Michelle Obama was born working class and became a self made millionaire: shouldn't cons love her?
Michelle LaVaughn Robinson was born on January 17, 1964, in Chicago, Illinois to Fraser Robinson III, a city water plant employee and Democratic precinct captain, and Marian Shields Robinson, a secretary at Spiegel's catalog store. According to the couple’s 2006 income tax return, her salary was $273,618 from the University of Chicago Hospitals, while her husband had a salary of $157,082 from the United States Senate. The total Obama income, however, was $991,296, which included $51,200 she earned as a member of the board of directors of TreeHouse Foods, and investments and royalties from his books.[44] @wolf: you are making fun of cons right? @john milton: income taxes mean annual earnings. If she made that the previous year, BOOM, millionaire.
Public Comments
- Michelle Obama has no accomplishments in her professional life whatsoever. Her job at the University was in exchange for earmarks from her husband in the Senate.
- She too uppity and she will not stay in her place. ☺
- I applaud her for her effort.
- Do you just copy and paste things from her Wikipedia?
- My math is a little rusty but I'm pretty sure that $991,296 is less than a Million.
- It is admirable that she appears to have made something of herself...but it is her push for a nanny state, and government dependency that I disdain.
- When Gaultier-clad Queen Michelle is traipsing around Spain with an entourage of 40-70 people on taxpayer money, I have nothing but disdain for her. And that her husband ran on a mutual sacrifice platform further sickens me of the two of them.
- if that was true then would that make he one of those evil rich people you liberals keep ranting about or is this more liberal hypocrisy
- Her and her husband are frauds! Barack said he was from Indonesia to get a scholarship and Michelle only had that hospital job because Barack was Senator and the hospital wanted special treatment. Michelle was never replaced when she left the hospital.
- It's because she didn't inherit her wealth like they did and she's black. Nothing worse than an educated, wealthy black woman in their eyes. She's a threat to their core beliefs.
- Sorry, I don't consider being part of the Chicago political insiders as being "self-made". Even her hospital position was a sham. 300k per year? Really? That job wasn't paying a salary like that before she had it and isn't now that she left. What could she possibly have been doing that was worth that much to that hospital other than her political connection to her husband? Self-made? She is self-made the way she paid for her own Spain vacation. *
