Obama Snivels that Michelle "don't get paid".
 
I laughed so hard when I saw this I decided to put it in the Comedy Section.
Reminds me of the senior Officer at a wives' meeting who told all the wives to seat themselves according to rank, then watched the squawking for a half hour; when they finally got sorted out, he said something to the effect of, "That's the stupidest crap I've ever seen, Ladies-not one of you holds rank." :D

By Jingo! what a great idea!

I can't wait to go to work tomorrow and let the boss know that my wife, she wants a paycheck too!


Of course that would be in addition to 'my' paycheck she already claims.

I guess the $500,000.00 get-a-ways don't figure into the calculations poor girl.
Maybe she can qualify for welfare or foodstamps.

In context, I can see his point about women getting paid the same as men. I hope he was just making a joke about his wife not getting paid for her "job", though. Being the wife of a military man is a tough job too! Running the house and taking care of kids for 6 months to a year at a time certainly isn't any vacation.

That would be if he HAD a point about women not getting paid the same as men....seeing as how his own female staffers are paid less than his male staffers....:rolleyes:

As far as his wife...she has taken more of my money than EITHER of my past 2 wives. At least now "for the first time in her life she is finally proud of this Country"

Friggin clown shoes....:mad:

I would think that with the perks she seems to enjoy, courtesy of the taxpayers' money, she would have been considered well-compensated. She sure seems to me to be setting records for first lady spending.

Of course, with all of the campaigning she has been doing, maybe the POTUS' reelection comittee or the DNC should hook a sister up with a paycheck.

Hopefully, scholars of the American presidency will get a four year head start on figuring out where this guy fits on the list of historical rankings. (I'm sure that the Man From Plains has got to icing up a case of well-preserved Billy Beers for the day he movies up a slot.)

I never thought a single person not named could make me miss the 1970s this badly. I know what will make me feel a lot better, though. <<LINK>>.

PRB 08-08-2012 20:29

That glass ceiling broke a long time ago...check CEO pay and you'll find women outperforming men in pay in many cases...this is another bullshit class warfare angle.

Sigaba 08-08-2012 20:38

I can only hope that some members of that audience reflect upon what the president said. At first blush, it sounded like he's calling for equal pay for equal work. But the subtext is clear -- a millionaire complaining that his wife should get paid, at the public's expense--for representing the United States of America.

Given the ongoing state of the economy, the president's comment was profoundly obnoxious.

Me too.:eek: Is it December 23, 2012? We agree!:D

This is all a game to him. obama plans to take all he can, even using his wife's name to simply get more. If there were some pride of country shown, ya could almost say OK. That is not the case with this guy. What we have here is an obnoxious, poser with no thought of anyone beyond himself. I agree with Sigaba, it is profound.
