Steyn Comments on Princess Michelle

Hello, faddah, hello, mama, here I am at Camp Obama

There are, as it turns out, three Americas: one where John Edwards is livin' it up on a gazillion dollars a year; one where you're rubbing along on much less; and one where downtrodden hardworking folks are struggling to make ends meet on half-a-million a year. Byron quoted this heartreaking vignette from Obamaland a week or so back:
“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 summer programs… Do you know what summer camp costs?”
Don Surber responds to Princess Michelle:
Well, actually I don’t. None of my kids went. I spent a week once at Camp Wanakee...
In 2005, Mrs. O’s salary was $316,962 at the University of Chicago Hospital. She’s a lawyer, not a doctor.
Hubby’s pay as a U.S. senator topped $160 K that year.
If you are struggling to make ends meet on a half-million a year — a 1040 that puts you in the top 2% of Americans — then the problem is you, not the country.
Still this woman, who was never proud of America when her husband was elected to the state legislature or even the United States Senate, whines and whines and whines.
America is, she said, “just downright mean.”
"Yes, we can!" says Obama. But not on a mere 500 grand a year

I think people in public office are so far removed from the real world of what it takes to 'SURVIVE'.

I would really like to see them collect cans along a dirt road in order to fill their tank with gas in order to go somewhere.

Sometimes I think people who rub elbows with the rich folk think that some of that money is going to fall off the rich and down to the pour....Obama needs to get another line OTHER THAN,
WHEN I WORKED CHICAGO...HOW ABOUT WHEN I WORKED THE SWEAT SHOPS OF OUR AUTO INDUSTRY....REALLY GET DOWN AND DIRTY OBAMA AND THEN YOU CAN FIND ANOTHER LINE.

People in politics say what the american people want to hear in order to get where they want to be. Frankly, I liked Hucklebee and I am sorry he didnt' make the run this time....but he will the next!

I saw this on Michelle Malkin's blog today and it is too funny not to pass this along.
On the subject of Michelle Obama:
Why is Michelle Obama still using her slave name? She should take on an African or Moslem first name to show her pride as a black woman.
