Agreed, exactly my point. It's not so black and white as being poorly-timed because of the economy, because I don't think some people would be bothered if the Obamas were making the purchase.
(And, to be fair, if things were reveresed you may have some conservatives criticizing the President-Elect if his White House made the purchases).
