what authority does Sen. Obama have to complain about earmarks, having been responsible for $800 million of that pork barrel abuse and bribery. And that includes earmarks for the University of Chicago Medical Center, which pays his wife $300,000 a year. She is as hypocritical as her husband, as she tells students to go into public service instead of the moneymaking sector. Incidentally, Michelle Obama's salary went from $100,000 to $300,000 as soon as he was elected to the Senate.
Michelle Obama: High on the hog, dumb as a log.
