  • In 2004, just before Michelle Obama’s husband was elected to the Senate, her salary at University of Chicago Hospitals was $121,910.
  • After Barack is elected to the Senate, the next year, Michelle’s salary gets bumped to $316,962 in 2005.
  • The following year, Sen. Obama requests a $1 million dollar earmark for — you guessed it — the University of Chicago Hospital.

I turn 40 this year. And I don’t know a single person in my large group of friends that is still “struggling” to pay off their student loan debts.

In fact, almost all of us have already paid them all off. Even my lawyer, MD, and PhD friends.

I’m more than a little concerned with the Obamas’ money management skills.

The rest was from speaking engagements and the books. I'd like to know what student loans they had. I can't believe two very bright black kids from middle/upper middle class homes didn't get scholarships.

Perhaps she has an Imelda Marcos shoe fetish, as well. /<em>feh!!</em> Just think if they would have had to pay market value for their home and property, they would be living in a hovel.
