Michelle went through two years of living out of a suitcase and enduring unceasing scrutiny for her husband. And her reward will be 8 years of not seeing him and STILL enduring unceasing scrutiny. Where's her matching necklace?

I guess you'd all be really pissed if you knew how much Michelle paid for the diamond encrusted cock ring, huh?

GORGEOUS. Can I have a simple silver ring for supporting you for the last 2 years too, Barry? ;) I'm a fan of turquoise, nothing fancy.

If she wanted it, loves it, and they can afford it, everyone just needs to stop their yapping.

Well good for him for saying thank you. I am going to just assume that it was something she liked and wanted and hell, he should spend it on her.

I don't really care about the ring - check out the price of arugula these days, guys - but I fear this kind of breathless reportage will lead to a Chris-Crocker-esque "Leave the Obamas ALONE!" backlash.

Firstly, THAT isn't the ring. It's a picture of a ring, used to illustrate a story. Secondly, these comments are strangely similar to the comments on The Sean Hannity Discussion Forum site.

@stacyinbean: well, to play Devil's Advocate, I'm finding the "MICHELLE IS SO AWESOME OMG THEY LOVE EACH OTHER THEIR DAUGHTERS ARE SO CUTE EVERYTHING THEY DO IS GREAT" tone equally irresponsible and tiresome. These people are people; fetishizing them does not help anybody, least of all them.

So what, if you have a conscience and want to help struggling people, you should forgo all luxuries yourself? How stupid.

Are the Obamas going to be treated to this celebrity-style scrutiny for all 4 years? If so, I feel sorry for them and sorry for us. It's kind of tiring!

Also, I think the ring is lovely. I doubt he would have gotten her something she wouldn't like.
