How she and her husband can say these things with a straight face is what amazes me.

[fatnotlazy]

Really tough to give up your golf games and your lavish vacations. Probably causes him a lot of stress.

Not to worry. Come January 2013 he’ll have all the time in the world. He’ll just have to pay for them out of his own pocket.

LOL—best community-organizing gig in the country, and he’s not up to the task.

[Raycpa]

If its too much perhaps he should retire early. I wouldn’t hold it against him.

If it’s any consolation, I couldn’t read it with a straight face. The Onion has some competition coming from the Boston Globe. :-)

When Hillary defamed that office we thought it couldn’t get any worse.

There you have it folks. To them it's all just a game. Hop in the jet ...take a few dozen friends to England for a five star holiday ...make a speech and raise some funds ...get a massage from Chris Matthews or Oprah...

[Lancey Howard]

“You know, I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early, like many black men do, of heart disease. Well, that’s how I feel. He is an absolutely reprehensible person.”*

Poor first lady. It’s gotta be rough taking million dollar vacations.

[Terry Mross]

This guy will never pay for anything the rest of his life. Neither will most politicians.

[Cheetahcat]

That hideous, animal looking Monstrosity would do well by keeping Quiet, about that homo screwup she ,maybe is married to.

[Beowulf9]

Step down!!!

[Indy Pendance]

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. What gov job will he run for after 2013? Will he be anointed to some UN position?

“I see the worry creasing his face. I hear the passion and determination in his voice. ‘You won’t believe what these folks are going through;’ he told me that last night. ‘Michelle, it is not right. We’ve got to fix this. We have to do more,’” she said during a visit to Boston for a fund-raiser on behalf of the Democratic National Committee.

These people have their priorities. He could have done anything during the first year of office when his party controlled both houses of Congress with lopsided 60% margins, including a filibuster-proof Senate. All he did was dig the hole deeper.

[Lando Lincoln]

Regardless of whether or not this is true (which it is not in a historical sense)... I wonder what they thought they were signing up for?

[freekitty]

Me too. What a whopper this one is.

Keep reading the article and see the menu!!

[ColdOne]

How would she know, they are on vacation most the time.

Yeah. Tell your husband this ain't a f***ing game!
