Comment: Fox news is going to attack everything about the Obamas. So with that I say fukk fox news.

Name: Reds
Comment: "They're "certainly not a reflection of the poor economy," quipped FOX News' … WTF does the economy has to do with how much the Obama’s can afford to spend. That only has to do with their financial situation, and from what I heard, they been getting paid from Barrack’s book deals. If anything, they should be encouraged to spend that money to stimulate the economy?

Comment: who cares? They wanna make a big deal out of nothing. Who in the hell is paying attention to her shoes anyway? If I looked at those shoes my first thought would have been that they are ugly...not that they were expensive.

Name: FiveMore
Comment: Ummm....I didn't know it was required of Michelle to only wear shoes from Payless at every outing, I really didn't know that.Michelle has a variety of outfits/shoes and I am quite sure that all of them are not from Walmart or the Gap.Those fools over at Fox didn't say a word about the Bushes excessive so they should not part their mouths about some damn tennis shoes that could have been a given to her.Give me a freaking break over here!I guess this is the price the Obamas have to pay for being the first black family in the whitefolk's Whitehouse!smh

Comment: Fox news is so full of it. LoL! It's obvious that they don't like the Obamas presence. They are becoming a real joke because they really go out their way to research the First Family to bash them to stay relevant. What a coincedence!!! LoL!! So I guess First Lady Obama is suppose to step out in some Payless specials. Not!!! I wouldn't even go in that store myself. Let it be known that she already had her own money before the White House and was accustomed to high fashion designer clothing. Why must she or anybody stop wearing expensive goods. There are alot of people who are still doing well in this economy who are shopping at high end stores. Just the ones who never could have afford it have to take a break either temporary or permanently because they were living above their means. Anyhows, those shoes are ugly and not worth $540. Definitely a waste of money in my opinion. I'm sure the homeless don't even care less about those ugly shoes, hell they just want some assistance and compassion for families

Comment: Damn, how much should the shoes she wear cost? Their statement showed they made several million dollars as a family last year. If she had shown up barefoot many people would find something to complain about. Well how many times in 8 years did you see Laura Bush feeding the homeless at all?

Name: Lorraine315
Comment: This is complete BS....the d@mn people at the shelter did not even notice her shoes- its not like she had a price tag hanging off them. The bottom line even she had worn flip flops from Walmart they still would of dissed the First Lady---there are many in the media-Fake Funky Fox News and others who simply do not like Michelle Obama

Comment: lol Grace, I was thinking the SAME thing. Sorry, but as many great qualities as M.Obama has, fashion is NOT one of them. Her style is very strange, and these sneakers are Exhibit #1. If you're going to pay $500 for some shoes, they should at least LOOK like it, geez. I don't know how she made anyone's top list of fashion, that's just crazy. But whatever...as others have stated, while Rome burns, we sit and talk about some oogly pink and grey shoes that have ish to do with anything. *Sigh*

Comment: ' Meanwhile, no one knows if the shoes were a gift, purchased on sale, or – as the New York Daily News surmised - acquired through Ikram, the Chicago retailer that usually outfits her.' All the more reason this shouldn't be front page news. I think it's vulgar anyway to spend more than $100 for shoes you're only going to like as long as someone else likes them - Michelle has disposable income and I wonder had she worn those ugly as.s tennishoes anywhere else what would have been said?! Something would have since she has become some unimaginative women's ideal for how to dress. Next!

Comment: I'll tell you what really makes this a ridiculous waste of time and space. It's a good bet that Michelle will donate those shoes and many others and those same folk eating at the soup kitchen will be sportin' them around town. A few years back some redneck wrote an OpEd piece that made it into the washington post and I, possessed of the knowledge that would square his as.s away, responded. He had visited the Metropolitan area and saw just way too many homeless men in like brand new nike's and reeboks and such. He decided that if they didn't spend their begging money on expensive shoes they could find somewhere to live. I joyfully told him about the program here that collects barely worn shoes (guys don't wear their shoes out - they used to throw them out until someone came up with this idea) and kindly thanked him for his concern. So, Michelle is experiencing our city and all it's caveats and I'm sure she will find somewhere to donate her gently used goods just like most of the rest of them that NO ONE talks about.

