Recently Michelle Obama was pictured at Target getting closer to the little people… voters. Obviously a staged photo-op as an AP photographer was ‘tipped’ of the event through his direct ‘tip line feed’ from the White House. Pictured were the First Lady and an assistant. But this staged event was transparent, pretentious and greedy.
That it was staged is evident. No Secret Service agents were anywhere in the photos. Obviously they were either in disguise knowing that a photographer was joining them or were told to stay out of the photos. The First Lady goes nowhere without a caravan of agents, vehicles and assistants it is SOP.
Then the First Lady is shown in common street clothes and sunglasses without her recent gift of that $40k bracelet. Guess she was not sure that the ‘common people’ would not mug her in the store. I guess she had to wear the sunglasses inside because she didn’t want to be blinded by the photographers flash. Notice also that she is pushing an empty cart knowing that her limo is right outside the front door and she won’t have to carry her items to the parking lot. While she carries one arm load of items her single assistant is double arm loaded with purchases. Very pretentious trying to show she is just a plain old American while treating the help like a pack animal.
This was an extremely expensive adventure. Imagine how much it cost and how much planning had to go into her little excursion. She has assistants to make purchases. She could have sent one of them to make the purchases at a huge savings to the public. But then I don’t think that is something she is concerned with.
Finally there may be a hidden agenda. A couple of years ago George Soros turned his massive attack machine on the Target store to demonized the store driving the company stock down because they dared to contribute to conservatives. Then he invested heavily in the store’s stock. It now appears he is using his ‘bought and paid for’ actors to now bring the store brand back to the lime light and raise his stock value. Is Soros then a wise investor or just a stock manipulator? I doubt President Obama knows or cares.
Really? She has time (and the interest) to personally shop at Target? Rubbish. Gosh I hate being taken for a fool.
