Obama Resoles his shoes while Palin spends $150K on her wardrobe

The talk of the day is that the McCain campaign spent over $150,000.00 on the Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin's wardrobe:

Since her selection as John McCain's running mate, the Republican National Committee spent more than $150,000 on clothing and make-up for Gov. Sarah Palin, her husband, and even her infant son, it was reported on Tuesday evening.

That entertaining scoop -- which came by way of Politico -- sent almost immediate reverberations through the presidential race. A statement from McCain headquarters released hours after the article bemoaned the triviality of the whole affair.

"With all of the important issues facing the country right now, it's remarkable that we're spending time talking about pantsuits and blouses," said spokesperson Tracey Schmitt. "It was always the intent that the clothing go to a charitable purpose after the campaign."

Normally this wouldn't be a big story but it's been the McCain Campaign along with Sarah Palin as the lead attack dog claiming Senator Obama is an elitist and is out of touch with "Regular People" in small towns. You've heard the McCain Campaign's talking points that Sarah Palin is the small town 'Hockey Mom' who can relate to 'Joe Six Pack' and is the only one looking out for 'Joe the Plumber'.

The story is not about the money she spent it's about the hypocrisy and how easily the Republican Party are able to dupe their followers. You think 'Joe Six Pack' can afford to go to Saks Fifth Ave and Neiman Marcus and spend over $150K on a fucking shopping spree? That's is at least a 3 year salary for Joe the Plumber.

Now compare Gov. Palin's splurging with a Picture of Obama I came across today, which had the following caption:

"Senator Obama was doing press interviews by telephone in a holding room between events. Sometime later as he was getting ready to begin his event, he asked me if I was photographing his shoes. When I said yes, he told me that he had already had them resoled once since he entered the race a year earlier. Providence, R.I., 3/1/2008."

So Obama wears the same shoes for over a year and even get his shoes resoled while Sarah Palin goes out and spends $150K on clothes and her hair in the 7 weeks she's been on the national stage. Now who do you think is more like ordinary people? The Republicans are all about stories and slogans, they are dishonest and are without any substance. They rely on the common folks being dumb enough to fall for their smoke and mirrors. But not this time.
