#1 The $275,000/year salary from a non-profit oppresses her.

#2 Somehow I don't think Mrs Obama goes shopping at Target (or Kmart or Safeway).

Count your blessings Michelle, count each and every one. There are those who, thru no fault of their own, are a lot worse then you and yours. Count your blessings (and thank God for them) before you loose them.

And if you can't 'make it' on $275K/year (not counting what your husband brings home) then you are screwed (and that would be your fault...).

#3 I'm sure she does go shopping at Target, and probably Kmart, Crazy Fool. Am I right in thinking Safeway is a grocery store chain? Then if that's the one near her house she probably shops there, too. If you have money and you don't shop like that, you'll never have the excess necessary to properly furnish the fancy house and to visit the husband's relatives in Hawaii and Kenya.

Opportunity cost is the key, though. That's why so many executive types have stay-at-home spouses, and why so many dual-income wives wish to acquire a homemaker who'll wait for the plumber and make sure the bills actually get paid.

#4 Michelle Obama sounds like my teenaged daughter: most of her problems are somewhere between her ears.

#5 Mike: Now, far be it from me to tell the Obamas how to live their lives, or what they should value or not value That's OK, Mike, if this pair gets to the White House they will not hesitate to tell you how to live and what to value.
