Your daily dose of Obama Derangement Syndrome: Romney surrogate and former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu claims that the Obama campaign is not telling the "truth" about the cost of that stunning dress worn by Michelle Obama at the Democratic National Convention, reports Talking Points Memo.
Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu questioned reports that the Tracey Reese dress Michelle Obama wore for her convention address Tuesday night cost $350 on a conference call with reporters Wednesday. Sununu accused the Obama campaign of peddling several lies, including the cost of the dress: "somehow I don't think that's the truth either."
The Obama campaign hasn't released the cost of the dress, but many media outlets have reported that dresses by Tracy Reese generally start around $350.
It's a quantum leap for Sununu to a question anyone's finances after his travel scandals while serving as President H.W. Bush's chief of staff. Sununu is a petty and angry man, as evidenced by his remarks earlier this summer about President Obama not acting like "an American." Sununu was born in Cuba, btw.
This is the best they have? An inexpensive, off-the-rack dress by a young Black designer? I'm starting to feel very confident about the upcoming election ...
They are grasping at straws. Now MO's 2nd Inaugural Gown....that's the one they should wonder how much it will cost.

The Republicans just don't want to win or be taken seriously. It is a good thing they are "white & male" - they have no worries.
As for Sununu, maybe he should "start acting like a Cuban."
And that dress, if there was NO official price released by the White House of the 1st Lady's office - why are labeling a price "range" lies. The GOP is one big lie.

Give me a break. The Republicans are that desperate for votes they have to even talk about a dress. What the hell wrong with these people.

THEY ARE SCARED BECAUSE THEY GOT IT HANDED TO THEM AT THE DNC. THEY KNOW THE WOOL HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM MANY OF THE INDEPENDENTS EYES AND THEY ARE SCARED AS THEY SHOULD BE.