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: See why I don't get bothered by what people choose to spend their own money on? So wut if she did buy them? Yes they are ugly..but all things expensive ain't cute. As a First Lady..I think her style is A+ and befitting her age and time. All of this is a bunch of nothing. It was also nothing when they did it to John Edwards bout his haircut. OTOH..here's my dig for the day: Michelle just seems to fall in line w/the reputation blacks have...being materialistic. $400 on some snickers? OMG! I can't believe that. Just like black folk...lol

Name: TGen
Comment: Huey, I'm not sure where in my post you surmised that I had a problem with her hair, I said no such thing. I think her hair is nice (except when she wears it back into a ponytail, she does not have the face to pull that look off imo). So just for clarification, you are mistaken. I did call her style strange because it is. Sometimes she pulls off a classy look and then the next day she'll have on a poof skirt with ugly flats and a shirt with a big bow in the middle, lol. Eccentric is one thing, quirky is one thing, imo her style is neither. When she goes for the juggernaut like with these awful shoes and cacky capris (to do yard work in? why not capri jeans or sweats?) and mismatched sweather (it was grey and yellow, the shoes are grey and pink, wth?), it's just weird, lol. Again, jmo. I like her, I've said so many times, she's the only "Black" representation Black America is going to get apparently, lol, so I give her props. But sorry, fashion is not her strong suit. And that's perfectly okay.

Comment: To be totally fair, the media did bar-b-que John McCain last year when he wore $500+ Ferragamo loafers to a press interview held at his house. A lot of media folk made a big deal about him wearing "loafers" at the house costing that much given the then-sinking economy. I didn't think 'that' was a story and I don't think this one is either.

Comment: The shoes are pretty hideous. Around here, in the DC/MD area, we called cheap shoes maypops. "Maypops cost a $1.99, maypops make your feet feel fine!"...We called fake Jordans "Air Bobos" and you got some serious clowning if you showed up in some Air Bobos...Aside from that, I'm wondering why we're talking about shoes when Obama has a chance to choose a Supreme Court justice. Unless I missed that story/thread...

Comment: Queenie, I totally agree with you about what is 'real' news. After this Supreme Court session the President will have an opportunity to appoint a justice to the Supreme Court. Given Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, he will almost definitely have another opportunity in his first term to appoint another person to the Supreme Court, something almost unprecedented for a first term president. THAT is news. This shyte about expensive/ugly shoes is not news, and it's a damn shame that folk keep trying to make it news. Further proof that the world has turned on its head.

Comment: "Meanwhile, no one knows if the shoes were a gift, purchased on sale, or.." You don't know because it's none of your damn business. Mrs. Obama is a grown azz woman who is very much capable of buying her own damn shoes today and before she became the First Lady. Until all of those she devils who are questioning the First Lady's taste in clothes give us a play by play of WTF is in their closet then they need to STFU.

Name: Exmun
Comment: Boot, I'm sure that you were joking, and as usual you were funny. But Imma use your post to clear up a misconception. "Swine Flu" or the H1N1 virus doesn't have anything to do with pork. It's not like mad cow disease that travels with the meat. The "swine" part just describes its origin. So Black folks can put the pig on the Bar-b as if it's going out of style.

Comment: >Ex - well, I heard this morning they were wondering if Obama would put a real black person, er, another black person, on the bench or maybe a woman or maybe a Latino. He's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't in any of these options. A black would create the controversy that he's only putting his own in there. A woman would make blacks mad (like say, musb/TGen) cuz the person ain't black. A Latino would create controversy because of the possibility of immigration decisions being biased in the favor of illegal folk. If he has 2 choices, then the 3rd option would get ticked off over not being chosen. Oh, wait. He also has the option of an openly gay justice which would bust hell wide open. He needs to go completely out there and put an Asian in there and nip all of that in the bud. LOL...You see why I wouldn't want his job for all the money in the world? Do the damned thing, Obama! Let's also talk about another inconsequential topic - date night. He has 2 kids, a dog, and the responsibility of running the entire country but still makes time for date night with his wife. All the men who can't make time for their women because they are working, playing/watching sports, going to school, generally being inattentive - chew on that!

