Fact Checking Michelle O & Julian Castro - Re-elect Obama Press "Fact " Checkers Nowhere To Be Found

Since the Left\Dems so big on "fact" checking Republicans and Conservatives, we'll do so here, since the Re-elect Obama Press think Dems only speak pure truth.

In her speech at the Democratic Convention, Michelle wove a story of how poor and struggling she and Barack were.

The following is from Breitbart. Full article here.

Michelle went to Whitney Young, the public magnet school for Chicago’s upper class, while Barack attended Punahou, the private prep school for the top stratum of Hawaiian society.

“[B]elieve it or not, when we were first married, our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage,” Michelle said. ...  their combined income from cushy law firm jobs dwarfed the repayments. Barack also soon enjoyed a second salary from the University of Chicago.

A $277,500 two-bedroom condo they bought in 1993.

A $1.65 million mansion in Hyde Park a few years later.

Lots of multi-million dollar vacations for her and the kids, at taxpayer expense.

The main distinction here. Romney got a job, then started a company, and earned his own money. The Obama's do it with government (your) money. Except from that big house which was financed by Tony Rezko, a very shady character and fraud. 

Her and Julian Castro's speeches here. 

About Castro, while he praised his mother, what the Re-elect Obama Press won't tell you is she was a founder of La Raza Unida (literally “The Race United") in Aztlan—in the Southwest. This is a racist, communist group that wants to overthrow the US government.

 

Castro advocates his mother's racism, is for open borders, is against voter ID (anyone in the US, citizen or not should get to vote), San Antonio, where's he mayor, is a sanctuary city meaning federal law is ignored and illegal immigrants have a free reign to do whatever they want. 

Full article about Castro and his ties to La Raza, his racist and communist ideology here.

Of course the alleged "fact checkers" will give this Marxist a pass. What world is he living in? Four million new jobs created in this administration, when hard number show 23million fewer people working now that when Obama took office? Saved the auto industry by fleecing $billions of tax payer money, borrowing and printing the rest, and now GM is facing bankruptcy again? Leftists have controlled education for decades, where the "3 R's" have been shelved and kids are graduating with no knowledge of math, history, government, music, arts, and yet $trillions have been spent paying the way to personal failure and dependence on government. Using Leftist logic and perception this was a mean spirited hateful speech. Why, look at all those vicious attacks on Mitt Romney. Would that we had a free press.

This was a good speech, but ......Both these speeches talk about personal sacrifice and hard work. Thing is, neither of them believe it, they believe in the Marxist idea of cradle to grave government care. The part about Barack pouring over letters concerned about suffering people. Really, from the guy that has an electronic auto pen sign letters of condolence to the families that have lost someone on the battlefield?

Great summation of both speeches by Charles Krauthammer.

Responses From the Past to Government Food Nannies

Little Dictator Mayor Bloomberg telling people how much soda they can drink, chefs how much salt they can use, a NY city council contemplating passing a law telling people how much popcorn they can eat at the movies...the food police, now led by Gourmand Dictator Michelle Obama are taking away all choices from citizens except the choice to kill babies in the womb.

“The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.”  - G. K. Chesterton

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences.” -C.S. Lewis

Government bureaucrats shut down bake sales; not good for you. I have no doubt the Feds will be going into Churches and bust bake sales once they know such a thing goes on there. Lots of money for charity and projects are received through bake sales. School bake sales are becoming more forbidden.

Then there’s this. Back in February, a four year old girl had her brown bag lunch denied her because it didn’t contain USDA-approved lunch of one serving of meat, one serving of grains, and two servings of fruit or vegetables. This food criminal had a turkey sandwich, banana, potato chips and apple juice. The little girl was forced to eat the school food, her lunch sent back uneaten, and a bill for $1.25 for the school meal. This was done by a state level Department of Health and Human Services food policeman.

Apparently DHHS agents make regular inspection of children’s lunches. It’s not clear if this is a national phenomenon, but if it’s not it will be.  If the lunches don’t meet government “standards” they are supplemented or replaced by the school lunch program, and apparently forced to eat it. Could be a problem if there’s an allergy.

