No president has ever understood the welfare system better than Barack Obama. Because somehow, our new President and his missus managed to bring home $201,913 for jobs they didn’t perform.
Lest we be accused of being inaccurate, let’s admit that President Obama did spend about 12 minutes doing the actual work of a United Sates Senator in 2008. He showed up to cast a vote or two when he was campaigning somewhere near Washington, DC. For that Herculean effort, he was paid $139,204.
But Michelle, well, that’s a different story. She took home $62,709 from the University of Chicago Hospitals. To repeat, she didn’t work a lick, but still took home $62,709. That’s not bad work if you can get it.
In fact, after she resigned her position, her job was eliminated. I’m sure Michelle would say it was eliminated because she couldn’t be replaced. But it’s much more likely that the job was eliminated because it wasn’t a real job in the first place.
So on one hand, these two got paid for work they didn’t do. And on the other hand, they see nothing wrong with increasing your taxes for the work you did do.
It all starts to make sense now.
