Obama Chic: Now Selling Campaign Gear for the One Percent

Obama? Why, he's the middle class warrior, isn't he? He's the veritable man of the people, darn it. He has beer summits and he chows down on burgers and fries just like us reg'lar folks. Gone are the arugula days, the million-dollar vacations and secret Hollywood star-studded Halloween parties…. one out of three ain't bad, anyway. On the other hand, perhaps all those claims of Obama's middle class appeal are a bit of a show. If Obama's new high-end, très chic campaign gear is any indication, he's driving right for the vaunted One Percent.

With such famous haute couture designers as Vera Wang and Diane Von Furstenberg, team Obama is offering designer tote bags at $85, t-shirts with the hefty rice tag of $55, and a "Thakoon-designed silk scarf" that will set you back $95. With all that you've hardly got the sort of gear you might wear to a beer summit.

It's all part of the Democrat Party's "Runway To Win" campaign to raise cash for the cause.

As to the Republicans, t-shirts on Mitt Romney's website cost no higher than $30, Newt's t-shirts are only $20 -- or you can get an embroidered polo for $40 -- and Ron Paul charges even less offering his Ts for the low, low, dime-store prices of $17 and $18.

It is just a small thing, of course, but it tends to add to the long list of proof that Democrats speak out of both ends of their… well, their mouths. On one hand they pretend at being the party of the people, yet here they are catering to the one percent with campaign gear that most Americans could not justify paying for. It is just a piece with the whole picture of the elitist Democrat Party, to be sure.

The list of designers for this new Democrat-wear (and at these prices it's a bit hard to even use the word democratic in the title) is filled with a who's who of today's hottest names in fashion: Tory Burch, Marc Jacobs, Beyonce & Tina Knowles, Derek Lam, Jack McCollough & Lazaro Hernandez, Tracy Reese, Narcisco Rodriguez, Rachel Roy, Thakoon Panichgul, Grace Tsao-Wu & Laura Kofoid, Diane Von Furstenberg, Marcus

Wainwright & David Neville, Jason Wu, Altuzarra, Richard Blanch, Eddie Borgo, Georgina Chapman & Keren Craig, Sean Combs, Prabal Gurung, Monique Pean, Russell Simmons and Vera Wang.

Don’t manage packers moreover to moving companies which have been certainly not finalized up, professional moreover to guaranteed. Will not choose any moving assistance offering you with an personal most cost-effective price segment approximate due to the fact it's the outstanding warning of any possible swindle.