Here’s an idea. Every government employee at all levels be required to see what their BMI numbers are. If they aren’t with the guidelines, they have a directed amount of time to achieve it. If they fail, they get suspended for a specific amount of time until they do. If within that time they still fail, they get fired. Let’s start with that fatass Bloomberg. 

Dining Out in the Future

With her majesty Lady Obama, New York Baron Michael Bloomberg, and Our Dear Leader Barak Obama telling what and how to care for our health, telling chefs in NY how much salt they can use in their recipes, and now what size sodas can be sold and consumed, here's what ordering in a restaurant can be like.

Hat tip to the Windrose Hotel

Thug Thug Everywhere a Thug

Most politicians suspend their campaign organizations until the next election cycle. Obama not only kept his, but it has been active, though it lost some of its punch when ACORN was caught doing all sorts of illegal stuff on behalf of Obama and the Democrat Party. Now Obama’s political machine has swung into overdrive. Organizing for America is organizing Leftists from all over the country to go and disrupt the legal legislative process in Wisconsin.

There are 19 Republican and 14 Dems that need to meet, discuss and vote on proposed legislation that would limit government union workers’ freebees. As far as I can tell so far they don’t have to contribute to their own health care insurance or pension plans. It’s a full ride paid for by the citizens. The same citizens who are getting laid off and loosing their houses. The government/union contract ran out last December, so they’re working without. The state is facing bankruptcy, and about $300 million needs to be found in expenditures to reduce to even begin to balance the budget. Twenty politicians are needed to make a quorum, so all 14 Dems left the state to avoid having to debate and vote on the issue. They had to leave the state because state police would have arrested them, and compelled them to return to work.

The union thugs were out in force today, and there were people arrested and some physical confrontations. Of course we all know, ‘cause the Jurassic Press and other Leftists say so, that they are the peaceful ones and TEA Partiers and Conservatives are the violent and uncivil ones. Teachers didn’t go work. Government employees didn’t go to work. My company if one just doesn’t show up to work, we get written up. Some companies they just fire you. These guys will just get away with it.

One shouldn’t be surprised the ever so “civil” Left had signs with the Wisconsin governor with a Hitler mustache. Of course, only right-wing-nuts do that.

So Obama is sending his political thugs to help out the union thugs to protest. We have a president that files suit against one of the states he sworn to protect and enforce the law, and he refuses to, Arizona. Now he’s sending his thugs in to protest the legal, due process of a state legislature. Really?

This is a despicable act by the Democrats and by President Obama. The citizens voted for the governor and the current members of the legislature. It’s none of Obama’s damned business, and the cowardly Dems had better report to work to debate and vote like they were hired to do.

All businesses are cutting salaries and employees. Why do civil “servants”, union thugs, and Obama’s thugs think they’re exempt?  It comes to this, do the citizens, who pay the freight and are the government, have a say, or do the citizens submit to and give the thugs everything they want without question?       

This Has Got to Make You Smile, Unless You're a Mysoginistic Palin Hater

 WTF indeed!

No Time for Nags

Michelle in her magic garden.

The First Nag, Michelle Obama, is telling us what to eat because we’re all a bunch of lazy fat slobs that are raising fat kids. As a result we are saddled with S510 which controls (signed by Obama Jan.5th) every aspect of the food chain, from the kinds of seeds used, to international food compliance legislation; to what is served in schools…oh it’s a mess. 

Now the First Nag wants businesses to give employees time off to “mentor” kids. Didn’t know this, but there’s actually a Federal agency, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), that “monitors” volunteerism, and pays (!) volunteers. What? We need a multi $million dollar agency to watch over volunteerism?

First Nag:

“And that’s why today, I am thrilled to announce that the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) has teamed up with several major companies to establish a Corporate Mentoring Challenge,” Obama said at a summit held by CNCS and the National Mentoring Partnership MENTOR at the Library of Congress.

“This is a program calling on businesses of all sizes to allow their employees to mentor for short periods during the work day, giving kids positive role models and offering employees a way to give back,” Obama said. “And they’ve already received new commitments from leading companies who have agreed to harness their resources and help us make a difference on a very large scale.”

The CNCS cost 927.1 million in 2005 increasing to $1,149,721,000 in 2010. Obama requested a budget of $1,415,586,000 for 2011. Congress reduced it a bit, but it’s still at about $1.5 billion.

