Obama Complains That Michelle Doesn’t Get Paid As First Lady! What!?

"Talk about a greedy, insatiable entitlement mentality!
Americans across the country are struggling just to find work and feed their kids thanks to his wrong-headed policies, and he’s whining that his spoiled wife doesn’t get enough money from the taxpayers:

Guess it’s not enough that the taxpayers have foot the bill for her multiple vacations, designer clothes, personal assistants, world class chefs, celebrities performing at the White House, and more…in the middle of the worst recession since the Great Depression," says Rachel, whose views come via her blog, http://www.thoughtsfromaconservativemom.com

Should the First Lady be paid for being the First Lady? Mike Opelka argues in The Blaze.com that Michelle Obama already is being paid, through the perks she gets as a result of her husband's job:
  • She virtually lives without cost (and in a pretty fancy place that she was allowed to redecorate without the budget constraints faced by most Americans).
  • Her “weekend home” — Camp David — is certainly one that most of us would consider to be worth visiting almost every month.
  • Michelle Obama has a liberal vacation allowance, with a private jet that she can and does use day and night.
  • Her private security (Secret Service) keeps the First Lady safe at all times.
  • The First Lady also has a personal staff numbering 24. (Hillary Clinton had 19, Laura Bush 18) 
Mrs. Obama also sports a wardrobe carrying a hefty price tag as was the case at this year's State of the Union Address:                                                        
Marti Lotman reports at Newsmax :  Lecturing Americans about “income equality” and how the rich aren’t paying their “fair share” as your wife applauds in her $2,400 dress…priceless.
Now, the truth is, conservatives don’t care how wealthy people spend their money. It’s their money, and none of our business.
Nobody would care what Michelle was wearing if she, her husband, and their ruling class cohorts weren’t being so hypocritical about demonizing people who earned the right to live the same lifestyle that they enjoy. The difference is, those Americans do it with money they EARNED, not forcibly confiscated from others.

Talk show host Rush Limbaugh also chimed in, "“So she shows up at the class warfare rally last night in the House chamber wearing a $2,400 cocktail dress!”

But, the $2,400 dress modeled by Mrs Obama pales in comparison to this little diddy...a jacket with a $6,800 price tag!  Does she need a paycheck, Mr. President?  NAH!
