At Monday's White House Summit on Working Families, first lady Michelle Obama admitted to a few of her own struggles as a working mother while making the case for flexible workplace policies for families.
"The first thing I tried to do, which was a mistake, was that I tried the part-time thing…I realized I was getting gypped on that front," she told ABC's Robin Roberts at the event, which aimed to bring attention to strengthening the nation's workforce by addressing various workplace difficulties. "What happened was I got a part-time salary but worked full time."

Is Mooch talking about her $380k no-show patronage job
*************
Exactly. When she left that “job” I don’t believe it was ever re-filled, at least not at that obscene salary level. Pure patronage.
If Sarah Palin said “Gypped” you know the media would jump all over her.
“”The first thing I tried to do, which was a mistake, was that I tried the part-time thing…I realized I was getting gypped on that front,” she told ABC’s Robin Roberts at the event, which aimed to bring attention to strengthening the nation’s workforce by addressing various workplace difficulties. “What happened was I got a part-time salary but worked full time.”
The first lady described how although she and President Obama were fortunate enough to have hired childcare help, she still battled separation anxiety from her daughters when going to work. Even so, she found it “devastating” when their babysitter left the family to seek other employment opportunities and higher pay.
“She left because she needed to make more money,” Obama said.”
So...she had hired help, which ironically, left to seek higher pay. Cheap-0.
She found it devastating because her source of babysitter was gone & she’d have to take care of the kids herself!
Gypped? That’s raciiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssstt!
How objective of ABC to send a "journalist" to aid in the Obama propaganda.
does she realize that gypped is a slur on gypsy?
It was said by a leftist, no outrage.
HAHA! But she thought she was being so cool saying that. So hip. So relating to the folks.
Yes. She is racist.

I thought "gyp" was from Egyptian...didn't know the Roma part! The things you learn on Free Republic are outstanding.
Find it hard ABC could be objective. Is this an example of what is meant in the 45 Goals of Communism or Socialism or Liberalism?...
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