When I volunteer, I don’t get paid. I do it out of love and duty. Why is taxpayer money being spent on this? We know, but that a whole other post.

Don’t know about you, but I’m monster busy and often stressed at work; there’s way too much to do with precision and excruciating correctness within a limited about of time to have a bunch of mindless lost young folks wandering around asking questions. Not to mention, and this isn’t something Ms Obama would know any more than her husband does, that the name of the game at work is productivity. You ain’t workin’, you ain’t makin’ money.

Good grief.

A Review of the Obama Administration So Far (Satire, Parody, Jus' Plain ol' Makin' Fun of the Guy)

And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that the people of the land
called America , having lost their morals, their initiative, and their
will to defend their liberties, chose as their Supreme Leader that
person known as "The One."

He emerged from the vapors with a message that had no meaning; but He
hypnotized the people telling them, "I am sent to save you." My lack
of experience, my questionable ethics, my monstrous ego, and my
association with evil doers are of no consequence. I shall save you
with hope and Change. Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the
land that he who proceeded me is evil, that he has defiled the nation,
and that all he has built must be destroyed. And the people rejoiced,
for even though they knew not what "The One" would do, he had promised
that it was good; and they believed. And "The One" said " We live in
the greatest country in the world. Help me change everything about it!"
And the people said, "Hallelujah! Change is good!"

Then He said, "We are going to tax the rich fat-cats." And the
people said "Sock it to them!" "And redistribute their wealth." And
the people said, "Show us the money!" And then he said, "
redistribution of wealth is good for everybody."

And Joe the plumber asked, " Are you kidding me? You're going to
steal my money and give it to the deadbeats??" And "The One"
ridiculed and taunted him, and Joe's personal records were hacked and publicized.
One lone reporter asked, "Isn't that Marxist policy?" And she was
banished from the kingdom!

Then a citizen asked, "With no foreign relations experience and
having zero military experience or knowledge, how will you deal with
radical terrorists?" And "The One" said, "Simple. I shall sit with
them and talk with them and show them how nice we really are; and they
will forget that they ever wanted to kill us all!" And the people
said, "Hallelujah!! We are safe at last, and we can beat our weapons
into free cars for the people!"

Then "The One" said "I shall give 95% of you lower taxes." And one,
lone voice said, "But 40% of us don't pay ANY taxes." So "The One"
said, "Then I shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay!"
And the people said, "Hallelujah! Show us the money!"
Then "The One" said, "I shall tax your Capital Gains when you sell
your homes!" And the people yawned and the slumping housing market
collapsed. And He said. "I shall mandate employer-funded health care
for every worker and raise the minimum wage. And I shall give every
person unlimited healthcare and medicine and transportation to the
clinics." And the people said, "Give me some of that!"
Then he said, "I shall penalize employers who ship jobs overseas."
And the people said, "Where's my rebate check?"

Then "The One" said, "I shall bankrupt the coal industry and
electricity rates will skyrocket!" And the people said, "Coal is
dirty, coal is evil, no more coal! But we don't care for that part
about higher electric rates." So "The One" said, Not to worry. If
your rebate isn't enough to cover your expenses, we shall bail you out.
Just sign up with the ACORN and your troubles are over!"

Then He said, "Illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted. Let's
grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches,
free medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing..." And
the people said, "Hallelujah!" and they made him king!

And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and
ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers. Others
simply gave up and went out of business and the economy sank like unto
a rock dropped from a cliff.
The banking industry was destroyed. Manufacturing slowed to a
crawl. And more of the people were without a means of support.

Then "The One" said, "I am the "the One"- The Messiah - and I'm here
to save you! We shall just print more money so everyone will have
enough!" But our foreign trading partners said unto Him. "Wait a
minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile of camel dung! You will have
to pay more... And "The One" said, "Wait a minute. That is
unfair!!" And the world said, "Neither are these other idiotic
programs you have embraced. Lo, you have become a Socialist state and
a second-rate power. Now you shall play by our rules!"

