Let’s see Obama’s wife earned $279,000 in an mid level position doing... what? While Sarah Palin earned around $82,779 as Governor.(latest figures I could find,year 2006)

Who’s kidding who here?

I read here that her salary was $325,000. And doing what? Well... managing diversity for one thing. And mediating "community outreach", etc. and so forth. Oh... and also her husband is a US Senator who sends tons of federal tax dollars ("earmarks") to her employer, University of Chicago Hospitals.

What... You didn't read about that in the New York Times or hear about it on the network news?
