When first lady Michelle Obama comes home to Chicago next Tuesday, a group photo with her at a campaign fundraiser won’t come cheap.

The asking price for a ticket to a "family photo reception" is $10,000, according to an invitation to the event. The invitation specifies that there may be a maximum of six guests in the photo.

Community activism comes with a price.

I wouldn’t stand next to that piece of crud if it paid me 10k.

Bubba and Hillary used to do the same thing. Every breath they drew was a fundraising opportunity.

Only $1.50 otherwise.....

Look at the positive side, she'd make you look thin standing next to her.

I would rather go back to 1961 and pay 3 million to have my pic taken with Jackie Kennedy.

Oh look, a first taker!

A cardboard version of Ma MO is a whole lot cheaper. And its full of healthy fiber too.

Billionaire Warren Buffett, who has been attending dinner parties on behalf of the campaign, will appear Oct. 27

A lesser person might say “Dem photos gosta be LARGE format HASSLEBLAD STUFF, woman, an’ don’t you wear no “MALCOLM X” T-shirt or Marine One gonna land on you fat ass,” which I would deem inappropriate and disrespectful.

[Java4Jay]

Let me get this straight… While millions of Americans are unemployed she takes millions of tax payer’s $$$ for family trips and then takes $$$ for a picture with her?
