Sustaining Canada's Economic Recovery Act
Government Orders
10:45 a.m.
Guy André Berthier—Maskinongé, QC
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his question. It is strictly a matter of the government's political will. Does it truly want to attack the tax havens that so many companies, especially banks, benefit from? We do not have enough tax revenue. We do have enough, but we need more in order to support Quebeckers.
Sustaining Canada's Economic Recovery Act
Government Orders
10:50 a.m.
Richard Nadeau Gatineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am rising to speak to Bill C-47, A second Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 4, 2010 and other measures. The Bloc Québécois has a lot of concerns about this bill, and about the budget it implements.
The government will continue to treat stock options like capital gains for ordinary taxpayers. The Bloc Québécois deplores the fact that only half the income derived from stock options is subject to the federal Income Tax Act. The Conservative government could show fairness to the workers and collect $1 billion in tax by cutting off this gift. In addition, businesses are not being asked to pay their fair share to increase government revenue, except that they have to make source deductions to ensure that employees with stock options pay their taxes. That is something else that is missing.
This bill also attests to the Conservative government's inertia with respect to the environment and the fight against greenhouse gases. Only one environmental measure is included; it encourages the production of clean energy. A number of things could be put forward.
The government is ignoring the Bloc Québécois' urgent calls concerning equalization payments and increased transfers for education and social programs. $830 million in post-secondary education transfers are still not going to the Government of Quebec. The fiscal imbalance has not yet been resolved. The government is also ignoring recommendations concerning income security for pensioners. Large corporations are filing for bankruptcy and abandoning their employees who are entitled to pensions.
This budget implementation bill confirms the Conservative government's intention to spare rich taxpayers at all costs and have the workers and the middle class pay off the deficit. The ideology of the Conservative Party's neo-Liberal Reform government favours those who are well off. Just think of tax havens. When they were in opposition, the Conservatives were scandalized; now they fully support tax havens.
Yes to oil; no to forestry. It is just incredible what the economies of Quebec and all provinces have had to bear because of the Conservatives' abandonment of the forestry industry. To help the rich, they are refusing to implement a 2% surtax on incomes of more than $150,000 per year. The automotive industry, concentrated in Ontario, received $9.7 billion whereas the forestry industry, vital to the regions of Quebec and all of Canada, only received $170 million. That is incredible.
For all intents and purposes the environment was ignored in the budget. However, the Conservative government put $1 billion towards developing nuclear power, which benefits Ontario, Alberta and the oil companies. The latter already have generous tax benefits. In addition, no new funding was announced for the cultural sector, which is important to Quebec's economy. The neo-Liberal Reformers have refused to acknowledge the need to bolster employment insurance and the guaranteed income supplement for seniors, the most disadvantaged. They also refused to tackle the problems of affordable social housing and homelessness. These problems were completely ignored. The fact that women are the most affected by poverty has not been mentioned, either.
The current Minister of Finance's way of doing things reminds me of one of his predecessors. I hope that my Conservative friends feel somewhat shameful about the fact that it is 2010 and I am comparing their actions to something that happened a long time ago. Not a lot has changed. I am thinking about Alexander Tilloch Galt, who was the largest land owner in Canada in 1867, who also owned the largest textile plant at the time as well as the Grand Trunk Railway Company. He was closely involved with the Bank of Montreal and was the finance minister under John Alexander Macdonald, Canada's first prime minister. Who was he partial to? The wealthy.
He was loyal, a bit like our current Minister of Finance, to one of the sayings of John A. Macdonald, Prime Minister of Canada. To paraphrase, Macdonald said that minorities needed to be protected. The rich being the minority, their protection needed to be guaranteed. And he did his utmost to protect them. Then there was the majority, which had difficulty just making ends meet.
We have a similar government here, and the tradition continues. It is shameful. This helps to explain much of the Conservatives' economic vision, the vision of the current Albertan leader. Oil yes; forestry no. Automobiles, yes; affordable and social housing, no. Tax havens, yes; the guaranteed income supplement for our least fortunate seniors, no. I could go on. It is scandalous.
