Election '08: After revealing she had never been "really proud of my country," Michelle Obama damns business as "the money-making industry." By contrast, she says, the Obamas are in "the helping industry." Bad omen.
"Become teachers," she counseled. "Work for the community. Be social workers. Be a nurse. Those are the careers that we need, and we're encouraging our young people to do that. But if you make that choice, as we did, to move out of the moneymaking industry into the helping industry, then your salaries respond."
No disrespect to teachers and nurses, but there are problems with those remarks.
First, when she says "move out of the moneymaking industry into the helping industry," she speaks volumes. Apparently, well-paid people in all kinds of profitable fields are, in the Obama worldview, just idle, scheming splinter-collectors who help only themselves.
On the other hand, the social workers who make sure the cash flows from the various elements of the massive government bureaucracy are the great and noble helpers.
However, the oil CEO who invests billions of dollars of his firm's profits in the research and development of new technologies that bring hitherto unreachable deposits of fuel to the cars and homes of millions of Americans is very much in "the helping industry."

She really needs to shut up.
You can freaking quote me, 'cause I made it up.
and how dare they call her the "first lady" of anything. Why is everyone tossing around rhetoric like that and laying down as if that's a foregone conclusion?
Simple, take it away from greedy kapitalists
No, Horhay, I rather think she needs keep on saying what's on her mind. Let her have her say. Let it be shouted from the housetops.
Before it's too late.
For our sake, I hope they don’t wire her jaw shut....
The Ta Ray Za Heinz Kerry of 2008.
She may be as abhorrent as Herself the Vile and Putrid.
Socialism is an ugly thing even when espoused by a delusional liberal.
Naturally Obama’s Mama hasn’t a clue, most token quotas don’t realize where their good fortune came from.
They believe the government generates revenue.
A depression is where this country is going to see itself shortly.
Agreed!
Let her create all kinds of material for us.
Sounds like the next TeREHza Kerry already.

Spot on. I can only hope that she becomes even more comfortable on the campaign trail so she espouses more of her real opinions that she otherwise keeps guarded. I suspect she has many more socialist tendencies.
Adam Smith’s invisible hand chopped off by islamics.
Michelle "The linebacker" Obama's contribution to containing healthcare costs.

I’ll just say that on the Political Compass website, I come out only a few ticks to the immediate left of Milton Friedman. Needless to say, I’m scared to think what will happen if the Obamas get in the White House.
She is an entitlement queen. This is just obnoxious and insulting.
To the contrary...this should be very illuminating to people to know what is really in her mind. I hope she keeps talking...she's the best hope the gutless GOP has!
And a priviledges hypocrite. They made around $900,000 last year.
