Just where is she coming from?
From the way she talks, and she's speaking for Barack, too, she doesn't have a clue about the average American who is so gung-ho about hope and change.
Back in Zanesville, Ohio, before the primary, she told a group of women at a daycare center....
“I know we’re spending — I added it up for the first time — we spend between the two kids, on extracurriculars outside the classroom, we’re spending about $10,000 a year on piano and dance and sports supplements and so on and so forth,” Mrs. Obama tells the women. “And summer programs. That’s the other huge cost. Barack is saying, ‘Whyyyyyy are we spending that?’ And I’m saying, ‘Do you know what summer camp costs?’”
"With all those concerns, one might wonder whether the women should be comforting Mrs. Obama, but she assures them that she’s really O.K. “We don’t complain because we’ve got resources because of our education. We’ve got family structure,” she says. “So I tell people don’t cry for me.”
"But there are still problems. As she has many times in the past, Mrs. Obama complains about the lasting burden of student loans dating from her days at Princeton and Harvard Law School. She talks about people who end up taking years and years, until middle age, to pay off their debts. “The salaries don’t keep up with the cost of paying off the debt, so you’re in your 40s, still paying off your debt at a time when you have to save for your kids,” she says.
Oh, don't worry, Michelle....I'm certainly not crying for you.
Between Barack and Michelle, with her high paying job, his senate pay, his book sales, and her pay from serving on Boards, they make over half a million a year.
And she says America is so mean.
I think America has been pretty good to her....
$10,000 a year on piano, dance, sports, and camp?
And she's just adding it up now?