And just to report how things turned out, before Confederation, Alexander Tilloch Galt realized that he could no longer do business with the Americans. As you must remember—perhaps you were there between 1861 and 1865—the Yankees and the people from Dixie were fighting the Civil War in the United States. And who did the British Empire support? It supported the South, slavery and Dixieland. England supported the South, which was secessionist, to the detriment of the Yankees, who were federalists. It was completely backwards. British subjects were not popular with the blue coats from the northern states.
Galt was in a serious bind. So what did he do? This is interesting. He drafted a document to develop the British colony along east-west trading lines because for obvious reasons he could not develop north-south trade. He wanted to join together three provinces: the united Canada—which was divided into Canada East and Canada West at the time—wealthy Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. This document was called the British North America Act or BNA Act.
Galt was the father of this act. Why? To make sure it worked. In 1867, he became the first minister of finance of Canada. He had the newly minted Dominion of Canada borrow money from its bank, the Bank of Montreal, to build a railway across the country. What he did was a little like what the Conservatives are doing today. Know who your friends are; they will make you rich. Yes, yes, add to the campaign coffers. The Minister of Natural Resources could tell us something about that, seeing as how he is an expert in the field. So Galt had this big zipper, the railroad, built to pull Canada together. He even sold his own railroad, the Grand Trunk, to Canadian Pacific to further line his own pockets. Does that remind hon. members a bit of what we have been talking about this week?
For the Conservatives, it is useful to be both judge and judged. For the Conservatives, it is useful to favour the rich at the expense of the poor, and that is what we are seeing in this budget. There are things missing. There are some positive measures, but the poor are going to get poorer and the rich, richer. And that is very expensive.
Alexander Tilloch Galt was a member of the Conservative Party. And what was that party called at the time? Listen carefully. It was called the Liberal-Conservative Party. That way, people did not get confused; blue hat or red, it makes little difference, they have a good time and line their pockets. The current member for Pontiac should be happy with that title. He is being touted as the next leader of the Liberal Party of Quebec. It is not just the member for Bourassa. What is happening with the Conservatives makes no sense.
Coming back to Bill C-47, I will conclude on this note. We need to think about the workers at AbitibiBowater. Why does John Weaver get $27 million in bonuses, yet when the AbitibiBowater mill in Gatineau closes, the workers will not get $16 million in severance pay? That is what the Conservatives are doing, and their budget does nothing about this scandal.
They need to be put in their place, and that place is out of Parliament.

Devinder Shory Calgary Northeast, AB
Mr. Speaker, this weekend Canadian families and friends will join hands around dining room tables to count their many blessings.
On behalf of the Shory family, I wish all Calgary Northeast constituents from Coventry Hills, Harvest Hills, Saddle Ridge, Martindale, Castleridge, Westwinds, Whitehorn, Rundle and Vista Heights to Skyview Ranch, Taradale, Falconridge, Coral Springs, Parkridge Estates, Monterey Park, Pineridge and Temple a happy Thanksgiving.
Our blessings include the many veteran volunteers at the Indian Ex-servicemen Immigrant Association and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 286 in my riding.
This coming Remembrance Day, I ask all constituents to join me for my third year in a row at the Legion in Pineridge to honour those who have sacrificed so much for the same Canadian freedoms and blessings that we celebrate on Thanksgiving.
I also wish all Hindus around the globe a happy Navratri.
78th Fraser Highlanders Pipe Band
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Kirsty Duncan Etobicoke North, ON
Mr. Speaker, for 29 years Bill Livingstone, the first North American to win the gold medal in piping at Inverness, was pipe-major of one of the world's most famous pipe bands, the 78th Fraser Highlanders. Under his direction, the Ontario pipe band won 13 North American championships and travelled to compete at the World Pipe Band Championships in Scotland for 27 consecutive years.
In 1987, the 78th Frasers won world championship and made the landmark "Live in Ireland" recording, events that are seen by many as seminal in piping.
Livingstone holds the distinction of being the only person in history to have led a Grade 1 band to a world championship and to have won a clasp for piobaireachd at the Northern Meeting, the two pinnacles of pipe band and solo competitive success.
His place in piping folklore is secure with hundreds of professional and solo triumphs. Congratulations on a brilliant, unmatched and unique piping career.
