A Ring For Christmas
RIGHTWINGSPARKLE — Obama is buying Michelle a $30,000 ring for Christmas and to say 'thank you' for the help in the campaign. Which is fine. More power to them. But imagine if Pres.

Here we are enduring a terrible recession. Investors have lost trillions of dollars in the stock market. Americans are losing their jobs, and at Christmas time no less. Spending $30,000 on a piece of jewelry doesn't represent the compassion or the hope and change that he ...
