If the candidates really want a message that resonates, they should show people eating hamburgers and hotdogs, not the expensive cavier and lobster and other high end foods. Here's a winning campaign slogan, "You can eat and be full without spending fortune." Now, that's an idea "real Americans" would vote for.
Try again.

ROOM DISSERVICE- New York Post
Quote:
THE source who told us last week about Michelle Obama getting lobster and caviar delivered to her room at the Waldorf-Astoria must have been under the influence of a mind-altering drug. She was not even staying at the Waldorf. We regret the mistake, and our former source is going to regret it, too. Bread and water would be too good for such disinformation.

So what?
Let's just say you were selected tomorrow to be a candidate for VP. Let's also say that your time would be totally scheduled for the next few months up to the election. Would you have the wardrobe ready to go in this situation? Remember, you are trying to get elected, so you may not want to wear the polarfleece you wore at home in your office.
If you libs are so bereft of any reasons why your candidate should be elected, that this sort of petty stuff is all you've got..too bad.

Silly me! Of course your right. $150,000 of donated funds ($2000/3000 bucks a day per outfit) is absolutely reasonable. Thank you for pointing this out.

What about the $400,000+ donated that was spent on food by Obama?