Louiseville Buckwheat Flat Cake Festival
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Guy André Berthier—Maskinongé, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to highlight the Festival de la galette de sarrasin de Louiseville, which is being held from October 1 to 10. The 32nd anniversary of this festival will be very successful, as thousands of people have already attended.
This festival is a true showcase of the regional municipality of Maskinongé. The festival helps us reclaim our ancient buckwheat culinary traditions, musical folklore, and locally grown products, as we discover local artists and a very welcoming community. This festival is a touchstone and an opportunity to honour our long-standing traditions in this francophone territory in North America. For these reasons, and many others, we call on the federal government to maintain funding and encourage—

Veterans Affairs
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Peter Stoffer Sackville—Eastern Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, Sean Bruyea and his wife, as well as veterans across this country are owed an apology by the government and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Instead of being treated with the disdain that they were, they deserve to be treated with the highest of respect.
While I want that, I could not help but notice that the member for Nepean—Carleton decided to breach security at his own will. We have a Prime Minister who rides an ATV down a track. We have former member, Rahim Jaffer, who broke the law.
I just wonder if the Conservative Party of Canada would table in this House all the laws and regulations that do not apply to its members.
Maybe it is good idea the Conservatives are building new prisons, because just like Grant Devine's Conservatives, 17 of whom went to jail, these guys will be filling up the new prisons one day if they keep going on this route.
Status of Women
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Sylvie Boucher Beauport—Limoilou, QC
Mr. Speaker, October is Women's History Month in Canada. It is celebrated across Canada and by all Canadians. The Minister for Status of Women has announced this year's theme, "recognizing Canadian women in business".
The economy remains on the minds of all Canadians, and this year's theme honours women's achievements, now and throughout history, in Canadian business and within the national economy.
Our government has taken significant action to improve women's economic security and prosperity. We have created new initiatives like the kick-start program that will help give entrepreneurs the opportunity to grow their ideas and their businesses.
I therefore call on all members of the House to join with me in celebrating the important contributions of women who have made and who make our economy and our country—

Global Handwashing Day
Statements By Members
October 8th, 2010 / 11:05 a.m.
Raymonde Folco Laval—Les Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, October 15 marks Global Handwashing Day.
Here in Canada, handwashing is an effective way to protect one's health, but the situation in the developing world is similar to what it was here a century ago: some 3.5 million children under the age of five die of pneumonia and chronic diarrhea, deaths that could be prevented if people had access to clean water.
Handwashing is one of the most effective health interventions for women and children living in poverty. It reduces chronic diarrhea by 50% and respiratory diseases by 25%.
Yet the Conservative government dedicates less than 2% of CIDA's $5 billion budget to building basic sanitary facilities.
On behalf of the Canadian Association of Parliamentarians on Population and Development, I call on the federal government to abide by the 2005 Paris Declaration and increase Canadian investment in the Global Sanitation Fund.
Shipping Industry
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Rick Dykstra St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, on October 1, I had the opportunity to kick off the fall season with an announcement from our government for shipbuilding in Canada. The Minister of Finance and I announced tariff relief for new ships.
The new duty remission will lower costs for the industry by waiving the 25% tariff on imports of all general cargo vessels and tankers. Shipowners will be able to reinvest $25 million per year over the next decade. This will help the shipping industry save money, become more competitive and reduce its environmental footprint.
In St. Catharines, this announcement benefits Algoma Central Corporation directly, as it employs 300 people. Algoma Central Corporation is ready, and it is prepared to meet the needs of its industry, expand our economy and take the lead in the shipping industry when it comes to our environment.
The new duty remission framework will ensure a stronger Canadian economy and a brighter future for the marine transportation service sector. With a global competitive advantage, we can ensure Canada's recovery will mean success in the long term.
Nobel Peace Prize
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Jean Dorion Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois would like to acknowledge the fact that the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Liu Xiaobo, a Chinese dissident and non-violent activist for human rights in China.
Mr. Xiaobo became a symbol of the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989, when he was sent to prison for 20 months without ever being charged. From 1996 to 1999, he served three years in a labour camp for co-signing a letter calling for the removal from office of the then Chinese president and for seeking the release of those jailed in the 1989 movement. In 2009, he was again sentenced to 11 years in prison for having signed Charter 08, which called for an extension of political freedom and the end of communist rule in China.
