Well, take a look at this from the White House web site. And we thought only the Clintons were so arrogant. I'd love an explanation of Michelle and Jill's roles in this administration.

Nothing surprises me when it comes to the utter gall of these cretins.

[Dixie Yooper]

I wonder how they plan to pay their wives?

Bailout money!

[ought-six]

I laughed when I saw that! If this doesn't open people's eyes, they are terminally blind. The Obamas and Bidens glaringly list themselves — yes, themselves as couples — as the administration, pretty much declaring that they are akin to a royal family and its court, and that they will be demanding obedience and subservience from the people.

I don’t recall Michelle Obama being elected to any position or hired by the Federal Government.

Hope Rush, Beck, O'R demands an explanation

Since when did wives of the President and Vice-President become part of the administration?

[DennisR]

Noticed the same thing last night. Did not know if this was customary or not. It did not seem like it was, though, because MO and Dr. JB have not been appointed to anything.

[Carley]

LOLOL.......oh I hope Jill Biden does press conferences.

She’s a dim as her hubby.

[Eagle Eye]

Keep this cached cuz I’ll bet they pull it after some well deserved ridicule.

If you look at the whitehouse.gov history at archive.org, you’d see that, at the top and bottom of every page of President Bush’s site, there were links to the First Lady’s page and to Mrs. Cheney’s page. Yes, it’s odd that the pages are listed under “Administration,” but the pages themselves are not much different than Laura Bush and Lynne Cheney’s pages - nothing on the pages themselves indicates any “official” role for either person, so I’d tend to think this is more a question of website design and keeping the First Lady and Dr. Biden’s pages next to the President and Vice President (as they were during the Bush administration as well), that it is about implying some “administration” role for the two wives.

Hitlery tried to set the precedent, but rightfully got smacked down. There will be no smackdown of Michelle (aka Patrick Ewing's twin sister.)

[Fem Vet]

The last administration had a tiny lettered “First Lady” section listed at the very bottom of the page.
(I used it last week to check on the new White House dishes.) Mrs. Bush understood she was not the President. It seems Mrs. Obama does not.

Hubris has been used a lot to describe the current President and his wife. I agree.

[Conscience of a Conservative]

There were also larger links to the First Lady and Mrs. Cheney pages at the top of each page, right next to the President and Vice President pages.

I think this is much ado about nothing. We have bigger fights to pick with Obama than about his website design.

They were not listed as members of the administration.

Sure, go ahead, let it slide, Senator McCain. Or is it Voinovich? Graham?

[Conscience of a Conservative]

I think it's stupid, and I think it should be changed, but I'd rather fight him on his stimulus, Iran, Globull Warming, abortion, etc. In the grand scheme of things, a website listing is not going to bring this country down. Obama's policies might. Choose your battles wisely.

[Conscience of a Conservative]

err, I meant to say "stimulus socialism plan . . ."

oops

You're right. I just hate the hubris of these Marxists who deem themselves "anointed."

Looks like we bought one, got four. Four for the price of one? They're off their rockers, and evidently know not that the wives are not part of the administration.

She's the Official Soup Cooler
