Obama’s new chief of staff, Susan Sher, is part of the crucial 8:15 a.m. White House staff meeting. The first lady’s team of more than 20 has been told to think “strategically” about how to make her a player on policies she cares about.

Gee what could go wrong? Ever notice that the last two dim presidents are married to women that push them around and weasel their way into a position of power. This makes them pretty dangerous since they were not elected and are cannot be held accountable. And now I bet this sits well in our friendly muslim world. The guy who plays president on tv is cozying up to the muslims while at the same time he’s getting pushed around by his wife. No problems there.

Somehow I don't think booze hound Michelle can wake up at 8:15 am to be part of anything.

It wasn’t until the Carter years that first ladies got taxpayer-financed staffing.

The practice of funding a staff for a president's spouse needs to end now and should have ceased 30 years ago.

Let's not kid ourselves.

Michelle is the boss in that family so her influence is permeated into Barrack’s brain.

He's a committed Marxist, but she is the driving force behind multiplying his hatred for America, Freedom and The Constitution.

She just wants a nameplate at the table to assure her husband that she is The One Who Must Be Obeyed.

They were also the biggest adulterers.