The Nobel prize committee decided to honour Mr. Xiaobo despite threats of reprisals by Chinese authorities. Because China has become a major economic power, "China's new status must entail increased responsibility", said the Chair of the Nobel Committee.
The Bloc Québécois commends this courageous activist.
Opposition Coalition
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Gerald Keddy South Shore—St. Margaret's, NS
Mr. Speaker, unbelievably, this week we learned that the Liberal-NDP-Bloc Québécois coalition is alive and as strong as ever. The Liberal leader has long been in favour of the coalition and has said he is "prepared to form a coalition government and to lead that government". Yet now, the leader of the Bloc brags that he is the "driving force" behind it.
The fact that the coalition's policies include introducing massive tax hikes to pay for a 45-day work year and other measures that would put our economy at risk is troubling, but most troubling of all is the fact that the admitted driving force of the coalition is led by a party dedicated to the breakup of Canada.
Thankfully our Conservative government, led by the Prime Minister, is committed to a united Canada and to policies that will protect, not kill, our fragile economic recovery.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Judy Foote Random—Burin—St. George's, NL
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remind Canadians that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Canada and around the world.
Although much has been done to combat this dreaded disease, it is estimated that in this year alone more than 23,000 Canadian women and an estimated 180 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 5,000 will die from it.
As a breast cancer survivor, I know only too well the trauma faced by the patients and their families, and I understand the importance of early detection. With early detection, today there is a 98% chance of beating breast cancer. I encourage everybody to talk to their doctors about any concerns they may have and to have a mammogram regularly.
I am sure all members join me in wishing those suffering from the disease a speedy and full recovery, and in praying for the day when breast cancer will be completely eradicated and no longer an issue for women and men everywhere.

The Roger
As stylish as the Madison Avenue boutiques a few blocks away, The Roger hotel in midtown Manhattan is a true New Yorker. The lobby is fashion-show fabulous display of herringbone wooden floors, blue-velvet chaises longue and Mad Men-evoking houndstooth chairs. Upstairs, bedrooms are decorated with striking noir shots of iconic local spots, and many have views of the Empire State Building.

Dining information
Chef Julie Farias of hip local restaurant Goat Town consulted on The Parlour's fanciful bistro-style menu, which includes soda-dipped fried chicken, an oyster po-boy and a short-rib burger. Dairy is a great bet here: the restaurant uses selections from Murray's Cheese for – what else? – its grilled cheese and gooey, stringy macaroni and cheese. Breakfast goodies include pastries from Ceci Cela, granola from Sarabeth's, salmon from Petrossian deli, H&H bagels and a bespoke coffee blend from the Allann Bros in Oregon.
Top Table:
Grab a round two-person table near the windows, which are deep-set and have a striped window-seat that's ideal for stashing purses and extra bags.
Last Orders:
The bar serves drinks from noon until midnight; the restaurant keeps going all day from 6.30am until midnight.
Room Service:
The full lounge menu can be delivered to your room until midnight.
Hotel Bar:
Sit at the five-seat lobby bar to try cocktails developed by cult New York bartender Johnny Swet. The house drink, the Roger, combines champagne, chocolate bitters and strawberry purée, and we like the summery watermelon martini,with citrus vodka, St Germain and fresh watermelon.

Everyone is definitely gonna give a f*ck when you wear this medium-toned rusty brown topped with multi-dimensional gold glitter
For maximum coverage use the fingertip to tap shadow on the eyelid. A flat, fine tip synthetic brush is perfect for detailed application close to the lash line. Using a fluffy brush that has good movement, dip the tip of the brush into the shadow and apply with a "windshield wiper" movement throughout the crease of the eye. This will make your shadow appear soft and diffused like a total pro! When finished, close that sucker up tight! Don't leave the jar opened for long periods of time, you may lose some of the magic that makes the Super Shock Shadow so amazing.

