Michelle Obama is no Eleanor Roosevelt First Lady

The Democrats now have hopes that trotting out Michelle Obama before the November 2010 elections will cause her adoring underlings to overlook the mess that has been created by her husband and Congress. They may find that instead the little people may begin to look at her "Let them eat cake" attitude with jaundiced eyes. What a contrast with Eleanor Roosevelt who was also a First Lady during a time of economic depression.

Another mean-spirited rant by a rabid righty.

"First Lady of the Obama tenure wears designers clothes to the numerous celebrity affairs that she and her husband host at the White House and about town. By contrast, although Eleanor Roosevelt had a considerable fortune of her own, some of it inherited and others earned, she spent almost nothing on fashion. It was reported that she spent under $300 a year for clothing, often spending as little as $10 for a dress."

Apparently this ditz never considered inflation before writing the article.

Total inflation over the period from January 1933 to January 2010 is 1,579.74%.

Guess a $10 dress isn't really only $10 when you take actual facts and figures into account.