Comment: LOL@Boot..I "think" the scientists have said that there have been no known cases of infections in pigs which have been pas.sed on to humans. Ex..yep..they did it to Sarah Palin too. I don't care..if u money stretches far enough to buy some $800 shoes..so be it. Truth told, I would too. On the Supreme Court thing, I've been watching the television coverage of this throughout the weekend and I noticed some'n. There has been much talk about ensuring that a woman (more than likely hispanic) on the court. I have ZERO problem w/the pick being one of those. This should be a lesson learned. For those of us who believe that Obama doesn't owe an "interest group"...the coverage of this shows otherwise. When the few of us have made issue of how when it comes to blacks..we are told to step back and wait/realize that Obama isn't the President of Black America. Now we have the entire USA talking about how Obama should choose a woman when a couple of months ago..Burris and ne1 seeming to support him...were blasted for playing identity politics. You said that race should not be a factor. I don't think the media is being racist..I think they are doing what they usually do..overlook minorities. Has ne1 heard of any black women being considered? I read about Lears down in GA..ne1 else?

Comment: QB..ur wrong..the number of blacks who would be upset over Obama choosing a woman would be so small that it won't even bear an honorable mention. He's prolly gonna choose a hispanic. No complaints from me. So I'll accept ur cyberlogy. BTW..u said TGEN and I would trip if it were not a woman. Why is it that black women aren't being considered as "women" in this discussion?

Comment: What a non-story. I don't recall fixed news, faux news, klan news, take your pick, reporting on Nancy Reagan trying to keep the millions in diamonds BORROWED from Harry Winston, not to mention the thousands of dollars worth of designer gowns she BORROWED from some of the country's top designers. The President and First Lady earned well over two million dollars last year -- her money, her choice. faux news still fiddling while the republican party burns! Keep up the good work grand masters of the kkk!

Comment: and ya'll know damn well Michelle bought them shoes. QB..I never understood what was the difficulty in having a date night for any POTUS. You have King's staff waiting on you hand and foot, a competent cabinet..and all the extras known to man. Why not be able to have a date night?..lol

Name: LazySusan
Comment: All anyone has been crying about is how bad a dresser Michelle is. If she had worn shoes from Target, designers would be howling. I too think the shoes were given to her and she probably had no idea how much the daymned things cost. And the Fox Nazi News Channel is not a real network and they hate the Obamas. So to be blunt, I didn't even believe that those were her feet they were showing! They lie so daymned much.

Name: blackdragon
Comment: I cannot believe people are making a big deal of this. So she's wearing a $540 pair of sneakers. So what? Do you know how many people, particularly youngsters, are wearing pricey footwear like Nike? I have a $200 pair of Air Jordans in my apartment. Ever heard of sneakerheads? They're people who collect sneakers. Also, what's the difference between paying $200 or $540 for sneakers and paying $1,000 or $1,500 for Jimmy Choo high heels or Loius Vuitton shoes? They're all footwear and they're all expensive. If a person can afford to buy these things, it's none of my business if the person does it. Leave the woman alone.

Name: Reds
Comment: Exmun: “A lot of media folk made a big deal about him wearing "loafers" at the house costing that much given the then-sinking economy.” … This also, is not a bad thing, from the perspective of a sinking economy? With all the arguments out there now for stimulating the economy, people with the dough should be encouraged to spend it, not hated on. MSM need to check themselves before letting their personal bias against an individual cause them to make unreasonable criticisms. In the case of Fox, it is clearly a racist impulse to always trash the Obamas, which more often than not leave them looking stupid and desperate.

