    Before you people tear my first lady to pieces, designers borrow her their gowns and bags etc for publicity of their design labels. She can't afford to be buying luxury goods all the time,sometimes,they dash her or give her as presents and gifts,this luxury goods.

    Linda, what is staggering about a whole American presidents wife wearing a common $12 k dress? U Linda have more expensive tins am sure plus this woman is one of the most frugal woman in power I know. She often wears &20' &50 dresses.
    I think she deserves to spoil her self this once or twice.

    Obamas Seen in the Bible !

    Proverbs 19:10 (NIV): "It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury - how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!"
    Also Proverbs 30:22 (NIV) which says that the earth cannot bear up under "a servant who becomes king."

    First lady of what country? She's not the first lady of the world Linda,so make it a point of duty to state what country she's first lady of. Also,whenever you write any article on her husband or any American president, state what country he's president of. I hate her these Americans want to turn the world into a state under them & blind journalism keeps propagating that. Do you think the American media would address Mrs.Patience Jonathan simply as "first lady" or "Nigerian first lady"? You know why? Because she's only "king" where she comes from & not in their country.
    Didn't you address Mr.Hollande in this write-up as "french president"? That's the same way all of them should be addressed cos they're not our presidents/first ladies.
