President Barack Obama and wife Michelle want their daughters Malia and Sasha to get a taste of what it’s like to work for minimum wage.

How about letting them ride the train “unaccompanied from the southern Mexico border to Texas.”

How about feeding them Moochie’s school lunch menus at home and at school?

How about having them shop for the burkas that they will have to wear if Obama’s muslim sharia law prevails?

“I thought they would get do-nothing jobs at NBC for $600,000”

oh, good one... Now there’s an example of “unstimulating” work for an “unfair” paycheck...

Reminds me of the Saturday Night Live skit with Gilda Radner and Laraine Newman. Newman was playing Amy Carter in school. Radner was in pig tails. Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase were playing her Secret Service agents. Radner starts complaining that the SS agents were giving “Amy” the answers. The SS agents silent Radner.

This was back when Saturday Night Live really was funny.

How about we be a tad more specific about minimum wage jobs they held. In O’s case, he probably confused minimum work jobs with minimum wage jobs. Perhaps he had a few no show minimum wage jobs at the first time??

The “emancipation proclamation” would be a more suiting ambition, yea?