Name: queeniebunz
Comment: >musb - First off, Clinton had date nights, just not with his wife = problematic. As for the Supreme Court thing, I believe I said that you would have a problem with it if Obama DID choose a woman instead of a black person. Your comments here support that. You have this thing about choosing a black person. You just don't get it. You really don't. Of course women are going to have a bigger presence in politics. Women are 50% of this damned country. Blacks are 12%, Latinos 15% or something like that, Asians - I have no idea. Demographically speaking blacks are actually kicking azz and taking names in how much we put ourselves out there considering how small our population is in this country. Get a damned clue. Do I wish for a black person or a black woman - ya damned right. Do I think it'll happen - maybe, but not sure. I don't know and neither do you. I do know that if he doesn't choose a black person be it a man or a woman you will be beefin' about it. That much I know, oh militant one. And the most irritating thing about your militant stance as well as ole baby girl Tgen's is that y'all act like anybody who doesn't have their fist in the air 24/7/365 like the dudes from the Olympics is complacent. But go 'head w/your bad self and keep on plugging along with your "I hate Obama cuz he doesn't do what musb thinks he should!" campaign. Jeez.

Comment: Queeniebunz, black folks are still the biggest "minority" in the country. Why? Because there is no such thing as an Hispanic/Latino race. It's nonexistant. An Hispanic person is a white person of Spanish descent (Spain is a European country). There are plenty of white people from the Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking parts of the Western Hemisphere. Fidel Castro is white.

Name: Exmun
Comment: Reds, I totally agree. In a sinking economy rich people--such as a couple who made $2.4 MILLION dollars just last year ALONE should be encouraged to spend their money wherever and whenever. It stimulates the economy and "keeps things moving." Unless media folk and all of the complaining Cathy's start telling me how much they pay for their sh!t, I don't give a got-damn what Michelle O pays for her shoes. Would it have made a difference if the shoe in question was a $500 pair of Manolo Blahniks? I don't understand stupid people like the ones running mainstream media, and I'm not about to try.

Comment: Back in the late '50's and early '60's when Castro took power, he proudly exclaimed to one and all that his grandmother was an African. When Castro came to New York in the early'60's and was placed at a downtown hotel, he insisted on being moved uptown to the Theresa Hotel in Black Harlem, to the chagrin of yt america as well as his Secret Service protectors. Of course the Theresa had to put him out because he was slaughtering his chickens on the premises and cooking them!

BTW, many, many Jews in New York have hair similar to Castro's and they keep that coarse hair cut down as short as possible, but insist on being identified as yt.

Comment: Wearing the shoes to a food bank probably isn't in good taste. However, I don't remember us reporting how much other First Lady's attire/shoes when they did charitable work. Even if they were a gift, I think that it is in bad taste. Before Michelle Obama was the First Lady she dressed very modest, nothing to write home about.

Name: butterpecanrican
Comment: So what if the shoes cost $540 or $5.40. She was there feeding the homeless wasn't she? Didn't know there was a price limit on the clothes one wears to feed the homeless. As long as she spent her own money and not the taxpayers dough, big whoop. My only complaint is that she paid $540 for those ugly shoes.

Comment: Queenie, LOL. You weren't cute with that false-freudian slip about "real" Black person. Anywhoo, I totally agree with you. Our boy 'Rak is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Personally, I believe the reign of nominating white boys to the Sup. Ct. is over... at least for a little while. After the last two Bush picks, the white boys have gotten their fill. Personally, I'd like to see a Black woman on the bench of the Sup. Ct.--getting a two-for-one--Black individual and woman. However, given the President's politics, I suspect that he will go with a fairly "safe pick," meaning a "white" woman, or a hispanic male. I'm betting that he believes that he'll get another shot at a second justice with a replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsburg--when she finally resigns due to her health. I suspect that she waits until President O chooses a replacement for Justice Souter.

