Actually, after thinking about it, I wish Obama had bought the ring, it would make a great fundraising item for a charity, probably bring 2 million or more, and if Oprah bid on it, oh maybe 10 mil.

I love this "elite" crap.

NEW LONDON, New Hampshire (Reuters) - U.S. Sen. Barack Obama is running for the White House, but it was not so long ago that he was so broke his debit card was declined.

At an unscheduled campaign stop at Vessels & Jewels store in New London, Obama bought a necklace for each of his two young daughters and a key chain, spending $37 on his debit card.

Waiting for his receipt, the man who is hoping to be elected as America's first black president turned to an aide and said, "Have I told you the story of the 2000 convention?"

"After I had lost my congressional race I had been running on broke and I got talked into going to Los Angeles. I got to the airport and I tried to use my card but it was declined," Obama said.

So elite. Chose to be a community organizer instead of working at any law firm in the country with probably a 7 figure salary.

HE WROTE BOOKS, people, that a lot of other people bought. He sold those books for money - it is basic business. He didn't have boku oil dollars unlike some OTHER presidents I know. Why don't all the cry babies write a book and go buy your wives something nice.

I love how the oil magnate,who was born in CONNECTICUT and has a family lineage of unethical banking and foreign investments, can rule for 8 years and avoid the ELITE phrase, but the guy who came from poverty, put himself through school and made some money by writing about his story gets the "elite" brand.

Stop nit picking!

Oh, but wait..THIS STORY WAS MADE UP!!!

I just hope that some of the obamatrons see this and wake up to the FACT that this guy is elite and just like every other politician - do as I say and not as I do.

But as I said, it's his money and he can do what he wants with it.

My money is my money too, right?

Not according to libs who are gearing up to bend everyone over for a good screwing.

Furthermore, you would think Mr. Change would have been a bit more discrete about spending so much money for something so useless during a time of hardship for an increasing number of Americans. But the people that put Mr. change in office are just too stupid to realize that he is an elitist and with this he is rubbing everyone's nose in it.

Please tell me how Mr. Poverty put himself through school. Where did the money come from?

Libs spending? You mean 3.5 trillion, approved by a CONSERVATIVE president is not crazy? Read a book...

"Read a book"? I'm working on my masters in organic chemistry. What the hell have you done other than post ignorant platitudes on a silly internet forum?

3.5 trillion you say....

And how many trillions in bailouts are you libs going to hand out again?

"Read a book" you say. I'll buy you a pop up book. That's about your level!

Good luck Obama, if the price of the metal has been dug up by the Daily Mail, then you know its cheap and you have been stung.....