Yohji Yamamoto and Edwin Denim, two darlings of the fashion and denim worlds hailing from Japan, have collaborated to bring you Yohji Jeans. Unlike what you may have seen online called Yohji Yamamoto Jeans, this partnership between these coveted Japanese labels offers something more Edwin-centric, if you will. Besides the standard raw indigo jeans, a you'll also find natural colored jeans, expressing a Yamamoto philosophy of a rebirth in its debut "Naked" collection. We think Yamamoto, a progressive visionary fashion designer, will reign in the stragglers who have resisted the lure of premium denim as a style staple.
[nggallery id=1025]
The collection is expected to hit shelves in June 2012. Images via Selectism.

TRIPS Enforcement and Developing Countries
Peter K. Yu
Texas A&M University School of Law
January 6, 2011
American University International Law Review, Vol. 26, pp. 727-82, 2011
Drake University Law School Research Paper No. 11-32
In January 2009, the WTO Dispute Settlement Body released a panel report on China - Measures Affecting the Protection and Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights. The dispute concerned the inadequacy of protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights in China under the TRIPS Agreement. While both China and the United States were quick to declare victory in this dispute, less developed countries might have become the dispute's unintended and unannounced winner.
As part of the symposium on the Anti-counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) and international intellectual property enforcement, this Article focuses on the implications of this panel report for less developed countries. It begins by recapitulating the key arguments made by China and the United States as well as the major findings in the report. The article then evaluates the panel report from the standpoint of less developed countries. It explores both the areas where the report has enabled less developed countries to score some important points in the interpretation of the TRIPS Agreement and where it has provided some disappointments.

3D technology is always being touted as the next big thing for home entertainment, and we're always skeptical (despite the long list of 3-D movies due out this year). But today LG revealed a new 3-D computer display that makes home 3-D viewing look a little more realistic. The screen measures 23 inches, it doesn't break the bank, and best of all it only requires simple glasses.
3-D visualization technology uses a trick to fool the brain into thinking it's seeing a three-dimensional instead of a flat object—the left and right eyes are treated to slightly different images. LG's system works by time-sequencing the alternate images in combination with simple polarized glasses, whereas other systems use more complex active glasses that blinker alternate eyes.
What makes the LG system clever is that the tech is mostly embedded in the monitor itself. Plus, the system results in an image that's twice as bright as typical 3-D displays—LG's touting it as the brightest ever made. Check out the demonstration video: You won't be able to see the 3-D of course, but you'll see the simulated fun the LG guys seem to be having.
We know the display is 1080p, and the technology LG is using will make it far cheaper than other similar displays already on the market. But we don't yet know when it will arrive or exactly how much it will cost.

On Feb. 11, the Emery County Democratic party held a dinner meeting to build support for future Democratic candidates. The evening began with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag presented by Sheriff Lamar Guymon and County Commissioner Gary Kofford. Following dinner the Vice Chair of the State Democrat Party, Rob Miller, was the first speaker. He said there is no need for Utah Democrats to drum up fear and negative attacks on political opponents. Instead we should be proud of the service Democrats are providing for the people of Utah such as fighting for strong schools and health care that is fair to all. He said if the Democrats get seven more seats in the Utah State House of Representatives this year, we could restore the balance of power Utah once had.
Craig Axford from the Democratic National Committee spoke next. He pointed out the importance of getting people excited about going to their precinct caucus meetings as well as the county and state conventions. He encouraged everyone to invite all of their friends and neighbors to attend the precinct caucus meetings on March 21.
The keynote speaker was Dennis Dooley, from the Carbon County Democrats. He called the subject of his talk Liberalism, God and Ice Cream. He said: "If you are a Democrat you will be labeled as a liberal. Somehow a nice sweet word like liberal has become synonymous with 'minion of Satan'. Now come on. If you go to the ice cream store do you want the nice serving person to be liberal with the ice cream or conservative with the Tutti-Frutti? The dictionary definition of liberal is: 'Not limited to (or by) established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry. Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded. Tending to give freely; generous; permissible or appropriate for a person of free birth; befitting a lady or gentleman'. Somehow 'tolerant' and 'generous' don't seem likely attributes of a minion of Satan.