Comment: QB..I'm gonna azzume that you've been holding that diatribe all weekend and couldn't wait to get it out hunh? Did I not say that Obama I didn't have a problem w/Obama choosing a woman or a hispanic? Did I not say that? WTH is your point about those percentages? They are irrelevant and I'm surprised that you would even post such silliness. The 50% number u reference are the numbers from women across all ethnicities which INCLUDE black and hispanic women. The point is? But..u proved my point b4 I even made it. Black folk have been led to believe that even mentioning the word inclusion nowadays is unpatriotic. Now we have women and hispanics expecting the same inclusion and somehow..it's miraculously the "kewl" thing to do. Hispanic and women's groups are PUSHING for a woman or a hispanic to become a member and tho. I haven't seen people proclaiming that they shouldn't expect nething from Obama. As you have clearly pointed out, even mentioning the idea of a black person being offered the same..is blashpemy.

Comment: Michelle's "strange" sense of style is dictating all of fashion right now. Those simple over-priced ugly shoes are probably sold out right now. Which is another reason I think that they were a gift because once Michelle wears your shyt, is gold. She has American women wearing cardigans. Whatever she chooses for her kids to wear, that is what Americans want their kids to wear (ask JCrew). Whatever she wears, sells out in seconds (again, ask Jcrew). Designers slobber at the mouth and scratch at her door begging to dress her. Her own independent strange sense of style had made fashion globally bow down to her.

Comment: "So, Michelle is experiencing our city and all it's caveats and I'm sure she will find somewhere to donate her gently used goods just like most of the rest of them that NO ONE talks about." McNasty, exactly. I read years ago that Nelly wears a pair of shoes ONE time and then donates them to the less fortunate. They really don't know how we roll, don't take the time to research how we roll and want to continue the old stereotype about Black folks' over-consumerism. Yet, many, many of the homes being foreclosed on belong to yt people who took out loans for homes they really couldn't afford. Ergo, several have already committed suicide. Simple math: if you and your spouse gross $50,000 yearly, you cannot afford a million dollar home!

People in the media are always talking about the latte liberals (manhattan/DC/san fran) but who exactly are the people buying a Prius or one of them other ugly lil fuel efficient cars? Is sure ain't jo the plumber. It's the latte liberals w/their "thinking about the environment" selves.

She's a well educated lawyer who has earned enough cash to pay for whatever she wants! Not to mention her husband has money to buy whatever she wants!

Comment: >Boot - You ain't neva lied. When I went to Vegas last year, I was at Mandalay Bay - very nice/great price. We took a shuttle the 2 minutes from the airport each way. They have a train that goes 1/2 way into the strip for FREE. Then, they have a Deuce bus that costs $5 a day for 24 yrs. So we used that a couple times. We walked the rest of the time. We had family that took us outside of the strip. Translation = no car and even no cab. F*ck a cab and a rental car. For what? It's all right there. And I'm real cheap cuz any incidental stuff we needed - toiletries, etc. did not come from the overpriced hotel store. We hopped our happy azzes over to the CVS in the middle of the strip. I guess the valets, etc. aren't for cheap azzes like me. LOL

Comment: Musb: "I read about Lears down in GA..." Yes, Leah Ward Sears is my first choice. If the prez chooses her, it will go a loooong way in making me respect him more. I am really, really crossing my fingers that he doesn't disappoint. Judge Sears to the Supreme Court!!! But let me not get too excited. Exmun states what may the most depressing thing to read on this thread, lol: I'd like to see a Black woman on the bench of the Sup. Ct... However, given the President's politics, I suspect that he will go with a fairly "safe pick," meaning a "white" woman, or a hispanic male." Is that not the most depressing ish ever??? All this "safeness" from the prez is really, really dangerous. There's a such thing as being too "safe," it's the point at which it's hard for folks to tell what you stand for. The prez is coming dangerouly close to that point. (But let's keep our fingers crossed.) P.S. The Hispanic thing is a red herring. There are more ILLEGAL Hispanics in the country, but they should not count as American citizenry. I still maintain that Blacks are a larger minority because Blacks are LEGAL American citizens...and thus, we deserve representation instead of the joke that is Clarence Thomas. I fear that if the prez decides to go the Hispanic route it will be just another step in his giving in to the invasion of the illegals. And that's not okay.

