I was thinking the same exact way. She grew up better than many in America. I doubt she went without a thing. In fact, I believe she might have been spoiled.

Michelle was born circa 1960.....
Her dad having a hack job was like having it made
Blacks did get crap back then and her dad's job with the city of Chicago was la creme de la creme in the black community. Her dad probably had to help get out the vote and Michelle copied him, working for Richard Daley in some kind of community hack community liaison job.
Then she moved up to her next hack no show job and lot better pay ($330,000) at the University of Chicago.

Like father, like daughter

I wonder how many people get a 300% raise? And what exactly does one do to get a 300% raise? And if one received a 300% raise after one’s spouse was elected to a public office, should not one turn it down due to corruption?

I guess this is “real Chicago.”
