During her six years at the University of Chicago Michelle was paid well over $1 million including $62,709 in 2008 while on leave supposedly for “unused vacation time plus the final payout from a supplemental executive retirement plan”. While Michelle Obama, the President's wife, was publicly encouraging kids to “give up lucrative jobs in favor of community service”, she also raked in the cash from a “plethora of community and corporate boards that pumped up her income to $500,000 in 2007” alone. Not bad pay for someone who once insisted she only wanted a “career motivated by passion and not just money”.
Her work was of such critical importance to the university that after she left, her position was eliminated for good. WHY?
It’s Monday 04/16/12 and the proverbial ‘morning after’ for the 11 Secret Service agents sent home over “allegations” of misconduct involving a prostitute in Cartagena, Colombia.
In this story that strutted over the Internet on tall stilts all weekend long, five members of the US military were tossed into the sexual fray for good measure.

This story, along with all the scandals emerging out of GSA just illustrates how out of control government employees are under Obama. It is clear they think absolutely nothing of him as their boss since they do what they want with total impunity. Who would have thought we would see the day when a department head would be allowed to refuse to answer questions in a Congressional hearing (pleading the 5th because his answers may incriminate himself) and would still be allowed to keep his job with its 6 figure salary?
Makes you wonder who is actually running things in the federal government.
When President Obama targets the rich, he is also targeting rich working women. But what about all the women who make or have married into a great deal of money? So this creates a problem for Obama. Which women does he want to be fair with? Since there are women like Madonna and Streisand etc., who have a great deal of money. Should they be required to pay more, or should it just be rich men that need to pay more to Obama?