Comment: 'Herbs/TGen, among lawyers a "federal" judge is a more likely candidate for appointment to the Sup. Ct. than a state court judge, even a state supreme court judge. Typically, presidents appoint federal appeals court judges to the U.S. Supreme Court. Judge Sears is impressive and I've heard her name over the years, but that's the rub with her as a pick. There is a dearth of Black (and certainly Black female) judges in the federal judiciary. Just an FYI.

Name: Quietstorm16
Comment: On the supreme court pick, I have heard Ward-Sears name mentionerd on MSM. I also heard them say that Obama could get to place at least 3 justices...so he can afford to pace himself. Lets not get too excited. All the liberals are pretty old and will probably retire within the next few years. Even some of the conservatives are old...who knows...

Name: Exmun
Comment: TGen, depressing my comment may have been, but you seem to recognize what I see with my boy President Rak and his tendency to not want to rock the boat right now. We all kind of hope that he'd do his damn thing in a second term where he had only legacy to worry about (and not reelection). But he's in quite a damned if he does damned if he doesn't type of jam. Personally, a second term is not guaranteed. Best not ruffle the Black folk. Take care of us now and man up with a Black woman on the high court.

Name: TGen
Comment: Musb, not sure what msm outlets you're speaking of. As QuietStorm16 states, Sears' name has indeed been floated around these past few days. And no, there is nothing at all wrong with her record, tis impeccable (fyi, she was the judge who overturned that boguus Genarlow Wilson lynching). And why do you think something has to be wrong with her qualifications for Obama to look over her? He's looked over PLENTY of qualified folks for key position. Howard Dean ring a bell??? Exmun, I don't follow you on the "federal" vs CHIEF state supreme ct judge. The law is the LAW, she is MORE than qualified. I will be very disappointed if Obama chooses someone who's not even a judge to be on the court. I know that has happened before but imo common sense dictates that a JUDGE should be elevated to the Supreme Court, not just a lawyer.

Are you saying that Blacks didn't overwhelmingly support Obama? Are you saying that even though Blacks are his MOST loyal and active supporters that he shouldn't worry about doing anything for them? Seriously? Taurusingr, what did you think about your president's answer to Andre Showell's question during the recent press conference of "what SPECIFIC programs have you introduced to combat the CRISIS in the Black community of over 50% unemployment among Black men in some places?" Your president, Taurusingr might as well had just said "None." He said some b.s. about "Blacks will come up with everyone else...blah, blah, blah." In other words this [half] Black man with this once in a lifetime opportunity, with this unprecedented power, has ZERO programs introduced to DIRECTLY address a crisis among "his" own brethren!

Comment: TGen/'Herbs, the federal versus state court thing is a matter of the types of cases that each typically handles. State courts, even state supreme courts handle matters of state law (as-in that particularly state only). The jurisprudence, caselaw that is argued, precedents, etc. are limited to issues of state law constuction. Federal jurisprudence is entirely different. They are issues, typically of constuction of the U.S. constitution, federal statutes, treaties, and the like and that body of law is a different body of law than found in state courts, even state supreme courts. It's not that Judge Sears is not qualified, it's that whenever you have a candidate who doesn't have a "record" vis-a-vis the federal laws that will come before the court, it makes it difficult to %*$ess how they will serve as a justice on the high court. Look, I'm totally in the camp of putting qualified people like Sears on the court. I'm just explaining why you might hear some scoffing if she were chosen. What I'm saying is more about the Ivy League intelligencia committee that runs Washington and every president's staffs than anything else. That crew recognizes federal court judges almost to the exclusion of any others.

Comment: Yep, it's not about the shoes. It's everything that the Obamas do. No matter how positive. Sarah Palin wore all kinds of designer clothes and no one said a thing. Someone should design a pair of sneakers entitled, "Chitlins and Grits" and see if they want her to sport them, too! Fox News is so sad...