And the people cried out, "Alas, alas!! What have we done?" But yea
verily, it was too late. The people set upon The One and spat upon
him and stoned him, and his name was dung. And the once mighty nation
was no more; and the once proud people were without sustenance or
shelter or hope. And the Change "The One" had given them was as like
unto a poison that had destroyed them and like a whirlwind that
consumed all that they had built.



And the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in anguish,
"give us back our nation and our pride and our hope!!" But it was too
late, and their homeland was no more.

You may think this a fairy tale, but it's not.
It's happening RIGHT NOW

Glad We Live in a Post Racial America XV-Thank You Obama

Today the racist NAACP, which used to be a civil rights group, denounced white people by passing a resolution that attacked "bigoted elements" of the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party movement. Of course no examples of the rampant racism of people wanting to pay less money to corrupt incompetent politicians, and restrict their power to tell us how to live our lives. Michelle Obama, while telling us what to eat, yesterday said: "When African American communities are still hit harder than just about anywhere by this economic downturn, and so many families are just barely scraping by, I think the founders would tell us that now is not the time to rest on our laurels. When stubborn inequalities still persist -- in education and health, in income and wealth, I think those founders would urge us to increase our intensity, and to increase our discipline and our focus and keep fighting for a better future for our children and our grandchildren." [italics mine] What the hell planet are these racists, Democrats, NAACP, Black Panthers, living in? Criticize Black Panthers for standing outside a voting place, in paramilitary uniforms threatening white people from voting, and you're a racist! I'm sick of it! Michelle Obama made it quite clear with her comments to the racist NAACP yesterday she's a racist.

The Democrat Party are the racists! All their Left wing support groups are racist. The SEIU, ACLU, Teamsters, all those union thugs are racists!

Time magazine even had a cover story postulating that white babies are born racists. Dogs can be racists!

Support the rule of law the Left says you're a racist. If you criticize Mexicans gushing across the border killing, raping and murdering American citizens, then you are a racist. I say, the hell to all of you racist leftists!

This is the post racial Amerika Obama said we would have after his election. I don't see the rise of the oceans slowing, I do see an incompetent president that didn't know what to do for nearly two months into the Gulf oil spill, except whine and bitch about how everything was everybody else's fault and he's going to sue. Wah wah wah. He still doesn't know what the hell he's doing.

I remember the accusation after Katrina, that Bush sent Black Ops Rangers in to blow up levies to drown Black people. That he didn't send any help for two days to cause death and suffering to Black people. The racist Jurassic Press told stories of white people running around killing Black people. Never happened. How would all you Leftist racists feel if it were said the reason Obama didn't do anything for nearly two months after the oil rig explosion because only a bunch of white redneck Christian crackers were being affected. That story after the passage of ObamaCare of a Black congressman walking through a crowd, and he said he was spit on and called the "N" word. A gazillion cameras, not one shot, and he retracted his statement. Liars. Leftist racist liars.

Even racist, race baiting, shakedown extortionist Jesse Jackson, on LeBron James decision to change basketball teams. After Cav's owner spoke his displeasure about James decision, racist Jackson said, “He speaks as an owner of LeBron and not the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers.” “His feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality. He sees LeBron as a runaway slave." What a bottom sucking low life scumbag.

I am sick unto death of the racist NAACP, I'm sick unto death of TEA Party movement members being called racists, I'm sick undo death of being called a racist for opposing the fascist agenda of Obama, the fascist agenda of the Dems, the fascist agenda of Liberals, of being called a racist because I'm white, being a racist because I believe in individual Liberty over the State telling me how to live my life and stealing my hard earned money. Sick of being called a racist for wanting our border protected. SICK OF IT! Shut the hell up NAACP, Black Panthers, Dems, all you fascist, communist #%@#$%@#! Look at yourselves and that's were you see racism. Not only have you enslaved Black people again, you're trying to enslave the rest of us into submission to your fascist State. I say, HELL NO! See you in November.

News I Came Home To Today

We are already at 9.9% unemployment, and unemployment claims rose to 471,000, up by 25,000 since last week. Of course, "experts" say this was "unexpected". I want to be an expert too. I can be wrong about everything all the time, say "unexpected" and given a pass. Ten percent unemployment, the Dems say that's acceptable, and we'll have to learn to live with it. Really, that's their talking points. When a Republican occupies the White House they scream bloody murder when it approaches 5%. Old people are starving and eating dog food! Homelessness is skyrocketing! (Have you seen any homeless reports this last year?) Babies are dying of malnutrition! Dem in White House? Hey, 10% ain't so bad, learn to live with it.

