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.

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?

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

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.

~snip~

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!

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.

Under her husband, there will be plenty of government jobs and handouts to make it easier to fore go corporate jobs (not to even address those corporate jobs disappearing as a result of her husband’s policies).

" ... A former attorney with the white-shoe Chicago firm of Sidley & Austin, Obama explains that she and her husband made the choice to give up lucrative jobs in favor of community service ..."


White-shoe Chicago firm?


Why am I getting the feeling that our next president may be wearing sneakers?

We would have to get TWO corporate jobs to pay for Obama’s spending programs.

[Mrs. Obama’s compensation at the University of Chicago Hospital . . .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. And that does not count the money Mrs. Obama receives from serving on corporate boards. . .]

Do as I say, not as I do.

Atlas Shrugged, Mrs. ORacist...Atlas Shrugged.

John Galt coming soon to the United States if somehow, in gross stupidity, the American public elects your affirmative action asses as America’s first couple.
