13. Whoa, man. A pagan "grow dance" followed by some clear anti-American fist bumping.
This is NOT going to go over well at FOX NEWS! :scared:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It's no secret that Obama loves designer footwear. Her green Jimmy Choo "Glacier" pumps drew attention at the inauguration, and she wore $775 black Jimmy Choo biker boots at the groundbreaking of the White House Kitchen Garden.

http://www.suntimes.com/lifestyles/fashion/1555301,CST-NWS-shoes02.article

the sun times should have checked the price of the boots with Jimmy Choo online..the price is higher.......

I don't remember the last time i dug in my gardens with Jimmy Choo biker boots..$775 or $1,050 dollars ones at that..and I have alot of money!..and alot of gardens!

Please spare me..and don't forget to glance at the pictures!!


When was the last time you wore your Jimmy Choo boots to garden?????????..and no garden gloves??????

come fucking on!

it's a political photo opp..nothing more!

and as i said..this while her husband is fucking my back yard! The Gulf of Mexico.


You couldn't make this shit up if you wanted to!

19. maybe the boots were a gift and so what if she wore them


I've gardened most of my life and I usually didn't wear gloves. only if I was pulling on something thorny or rough.

29. Well unleashing all your venom at a puff piece will certainly do a lot to help them!
I'm an American out of work and I don't give a flying fuck if the First Lady gardens in a Vera Wang wedding dress.

Seriously, freepers don't even give a shit about this. Only on DU...

30. tell the people of Florida that it is puff when it was all on our local news..
and we have a 12.2 unemployment of millions out of work ..

our news brought out the point tHAT 80,000+ WERE TEMP JOBS AND PART TIME JOBS AND 48,000 WERE TEMP CENSUS JOBS AT $13.00 AN HOUR.. with no stability in these jobs..

Don't take it out on me..I am simply repeating what was on my local 5pm and 11 pm Local news!

Take it up with them!
