Michelle Obama: "Don't Go Into Corporate America"

The Corner at NRO ^ | 29 February 2008 | Byron York

Now here's a woman who understands the average American, eh?

~snip~

Mrs. Obama also bemoaned the amount of money she has to spend — nearly one-third of the median household income in Zanesville — on piano, dance, and other lessons for her two children.

I am beginning to loathe this woman

Uh, well, Ms. Obama, if nobody goes into "lucrative professions", who is going to pay for all your husband's planned socialism?

And if the "helping professions" are so great that other people should sacrifice their own dreams to be in a "helping profession", why don't you, Ms. Obama, quit your $200,000 law career and become a daycare provider?

Hmmmmm?

[tennteacher]

Doesn’t MO earn a 6-figure income as an attorney? Shouldn’t she be correcting essays or changing bedpans instead?

[The Forgotten Man]

… It was like Jack and his magic beans

What did she do, throw his books out da window and shazaam, money trees a sprouted up....

[griswold3]

The Obama’s want us to be a ‘nation of beggars’.
God forbid, we would work for ‘profit’!

“We left corporate America, which is a lot of what we’re asking young people to do,” she tells the women. “Don’t go into corporate America. You know, become teachers. 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.

Corporate America will likely return the favor, Mrs. Obama.

their first question for me is, 'How on earth are you managing it, how are you keeping it all together?'"

Hillary cried at this question.

This is unbelievable! There are no free rides! She’s sounding like a glass half empty person...sitting there with her very fat salary and her husband the front runner for President. Sheesh!

[MrB]

She can’t leave her law career -

after all, America doesn’t have enough lawyers as it is!

[milwguy]

she is a piece of work. Typical limousine liberal who ‘feels the pain’ of the common folk while living the high life. Her kids go to private schools, her and Baracks income was 1.6 million in 2005, and 995k in 2006. Hard to pay off student loans that way.

[trisham]

What a phony.

[SengirV]

Was she in a drum circle when she said this?

[windsorknot]

“Iceberg straight ahead, Captain........no, it’s the chip on Michelle Obama’s shoulder.”

[Parmenio]

She makes Teresa Heinz Kerry seem almost normal.

We be victims yall

From the article:

In 2006, the Chicago Tribune reported that Mrs. Obama’s compensation at the University of Chicago Hospital, where she is a vice president for community affairs, jumped from $121,910 in 2004, just before her husband was elected to the Senate, to $316,962 in 2005, just after he took office.

The Man is keeping her down.

Loathe agreed. She is as dangerous as her husband. What a tart.
