Michelle Obama's freebie wardrobe
Rumors abound as to exactly how Mrs. Obama obtains her wardrobe
By Caroline May 07/14/2010It is no secret that the Obamas are advocates for free handouts, but even in her personal life Michelle Obama does not appear to have shied away from accepting free goodies. Numerous news outlets have reported on the first lady's proclivity for high fashion. And Mrs. Obama's pricey tastes have not precluded her ability to wear the outfits over which many women drool.
Rumors abound as to exactly how the first family obtains all the pomp and frills associated with Mrs. Obama's wardrobe. Do the Obamas pay for it all themselves or are the first lady's outfits given to her gratis? As with most things, it appears the answer lies somewhere in the middle.
Ikram Goldman, owner of the Chicago boutique Ikram, manages the majority of the first lady's sartorial needs. Any designer wishing to dress Mrs. Obama must first go through Goldman, who remains exceedingly tight-lipped as to her dealings with the first lady. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Goldman donated $6,900 to Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, yet it is unclear whether Mrs. Obama pays for her services.

To Candus, who wrote "just sayin..." that I accept donations/handouts here and recently asked for donations for Maddy's laptop for her pro-life work:
There's a big difference between a mommy/blogger who's trying to serve stating an honest, modest need (laptops are under $300) and a person who's living an extravagant, selfish lifestyle at taxpayer expense who is receiving gifts of $17,000+ earrings.
Readers can choose whether to contribute here. You and I can't choose whether to finance the Obamas' excesses - and the exposure/favors granted those who ply them with gifts.
Just sayin'. . . .

Dear Candus -
I feel no compunction to publish comments from people who hurl accusations and then don't have the courage of their convictions to leave an authentic name or email address.
I can see you're local, and so would love to have the opportunity to sit down and chat. You will be able to ask me anything you like and get an honest answer.
There's really nothing to be afraid of. Just email me and we can have coffee together.
