Obama: Michelle 'Bad Example for Pay Equality' Because She Works for Free
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | June 19, 2014 | William Bigelow

Posted on 06/19/2014 9:20:28 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Jumping on the bandwagon Hillary Clinton revved up with her comment saying she and her husband were broke when they left the White House, Barack Obama said Tuesday that his wife is "kind of a bad example" for the need for pay equality because she does the arduous job of being First Lady for free.

At a discussion regarding manufacturing in Pittsburgh, Obama said, "I will say, the first lady's kind of a bad example because the first lady doesn't get paid. And she works pretty hard," then quickly added, "obviously, we're ok."

Obama touted Michelle Obama’s hard-nosed attitude when she interviewed for jobs before her current job. He bragged:

When she worked at the University of Chicago hospital, her first interview, she actually brought Sasha into the meeting with the CEO. She just wanted to kind of see, all right, how is he going to respond? Sasha was still in the bassinet -- you know, the car seat thing.

Michelle’s point, according to her husband? To inform her prospective employer, "this is who I am." He then imitated his wife’s argument:

I think I can do a really good job. But it means that if I have to take her to a pediatrician I don't want to have to argue about whether or not I can do that. And if you are supportive of my efforts with my family, then you're going to get 110 percent out of me. But you've got to have some flexibility in terms of time and so forth....

She works for free and costs the taxpayers of the USA a fortune since she lives more extravagantly than any queen in the world. She vacations as if that were her job. She’s shameless in her pigging out at the public trough, yet to liberals she’s “not getting paid” rhetoric resonates. Poor thing. Get a job.

She doesn’t work. She lives the life of an A list celebrity, but without ever having earned the money.
She goes to all the cool places, and gives her opinion. That’s her whole gig.

Lyndsey Lohan and Miley Cyrus deserve more respect. At least when they party and live the high life, it’s on their own dime.

Did Michelle send the Kenyan out to lobby for salaries for the first lady? She’s already vacationing every other week at taxpayer expense.

her last vacation alone cost the tax payers more than any 99 percenter will ever earn in their life time. Free? I think not.

What crap. The bs job she had at U of C was pure patronage for the newly elected state senator BO. As he rose in power she kept getting 50% raises til she was making 300,000 when he was elected president. They’ve been telling us for years you can’t even ask about marital status or family requirements, and she brings a baby to an interview? He’s been taking lessons from “Sir Edmond” Hillary Clinton.

I’ve got a great idea to fix that.

Lets give Michelle a nice job so she can stay out of our business and out of our lives.

So being a pain in the ass should be a paying job?

Yes, and it is big, isn't it? I mean, if you are unfortunate enough to walk behind her, you will get a full dose of that monstrosity that follows her around, and contains her brains.

Wrong, Dorkus. You work so she can build the future with her kids for your grandkids. Oh, I forgot, that makes me a racist.
