Michelle Obama, who recently told the United Nations that Sesame Street is the "best thing I've done so far in The White House", is really enjoying her new life!
The Washington Post reports:
First lady Michelle Obama called her "current life" in the White House "a very blessed situation, because I have what most families don't have -- tons of support all around, not just my mother, but staff and administration. I have a chief of staff and a personal assistant, and everyone needs that."
"Everyone should have a chief of staff and a set of personal assistants," Obama said with a laugh as she spoke before a crowd of business executives meeting today during a "Corporate Voices for Working Families" conference at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington.
Along with the issues of community service and military families, Obama has said as first lady she wants to focus on the struggles of working families.
During her 10-minute speech, Obama advocated for sick leave for parents, flexible work hours for employees and on-site child care, which she said "is something that keeps many of us up at night....You're just wondering where are we going to put our children where we feel like that they're being safe, that they're safe and being loved. That will relieve many of the stresses that parents feel on the job throughout the day."
Must be nice for a woman who remembers as a kid growing on the south side of Chicago being ridiculed for trying to be educated and get good grades.
"I wanted an "A". I wanted to be smart. I wanted to be the person who had the right answer. And I didn't care if it was cool - 'cause I remember there were kids around my neighborhood who would say 'ooh - you talk funny. you talk - like a white girl.' I heard that growing up my whole life.”
Don’t bet on it.
Those who desire government control expect their superiors to act superior.
Meh...why should SHE care about the 16 million who are unemployed? A hypocrite is a hypocrite no matter how expensive her sneakers are!
She is going to suffer quite a comedown in just under 4 years.
"Rated on merit, ethics, work skills, ability ........I wouldn’t let her mow my lawn unsupervised."Right....for the Kool-Aid drinkers, it;s going to end VERY BADLY! We on the “clean-up” end of it will be damaged also.
Well, I certainly have a chief of staff and a personal assistant...Mrs. Dinasour
Communism always leaves terrible tragedy behind.
Michelle, where can I get one? I am sure since my mortgage and car will be paid off because your husband is in office I can certainly get my own personal assistant also.
Remember, socialism can bring these things.
It’s the faux suicide belt that worries me.
What could she be thinking?
It would have never left the press's echo chamber.
“If “everyone” is going to have a chief of staff, and a personal assistant, who is going to fill those positions?”
Lol, that was my thought as well. The only way everyone could have personal assistants is if everyone worked as a personal assistant part-time for someone else. That Michelle is so down to earth, such a real woman. She wears J. Crew for goodness sake!
“Let them wear Keds”
Too funny :)
“If you want a vision of the future under my baby, imagine a boot stamping
on a human face - forever ... “ Obama said with a laugh.
Well, everyone's chief of staff will have a chief of staff and personal assistant and they will have a chief of staff and personal assistant until everyone who is a chief of staff and personal assistant is a chief of staff for some one else silly. /sarcasm.
Thats what we used to call ——— rich.
code speak: We in the upper echelons of Government plan to make all of you our serfs.
“Everyone should have a chief of staff and a set of personal assistants,” Obama said with a laugh
I would settle for a job, Thank You very much !
I love it!