"My favorite part of the 'Good Book' is in the last part of Matthew. Forgive me if I paraphrase a bit: "'Whatsoever you have done for these, the least of my brethren; that you have done also for me.' Sort of sounds like a commandment to be openhanded and generous.�
"We should all be humbled by the words of Abraham Lincoln. In the dark days of the Civil War Lincoln mused; 'In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God.' Then Lincoln questioned whether 'God's purpose is something different from the purpose of either party.' We would all be wise to remember those words. We have a President who claims that anyone who questions him is a traitor and a tool of the terrorists.
"My favorite Republican, Theodore Roosevelt, had this to say; 'To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.' If there is no oversight, there are no checks and balances. No President should have this kind of power. Benjamin Franklin said, 'Those who give up liberty for safety deserve neither.'
"I don't know about you Democrats but this Democrat is sick and tired of being called a traitor, being called immoral, being called ungodly simply because I check a D instead of an R. There is not one D in this room who is a traitor; who does not love this country. Your very presence here tonight testifies that you are willing to sacrifice your time and energy in furtherance of the dream of our Republic. I would guess there isn't one person in the room who doesn't fear God and seek to further his work on earth. I doubt there is one person in this room who doesn't have more family values in his or her little finger than Newt Gingrich ever conceived of.
"I know there is not a soul in this room who does not honor the sacrifice of our service men and women. It's time to draw a line in the sand. Time to call them on this nonsense. As Edmund Burke said, 'All that is necessary for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing,'" said Dooley.
County Chair, Gary Petty, thanked the speakers and told everyone to "be proud we're Democrats."
The evening ended with Glenys Sitterud (Vice Chair) and FloAnn Wilson (County Party Secretary) leading a drawing for door prizes.

At Sycamore Shoals, settlers fought the Cherokee, and retreated into Fort Watauga for protection. In 1780, the Overmountain Men gathered there for their march to the Battle of King's Mountain. Visit the site of early British fortifications at Fort Loudoun, now a state historic park.
With westward expansion, Tennessee, once the frontier, became a crucial prize in the fight to save or sunder the Union. With more Civil War battles fought in any state other than Virginia, Tennessee's cities, towns and farms became immersed in total war.

Skip to comments.First Lady Michelle Obama steps out in Lanvin sneakers and they're only $540!
Posted on 05/01/2009 5:09:44 AM PDT by Zakeet
Michelle Obama has taken casual to a haute new level.
While volunteering Wednesday at a D.C. food bank, the First Lady sported her usual J.Crew cardigan, a pair of utilitarian capri pants and, on her feet, a sneaky splurge: trainers that go for $540.
That's right: These sneakers - suede, with grosgrain ribbon laces and metallic pink toe caps - are made by French design house Lanvin, one of fashion's hottest labels. They come in denim and satin versions, and have been a brisk seller all spring.
They're out of stock at posh Meatpacking District boutique Jeffrey, and Barneys New York boasts a limited selection of the sneaks, which are a cult favorite among fashionistas.
Other celebrity fans of Lanvin's costly kicks include Ellen DeGeneres and Kanye West, who has blogged about his faves.
As the family's primary dog walker, Michelle clearly requires comfortable footwear.
"I got up at 5:15 in the morning to walk my puppy," she joked Thursday. "That's how my day starts. Even though the kids are supposed to do a lot of the work, I'm still up at 5:15 a.m. taking my dog out."
She'll be trodding on New York's sidewalks Tuesday for the first time as First Lady. Michelle will meet with staff at the U.S. mission to the United Nations. Later, she headlines Time magazine's "100 most influential people" gala.
(Excerpt) Read more at nydailynews.com ...
Skank shooze.....................
She could have gotten Converse or Vans for a tenth of that or less.
"I got up at 5:15 in the morning to walk my puppy," she joked Thursday. "That's how my day starts. Even though the kids are supposed to do a lot of the work, I'm still up at 5:15 a.m. taking my dog out."
***Oh come on. How stupid does she think we are? She has 4 people in the WH to do all of the doggie care.
And by the way, those sneaks are flat out ugly.
They're still ugly no matter how much they cost.
Clown shoes made for Bigfoot.
Where to begin...
Perfectly appropriate fashion statement if you're off to do a drive-by.
