obozo should pay moochelle out of his own stash ....

Would that count as 1 job created under Obama’s Administration?

WE are down about 5 million jobs.

It’s gonna take more than getting Michelle back on the government
teat to make the labor statistics look good.

I believe this is the first president that's even thought about a wage for the First Lady and you're right. If he feels that strongly he should pay her himself, especially since many First Ladies deserved at least a stipend for their truly good work unlike Michelle.

Well, certainly WE should not have to pay her.
The lady is not employed by us.
Nor did we vote for her, nor did we hire her.
Nor is there any public payroll job for being a Presidential spouse (and Presidents, while usually married, are not required to be).

All any public paycheck for this nice lady (without a job) would be is yet another BHO welfare give-away to someone who is not working (even though she ostensibly has some employable job skills).

Come to think on it, the proposal to pay her for a non-existent job is True To Form for this administration.
And... is itself a very good reason we can all Hope now for some real Change in November.

But if we are gonna be taxed to pay the lady, then I submit that the dog Bo (which he didn’t want, for obvious reasons) should be paid, too, as the dog is far more useful to the taxpayers .. or at least is in a Hazardous Duty position, given BHO’s culinary tastes.

Let’s pay the dog instead!
