No one said anything when the gov. gave each of the Presidental elects Millions for their campaigns? Wasn't it like $85 million each? I about fell over! How many here will see that much money in their life? They were to spend it 4-5 months? Let's remember that Obama did not take his share. Don't know where he has gotten all of his money from and who he will have to "Thank or pay back" in some way...in the end, but someone believes in him!  Hey, it's really not their fault....they can't help themselves once<strong> our</strong> money fills <strong>their</strong> bank accounts.  Right?   Soooo, good luck America. See ya at the voting box because we are the ones who put them in office.....Sometimes they forget that too! What?

If by Barry you mean Barak, then you have obviously forgotten that he has also written a book which made him more than he makes as a junior senator.  Plus, he's buying his own clothes.  The DNC isn't buying his family's clothes for him. Jenn,

I read someplace that Jackie Kennedy said that if she spent as much as she was supposed to for clothes she would have to wear mink underwear.

Nothing here I see about Barry's $4500 suits and his wife's $8,000 dresses. You think they can afford that on a junior Senators salary. If you do, I've got some land in Florida for ya.