I don't care if she spends $540 on a pair of shoes. But, DAMN, those shoes are fugly!
>>...his brother could have added a second story to his hut for that....with gravity fed water! <<
Truth be told!
Wonder if Sarah had any $540 shoes for walkin' the dog in her campaign wardrobe?
Do as they say, not as they do. Typical elitist hypocrites who preach how evil money is and show their true elitist colors while dictating to others how they need to live their lives.
They look like Converse canvas, but the LGBT editions.
Or she could have bought a pair of $50 sneakers for herself and another 9 pairs of $50 sneakers for homeless people to spread the wealth around a little. That's the line conservatives need to take with spending like this. Leftist hate having their spending choices second-guessed.
Those are some ugly shoes.
The classy mirror-tipped shoes have their own thread!
If she walks her dog in those, she's gonna get really bad shin splints. Look like a pair of Converse with opalescent paint sprayed on them. I'd prefer Converse.
That's right, Dems, you elected common people. Idiots.
The Obamas are destroying jobs for Americans while Michelle creates jobs in Europe.
"Do as they say, not as they do. Typical elitist hypocrites who preach how evil money is and show their true elitist colors while dictating to others how they need to live their lives."
You might want to add that questioning their thought process is a no-no.
They'd be the first to pillory Laura Bush or Sarah Palin for wearing $540 sneakers. You can bet they would point out how many homeless people could be clothed or fed for what those sneakers cost.
or exposed
Hmm. $540.00 sneakers. Well, it's OK if you can afford them.
That amount of money would buy my Mustang torque monster a new clutch.
I wonder how much her sneakers costs before we all took her husband's advice and started cutting back.
Why not? The Obomas own tax slaves. They'll just have to work a little harder from now on.
(Starve the beast. Put all your money into your own bank account!)
The Obamas got a puppy?!?
Who knew!!!
Logic and common sense have no place in this world.
Off to the re-education camp!!
Everybody suffers except them.
Pray for America
They're out of stock at posh Meatpacking District boutique Jeffrey, and Barneys New York boasts a limited selection of the sneaks,
Oh Damn! I so wanted to get a pair so I can be one of the beautiful people,( BARF)
Michelle, you still a mule in horse harness.
We're asked to sacrifice. We're asked to voluntarily make our bricks without straw.
She needs a new wardrobe, so we all have to do our part.
I purchased a pair of atheletic style shoes at a Walmart (I was on business travel and that was as far as I could walk) for $16. They felt great and looked good enough.
That was a year ago and I still wear them.
How soon before we read of gangsta's shooting each other over these shoes?
First show in the new series, "Pimp My Sneaks."
I think she still prefers her open-hoof sandals for gardening.
I'm sorry, I'm still trying to grasp "posh Meatpacking District boutique"...strange images come to mind-and none involve shoes.(I'm just an un-hip hick chick, I reckon.)
One cannot do anything practical in those shoes!
But, consider the wearer.
Why do they make it sooo easy to fall for the class envy thang? I mean, in normal circumstances, I don't begrudge a body for what they fritter their dough on- maybe it's because they seem to just rub our noses in it?
Way to unite, Mo!
I've been upset with Obama for months because he doesn't spend our money as carefully as they would spend their own money. I was wrong. They spend our tax dollars exactly as carelessly as they spend their own money. They are disgusting beyond words.
Even if I could afford $540 sneakers for the entire family, I'd rather get ordinary shoes and give the difference to my church, to my favorite charity to help sick children, or to anything useful. I don't do conspicuous consumption, while the Obamas don't do anything else.
I couldn't care less about what she pays for her shoes. I buy $250 a pair sneakers because they help me walk (and mine are ugly too.) Who cares what someone pays for shoes...it's their money and they can spend it as they wish. Some guys buy expensive suits due to their line of work, some women buy expensive purses, etc. I don't want to be like the "class envy" types on the left, and fret over what somebody pays for something.
I think she looks like a very large man in drag. She's an Amazon woman. When she stands next to her sugar daddy, he looks like one of her kids.
This country is soooo messed up.
Evita Peron Obama
ewe gross..does it ever shaves its legs...
