Poll: Did Michelle Obama set back feminism when she told a job interviewer that her husband was running for U.S. Senate?

I recently came across this Michelle Obama quote from Parade magazine:

I took my last job [before my husband entered the White House] because of my boss’s reaction to my family situation. I didn’t have a babysitter, so I took Sasha right in there with me in her crib and her rocker. I was still nursing, so I was wearing my nursing shirt. I told my boss, “This is what I have: two small kids. My husband is running for the U.S. Senate. I will not work part time. I need flexibility. I need a good salary. I need to be able to afford babysitting. And if you can do all that, and you’re willing to be flexible with me because I will get the job done, I can work hard on a flexible schedule.” I was very clear. And he said yes to everything.

She got a do nothing job for a hospital paying a few hundred grand a year.

That set back feminism?

They agreed on a bribe

Where was her mom? After all the claim was that she had always taken care of the children. That’s why she was at the WH

This is known as May Mauing The Flack Catchers. Thanks Tom Wolfe

Would they have hired her if it were not for that connection? Probably not.

They brought his Aunt Zeituni to America to be their nanny and house servant ( wanna bet what they paid her)
The one who ended up on welfare in public housing but came to obamas inauguration to boost his halfrican creds
The one whose funeral obama skipped

***My husband is running for the U.S. Senate.***

And the news media went into orgasm overload because of Americas greatness and reported that a black man “BORN IN KENYA” was running for the US Senate!

She had a job at the U of Chicago Hospitals and Clinics in ‘Community Outreach’.....and making over $300,000/year. From what I have read, her job was mainly to send patients to other hospitals. And when she moved to DC, she wasn’t replaced.

That was a complete do-nothing job, paying her big bucks because of her husband being a U.S. Senator.

Her college thesis, btw, was on the topic of... racism she experienced at her Ivy League college.

I guess she’s ‘proud of her country’ now. She and her Halfrican husband bought an empty lot for $15 million a few weeks ago.

Community organizing pays well!
