Remember when Michelle Obama whined these words?

“The salaries don’t keep up with the cost of paying off [student loan] debt, so you’re in your 40s, still paying off your debt at a time when you have to save for your kids,” she says.

“Barack and I were in that position,” she continues. “The only reason we’re not in that position is that Barack wrote two best-selling books. It was like Jack and his magic beans. But up until a few years ago, we were struggling to figure out how we would save for our kids.”

Well, today Barack Obama released his tax returns from 2000-2006, and it’s obvious that the Obama’s really were struggling:

• $240,505 in 2000
• $272,759 in 2001
• $259,394 in 2002
• $238,327 in 2003
• $207,647 in 2004
• $1,655,106 in 2005
• $983,826 in 2006

Up until “just a few years ago”, the poor Obama’s were only pulling in a quarter of a million dollars per year. That’s just a little more than $20K per month.

How the fuck did they do it? Obama thinks he can handle the Federal budget? The fucker can’t even manage a family of 4 on $20K per month.

How fucking petty and entitled does Michelle Obama sound now?
