Last time I had alterations done on a business suit it cost me about $30. An evening gown re-hem cost $15.
You wanna get Barack 'Barry' Obama's 'look'? He's a sharp dresser; but that doesn't mean he spent $2500 on a Valentino jacket! Try this- go down to the local last-season retailer (marshalls, tjmaxx, filenes basement, burlington coat factory, etc), spend $100- $150 on a nice suit (yes, this is an accurate price range for a non-couture designer suit from these types of retailers), spend another $50 (being generous) to have the sleeves done and the slacks taken in and hemmed, and you have a perfectly reasonable business suit that fits as if it was made for you. This is what us normal everyday cubicle-monkeys do... hell, I even had them do my motorcycle leathers! Rrrowr!
what sucks is how everyone is making an issue over money that was spent
so the media wouldn't say they were dressed like 'cubicle monkeys'.
keep in mind that the Palins are the only ones in this race that aren't rich,
even by Obama's standards.

and don't kid yourself, those suits cost at least $2000.00, ask any guy
who's ever shopped for a suit.

man, here we are talking about cloths rather than about this Obama
character who began his political career in the living room of a domestic
terrorist. or how he bought his house, with a $300,000.00 price break,
from a thief, or how he spent 20 years listening to a radical preacher!

i'm completely flabbergasted that anyone would even consider
electing this guy. shit, he's gonna get elected simply bedause
he's black for God's sake. i guess that'll prove we're not racists.

he has no experience at all and he hangs around with some awful
shady characters and, when asked about it, he pretends ignorance,
if he's really telling the truth that he didn't know about Ayers past
then hes a fool because Ayers is very open about his beliefs, even
to this day. he must be the only person in America that didn't know
about him, he sure ought to have known if he planned a career in politics

so, he's either stupid, or a liar, either way, he's undeserving of the
presidency!
