.

I make decent money, and although 8500 is a lot to me as well, I have no problem going out to eat one time a week and blowing 150 to 200 bucks. To many families, that's a couple weeks grocery money and they could not fathom spending that on a single meal.

I know Bill Gates donates 3 billion dollars a year to charity. He has a house that he pays 1 million dollars a year on just in taxes.
Wouldn't it be better if he took the million bucks, more than most of us will make in our entire life, and just handed it out to the poor?

George Sores, the financier of the far left movement, gives millions and millions a year to fund things such as "Air America". Wouldn't it be better if he just took that money and handed it out to the poor?

Answer 5

Bush's spouse killed a individual whilst she replaced into DUI interior the previous. Al Quada could've been his numero uno rationalization for battling against terrorism because of the fact of 9/11. not in undemanding terms he created extra Al Quada contributors, all of them accrued in Iraq because of the fact of removing Saddam who saved administration in that area.

Answer 6

She represents the Office of the President of the United States of America. Hillary would probably have found a way to have the tax payers foot the bill. After all we can't have a the wife of the leader of our "village " running about in rags.

Answer 7

I HELLBENT, Santa's Saucy Liberal Helper, think that you should not worry about the First Lady's dress. If you are a liberal like me, worry about getting a job and keeping it for more than a week.
The Bush family works for their money and so should you. Maybe then you could buy a dress like hers.

Answer 8

Since when do you get to tell other people what they should do with their own money? What are you, just another loopy leftie Bush-basher who can't find enough to criticise? Here's a clue: Get a job, earn some money and then spend it how you see fit. THAT'S WHAT FREEDOM MEANS!!!!!!

Answer 9

Because she heard Hillary spent 33,000.00 on her dress and she felt obligated to spend such a small amount, that she would not look like she was flaunting her wealth!!

Answer 10

How is it any of your business what she spends? It's her money, not yours. If you want to sell all your posessions and give to the poor, knock yourself out. She chose to buy a new dress.

Answer 11

And your point is? Now we are going to be subjected to how much people spend on their clothes. She is not on welfare and screwing the govenment to get that money. That her and her husbands money to spend as they like. Communism is south of us in cuba.
