Looks like she’s playing in traffic.

“Hey Mo! Watch out for those 18 wheelers!”

“First Lady Michelle Obama speaks. Obama recounted how she took a high-paying job in the high-rise offices of a Chicago law firm. While she welcomed the paycheck, and paying down her student loans, she missed doing more fulfilling work.”


a high paying job which received a 30% bump in salary once her clown husband was elected senator of the state- but hey; that’s okay because to bring up that issue is racist...

Like "community organizing," for instance? Uh huh. As if she'd turn down the big paycheck if she had to do it over again. Her mush-head lib audience probably believes her too.

30%? If I recall correctly it was more like 90-100%

No, we aren’t allowed to have white schools. That would be racist. Black schools for some reason aren’t considered discriminatory.

She's an illiterate moron.

Merely descriptive. No offence intended.
