London, July 30 (ANI): Political commentators have vented out their anger over the fact that Michelle Obama wore a jacket worth 6,800 dollars to the pre-Olympics Opening Ceremony reception at Buckingham Palace on Friday.
Though the dazzling J Mendel jacket and skirt won critical acclaim from the style set, some pundits are furious that she elected to spend so much money on a garment while so many in the U.S. are suffering financially, the Daily Mail reported.
A post on the Gateway Pundit blog read that the design 'cost more than the average American family makes in a month (4,284 dollars)'.
"She does this as Americans continue to suffer through a deep recession and record unemployment," writer Jim Hoft said. "Michelle feels your pain." (ANI)
