Just One Question About That Gauche $30K Ring Obama’s Buyin’ For the Missus
By Debbie Schlussel
Who is the “other woman”?
Hey, this is the “new” Camelot, done Fitty-Cent style [no, it’s not a typo–rapper “50 Cent” pronounces his nickname minus the second “f”]. And the ring has echoes of the garish multi-million dollar ring Kobe Bryant gave his wife after, you know, “the incident in Colorado.”
Oh, and by the way, what was that Obama was saying about the “greed” and “corporate excesses” of Wall Street? What was that he was saying to Barbara Walters about how they shouldn’t be able to spend on these high ticket items, while America hurts and shareholders are suffering?
Hmmm . . . look in the mirror, Mr. Egalitarian. It’s not me who’s playing the politics of envy. He did that for the last two years-plus. After all that, buying this gaudy ring–that resembles Home Shopping Network fare, if not the pricetag–is beyond hypocritical. So much for Michelle Hussein Obama’s faux “I shop at J. Crew” any-woman BS.
By the way, $30,000 or not, that ring isn’t just gauche, it’s hideous. Looks like something someone who just won the Powerball jackpot would buy to show, “Hey, I’m Somebody!”
More proof that money doesn’t buy taste. Or class.
Exit question: Doesn’t this ring look like it came from Diddy’s or Snoop’s pinky finger in a rap video from five years ago? Or on the finger of one of the scantily-clad skanks they hired to shake her butt to the camera?
The New Hip-Hop Camelot . . .
… and just wait til Obama taps into Fitty Percent of your income …
