The only reason men really buy expensive rings for their wives is to say,….
“Hey baby, I know I’m a dog, but that b-tch meant nothing to me!”
Of course we know of the reported – but yet unproven – affair rumors….
Shades of Koby, who gave her a rock as well? “Keep it quiet girl,…I’ve got a game to play!”
“Michelle Obama is to receive this £20,000 thank you from her husband for her support during the election.
The Harmony ring is made of rhodium – the world’s most expensive metal –and encrusted with diamonds. It is being hastily made by Italian designer Giovanni Bosco in time for January’s inauguration ceremony.
Only about 25 tons of rhodium are mined each year, mostly in South Africa, and as a result its price is typically around £5,000 an ounce.
The stunning thank you ring is made by top Italian designer Giovanni Bosco, who are based at Valenza Po near Alessandria and who counts a select list of VIPS’s and celebrities as his clients.
Rhodium is one of the world’s most precious metals and as a result only about 25 tons are mined each year and as a result it’s price is higher than gold – typically being around £5000 an ounce.”
Where it really gets good is that Rhodium is mined under – shall we say – deplorable conditions.

If you mean one of the best ballers on the planet, it is spelled Kobe.
Were you too lazy to google it?

3What, he couldn’t find an American jeweler to make a ring for his wife? Why is it bad to drive a foreign car when running for President but just fine to spend three times the amount it cost to buy a car to buy a foreign trinket for the first lady……. I guess that American jewelers don’t have a strong union.
Nothing like stimulating another country’s economy by increasing the trade deficit by tens of thousands of dollars on your own.
So what is the import duty on this sucker? About $3,000? Does he also need to report this purchase on his illanois tax return and pay the state sales tax he avoided by not buying this from a ‘hometown’ business?

4I agree with FredFry. So much for keeping it American. Hell, he could have bought her an Arkansas diamond. I’m sure he knows someone that could have gotten him a deal on it.
But I am sure “The One” will make sure that those are not blood diamonds.

6The fact that this is not an “american stone” misses the entire point.
Shortly after hearing this story today, it was followed by a report of a mother who diluted baby formula because her funds were limited, and in the process, almost caused her baby to die. What is wrong with this picture? Obama is no different from other capitalist politicians. Until we realize that capitalism doesn’t work, and strive for a better “system” and not just a smarter “politician”, nothing will really change.
