It is an honor and distinction to be FLOTUS. If that isn’t enough for the “golden” couple let them go back to CHItown. Talk about ungrateful leeches. And don’t get me started on her vacations.

Yeah, it’s a tough job all right, at least for Moochelle. I just read The Amateur. She spends all day working out, picking out clothes, playing with makeup, and deciding on her next vacation destination, and according to sources, she wants to make the most of it while she can, the disgusting grifter.

Can’t see why anyone would want to pay Moochelle, given the extraordinarily crappy job she’s doing as First Lady. It’s not like there are very many stringent requirements associated with her “job,” but she fails spectacularly in meeting what few there may be.

No, and no. Edward Klein, in his book The Amateur, says that Obama didn’t even want to marry her. She browbeat him into it because she thought he was going places. He also says the press has shamefully portrayed their marriage as wonderful, when it’s really anything but.

If he thinks she is “working” it would be better if the nice lady just stopped doing it. (We did not elect her to anything, anyway.)

Let us see, remembering that you have to look at the situation of the FAMILY, not just each member. As POTUS, Obama earns a $400,000 annual salary, along with a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 nontaxable travel account and $19,000 for entertainment. The Family lives rent-free, has no worries about medical care, security, child care or household staff. Vacations can be taken at Camp David without any personal costs. Finally, the retirement following is a very good inflation adjusted pension with continuing health care and security as well as opportunities for both adults to work for years (given their current young ages).

So, am I concerned with the FLOTUS not given a salary? Not hardly!

That would be a guttersnipe from Chi town who collects kickbacks from all of her overpaid and under worked staff.

I would say Moooooochelle is getting paid via tax payer dollars. I hope she enjoys it will she can as I hope both are sent to jail.

Michelle - Don’t make money, do good.
Barry - Pay my wife.

She takes $500,000 African safaris with the kids.
She wears $2700 sweaters.
She's taken on $15,000 dates to NYC via Air Force One.

These people live in their own reality; Moochelle Obama gets paid and she gets paid handsomely.

I want to see a cumulative total value placed on all the VACATIONS that Moochelle has taken, paid for by our tax dollars.

Dang it, you beat me to it......

Any First Lady duties or responsibilities are voluntary and done for the success of her husband—who stands to make $100M+ after his term is over.

Had we a bachelor/bachelorette prez, he/she wouldn’t go out filling a FL position.

Jeesh!

Fortunately he was able to triple her salary in a make-work job at a Chicago hospital by becoming a US Senator.