The stock market plummeted "unexpectedly" by about 250 points. Bad economic news for socialist Europe, jobless rate increase here, and the Dems monkeying around with "comprehensive financial reform" of Wall Street. Boy, Dems monkeying around with anyone's money will make financial markets jittery.

Consumer confidence indicators are down. "Unexpectedly." Company wholesale orders are down, requests for new homes down. Foreclosures are up not just for people given homes by the sub-prime debacle, but with middle class regular folks. Then again, those people are probably sympathetic to the Tea Party Movement, so really, not a big deal.

Meanwhile, last night the Obama's had a big soirée with movie stars and Hollywood celebrities, spending $millions of tax payers money. The justification was to entertain the America insulting Mexican President Calderone. Beyonce performed! O boy! Of course the Jurassic Press was all a'twitter about Michelle's 'new' hairstyle and most amazing blue gown. (How many hair styles can she have?) Then again I remember all the Statists were excited every time Hillary adjusted her golden locks. Remember when Nancy Reagan dressed nicely, how she was excoriated by the Jurassic Press? Her stuff didn't cost near as much as Michelle's.

I'm looking at all these disasters, the American people are facing a really bad situation, and the Obama's have a big ol' bash. Party on dudes!

MSM- We Worship, You Don't Get to Decide

Here are some of the things not getting coverage, or over covered, that reflect the Statist, Obama sycophant Jurassic Press.

Have any heard one mention by Obama of the horrible floods in Tennessee? Has he flown there to assess the damage? Bush flew over in the aftermath of Katrina, and was pounded by the Dems and Jurassic Press for not landing. Where has the coverage been focused? Much of recent coverage has been on a couple birds afflicted with oil from the spill. There has been more coverage of those birds than on the eleven men that died in the oil rig explosion, or on the thirty deaths so far as a result of the flood.

The flood in Tennessee is the worst in about 500 years, and about two thirds of the state and bordering areas  are affected, and Nashville is under water. Has Obama said anything, or gone there? Nope. Can you imagine the press coverage and the condemnation of the Dems if Bush had behaved like this? Can you imagine the press coverage and the condemnation of the Dems if Bush had waited eight days, like Obama did, before taking any action on the oil spill? Plus Obama told a big whopper of a lie saying he had been on it since day one. Bush lied! Ooops. Wrong guy.

During the Bush administration, reports of deaths in Afghanistan were nearly daily. Nearly of third of the total deaths there have happened during the Obama administration. Coverage in the Jurassic Press? Nope. Are you hearing about Afghanistan at all? Could you imagine the pounding that would happen if the opposite were true, that a Republican came to power and that amount of increase in US casualties occurred?

The birds fit the "Green" agenda of the Jurassic Press, but not the cataclysmic floods, dead roughnecks, or US soldiers taking a beating because of the incompetent commander in chief.

Money for Nuthin'

“I think at some point you have made enough money.”


Here's some of Barry's people's income.
Austan Goolsbee, Economic Recovery Advisory Board, 15th wealthiest member of the Obama administration, worth between $1,146,000 to $2,715,000. University of Chicago salary of $465,000 (think things like that contribute to the high cost of higher education?) plus an honoraria (what's that and for what?) of $93,000. I think he's made enough, too much money, and should give a lot of it back. Maybe use it to pay off some mortgages of the people that lost their houses because of the policies he advocated for and implemented. Just think, this is the 15th wealthiest in Obama's inner circle, so there's 14 of his folks worth over $3million. I think each of them should have the government confiscate $2million from each and help pay down the national debt they've run up. I think they've reached the "you have made enough money" level. Aren't they servants of the people? How come the servants are making more, and the heads of household are making less?

Clintonista Leon Panetta is now the CIA Director. He's worth about $4 million. This guy has never run a business, or produced anything. I think he's made too much money for nuthin' and should give back at least $3 million. How many homeless people or abused women could he actually help? What's he need all that money for anyway?

