| $85 tote bag; $55 tank top; $45 dog leash?? And it is the Republicans who are out of touch with middle-class America?!?! Yikes. |

| Except for the dog leash ( I would never spend that much money on a god) this does not sound outlandlish for a couple that earned over $700K last year. |

| These aren't purchases that the Obamas have made, but Obama-gear that his campaign is shilling, designed by high-fashion designers. He wants his supporters to spend these amounts on tote bags and tee-shirts....hardly seems the middle-class America he seems to align with so closely. He's out of touch. |

Here is how to act "in touch":
Also, Romney took a $77,000.00 tax deduction on his horse. That's $77,000.00 that could have gone to the US Treasury. At least Obama is spending his own money. $45 for a dog leash seems unnecessary, but it's way better than taking a $77,000.00 tax deduction on your pet. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/17/us/politics/horse-co-owned-by-ann-romney-earns-a-spot-on-the-olympic-dressage-team.html?_r=3&smid=tw-nytimespolitics&seid=auto |

jsteele - reread man. His items are FOR SALE at those prices, not he BOUGHT those items at those prices.
That said, this is a Capitalist society (so far) and he (or the marketing company) is using that to get paid. |

Oh, and we just KNOW that the US Treasury is the most efficient steward of our money!

What was there to read. The post didn't explain that he was selling things at those prices. That is even less objectionable. Democrats don't' have Sheldon Adelson to cut $10 million dollar checks. They have to raise money anyway they can. |

You can't be serious. Ds have Hollywood, for pete's sake, as well as, apparently, the fashion industry. Give me a break. |

| I spent $39 on our dog 6' saddle grade leather leash. I figure it will last several years. No biggie. |

Yeah, and I can't imagine you are in the demographic that is feeling the pinch of these economic times - - go ahead and purchase your $85 tote bag and keep thinking you and Obama are doing your part for the middle class. |

After SCOTUS's CU gift to the GOP, you have the gall to imply that Dems should limit their giving in solidarity with those who are suffering? And leave them to the tender mercies of the trickle-down crowd???? |

Just looked at the site - they are not targetting the middle class, they are targetting people who normally buy Jason Wu and Vera Wang. |
