		<description>This is not true. It&#039;s the jewelers effort to draw free advertising dollars to their hunk of junk. If President Elect did purchase something this extravagant, we&#039;d never know about it.</description>

		<description>IMHO,  a large part of the issue here, is that americans don&#039;t believe black women are worthy of having baubles affectionately lavished upon them, by doting husbands, no less.  This reminds me of all the carping at Oprah when she was so proud of her girls school in africa.  Many euro-americans blogged and spoke that those girls didn&#039;t need such fancy things.  Yet lil Kaitlyn and Megan deserve a pony?</description>

		<description>Y/all forgot Neil Cavuto, the Fox news talking head. He said on his show, that Obama lost the election in August, because he was trying to talk to Hillary C,  and then offered to pay back some of her campaign debt.  Looks like it didn&#039;t turn out

Live and let live would be nice. Believe me, if Obama doesn&#039;t work out in 4 years, it will be Bye................... The GOP is really working up to this idea.  2-3 more seats in the Senate is a start.</description>

		<description>This story is so fake and I&#039;m wondering why Drudge-bucket hasn&#039;t been laughed right off of the net after he reported that so-called &quot;assault&quot; on the McCain campaign worker (what&#039;s that broad&#039;s name again?).  However, if it were true, why would people be so up in arms that Barack loves his wife enough to want to purchase something like that?  It&#039;s his money--he earned it through hard work so he should be able to spend it where and on whom he chooses. 

Once again this proves that mainstream society still has low expectations of blacks.  We are not expected to want better and to DO better for themselves or our children.  We are not expected to work hard for success or to enjoy the fruits of our labors.  We are not expected to be ambitious or to be intelligent.  What&#039;s really sad is that with all the issues we are going through as a country, some idiots are just looking for a reason to whine and to spread hate and dissention.  Charles Barkley was right--there are stupid people out there and they all listen to people like Drudge, Malkin, O&#039;Reilly and Hannity.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;When I was in college, some of the black men didn’t want to give their girlfriends roses for Valentine’s Day. However they had no problem doing so if they were dating a white girl&lt;/i&gt;

Before, during and after college, I never witnessed anything of the sort.  Black men routinely presented their girlfriends with gifts, including flowers and the very few who later dated white women treated them no better and sometimes not as well.</description>

		<description>Eva,

Yep, I&#039;ve heard about that with my parents. When my father would describe gifts or outings with his wife- flowers, dinners, plays, etc. - his co-workers were often surprised to find out that she, like him, is black.</description>

		<description>Do people read news, or only rumor?  An Obama aide already said that the ring story is not true.   Even if it was - so?  As long as it&#039;s their money.</description>

		<description>@ak:

What I meant was that when I was in college, many of the black men wouldn&#039;t buy their girlfriend&#039;s (black girlfriend&#039;s) roses but later, when some of those same men dated white girls they gave them roses.  It was as if they didn&#039;t feel the black women were &quot;worthy&quot; of giving them a gift for Valentine&#039;s Day.</description>

		<description>Eva black men who can&#039;t give flowers or who can&#039;t even pick them or think to grow them?

Wow sometimes the earth really needs to be scorched and I&#039;m not being sarcastic this time. Anyway Michelle Obama should be treated like a queen by her husband with his own money. Why should there be any drama regarding that?

Make some hoopla and noise when he uses taxpayers&#039; money.</description>

		<description>I think this is about something deeper.  There are a lot of people out there who think a black woman isn&#039;t worthy of an expensive gift.  When I was in college, some of the black men didn&#039;t want to give their girlfriends roses for Valentine&#039;s Day.  However they had no problem doing so if they were dating a white girl.</description>