Michelle Obama is now worth $millions, and what has she produced, or done? At the University of Chicago she was “vice president for community and external affairs” and head of the “business diversity program.” She had connections with the Mayor Daly group, so got the job at a salary of $122,000, and when Barry got elected to the Senate, her salary jumped to $317,000. Now her husband has said, “You can just keep on making it if you’re providing a good product or providing good service. We don’t want people to stop, ah, fulfilling the core responsibilities of the financial system to help grow our economy.” Michelle being a political leech for financial gain is providing a service to whom? I think she made too much money for nuthin' and should use the extra money from the salary increase to find some families that can only afford junk food for their children, and buy their 'health food' groceries for them.

How about those stupid Leftist actors and singers that make stupid unwatchable uncreative movies and unlistenable alleged music getting their $millions. I think they should get a salary cap of $100,00 and 10% of their profits, and the rest should go to pay down the national debt they've been endorsing the increase of.

Just think how much free medical everyone in this country could get if the government confiscated George Soros wealth (he endorses fascism for everyone but himself) and puts it in the health care system. He could make both Medicare and Medicaid solvent.

Of course Barry and his buds (and wife) are only interested in using OPM (other people's money).

If You Walk, We'll Tax Your Feet

The break down of Obama's own Obamacare bill is beginning to expose what's in it. He's taken the worse of both the Senate and House bills, added a few $Billion in costs, and increased taxes to everything except the air you breathe. He'll get to that with his energy bills.

Have a mortgage? It'll be taxed. Have rent? It'll be taxed. Paying for Medicare? It'll be taxed. Have a payed off mortgage? It'll be taxed.

From the White House summary:
“Under current law, workers who earn a salary pay a flat tax of 1.45 percent of their wages to support the Medicare Hospital Insurance (HI) trust fund, but those who have substantial unearned income do not, raising issues of fairness.” “The Act will include an additional 0.9 percentage point Hospital Insurance tax for households with incomes exceeding $200,000 for singles and $250,000 for married couples filing jointly. In addition, it would add a 2.9 percent tax for such high-income households to unearned income including interest, dividends, annuities, royalties and rents (excluding income from active participation in S corporations).”

There are lots of vids and audios of Obama saying that no taxes will be increased for anyone earning under $250,000. Bush lied! oooops...wrong guy....

Because the Dems and Obama's economic and anti-business policies, we're facing a shortfall of about $54 Trillion in tax revenue to pay for his new Obamacare with all the other stuff. That's means your personal liability to pay for this is $184,000. That's everyone. Not everyone has a job, and as we know the more government takes money from the people actually doing the work to give to those not doing the work, there will be more and more people not doing the work. Many more will become members of the Drone Force of government employees. So if you have a job, to pay for your own health care and the drones healthcare, and all the other stuff, your personal liability will be $435,000. You got an extra half million bucks layin' around? Got kids? They'll be owing more than that by the time they enter the workforce, unless they become a drone.

By the way, your 401K or any other pension plan you have becomes taxable too. Have a savings account? Taxable.

To pay for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and interest on the debt, you'll have to get rid of the Army and the Navy.

Does this scare the **** out of you?

More analysis and detail here.

Obama's Wife is Spending Spending Spending Your Money on Herself

As Obama spends us into an infinity of debt, his wife is certainly doing her best to contribute. While they continue to request others to "sacrifice", here's what she's spending.

She has 22 people on her staff. Previous First Ladies usually had a staff under 10 people.

Chief of Staff costing $172,000 a year
Deputy Chief of Staff - $90,000
Director of Policy and Projects - $140,000
Director of Communications at - $102,000
Deputy Director of Scheduling - $62,000
Two Social Secretaries - one at $65,000, one at $64,000
Associate Director of Correspondence at $45,000
Assistant to the Social Secretary at $36,000

That's $6.3-million per year, and if sustained, $25-million during her four years as fashion plate and leader of the food police with her magic garden.

So while Barry lectures us about our spending (don't go to Vegas [again], my hometown that needs visitors to survive), adjust our thermostats; perhaps he needs to lecture his wife. Especially since it's not his' and hers money.
