Classy: America's Fashion Icon Totes $5950 Handbag

I'm sure this accessorizes well with her $540 sneakers.

Nice message these wealthy, elistist liberals send when Americans are losing jobs.

For shame.

Is First Lady Michelle Obama sporting a taste for ultra-expensive fashion pieces, or is she cementing her status as a savvy shopper?

Back in April she wore a pair of $540 Lanvin sneakers at a Washington food bank. Earlier this week (while strolling the wooded landscape outside of Moscow), she carried a sexy black clutch, which Italian luxury house VBH boasts is their shiny black alligator manila bag – with a retail sticker price of $5,950.

Man, what a mean country this is.

Naturally, despite the photographic evidence, the idiots try and revise the price down.

Good luck with that.

The White House says she was carrying the $875 VBH patent leather clutch.

Why should we believe anything they say?

Told that Obama's office denied the bag was the high-end VBH clutch, Kelly Vitko, a rep for the company replied, "It’s definitely ours [manila bag]."

Rather than flaunting their excess wealth, why don't the Obamas walk the walk and instead of buying handbags worth nearly $6000 they can help feed needy families who've lost jobs due to Obama's reckless economic policies?

Don't they care about the little people?
