I'm viewing the front page of Google news and there's a story about Orprah being discriminated against in Switzerland. So what the heck, I click on it.
Apparently Oprah asked a clerk to get down a purse on a high shelf so she could look at it, and the clerk told Oprah she would not be able to afford it. Obviously, the clerk did not have a clue to whom she was speaking.
The purse costs...$35,000 swiss francs. That's $38,000 American.
What...the...fuck?!?!
Here's the purse:
It doesn't look like it's made out of platinum, which would justify such a price. It's not even big enough to hold 38 thousand dollars.
Who does that? Pays $38k for a purse.
Oh...yeah. Oprah.
Its her money, which she earned from working her arse off. If she wants to spend that money on a purse, she bloody well can!
it depends on your political affiliation, like folks here who pummeled Romney over a mechanical lift/garage in his house and now see it as a non issue that Oprah would spend enough to provide 15K folks with a food stamp EBT card for a year
I didn't know Oprah was running for president. Which election was that? It wasn't the last one.
and this matters why? are you not allowed to have money and spend it as you wish if you're running for office? not even you are that stupid...or are you?
and lets see; whose house is obama staying at in Marthas vineyard this week?

Romney should have offered him his New Hampshire house....

While Ms Winfrey is just SURE she was discriminated against, there is the real possibility that the store is not going to hand over a $38,000 item to ANYONE they don't know.
Further, I heard that Oprah previously complained about a similar incident, when she tried to enter a restaurant and was turned away. While she implied this was because she is Black, she neglected to mention that the restaurant was about to close. Just a little oversight there...
It is absolutely not true that I declined to show her the bag on racist grounds. I even asked her if she wanted to look at the bag,
This is not true, this is absurd. I would never say something like that to a customer. Really never. Good manners and politeness are the Alpha and the Omega in this business, the sales assistant continued. I dont know why she is making these accusations. She is so powerful and I am just a shop girl.

So what? Republicans tried to tie the Clintons to some "Whitewater" scandal and the reason it never "stuck" is because it's "small potatoes". The Clintons have made over a hundred million dollars since he left office. Obama will make three times that much, at least. Because people like to listen to and pay to hear smart people. Obama doesn't need to "do favors" like Bush did with all the no bid contracts. Republicans and Democrats are so different.
