It's easy to do these things on the tax payers dime. Why didn't she do this when she had her own home in Chicago?

This is just a way for them to keep the tree huggers in love with them.

Maybe she should work on getting Barry to quit smoking!
Why are some people so obsessed with what Michelle Obama didn't do in Chicago? Can't we look at what she IS doing in DC? And this nonsense about never lifting a finger in her life? She comes from a working class background in South Chicago.

Well I would hope she leads by example of what she brought to the table. She brought nothing other than her Ivy league education that we paid for.

I never heard of any "jobs" she had before she arrived on our door step. I think the only job I recall was her 600K (bonus and salary) sitting on a board at a non profit hospital. I'm not thinking that is "working class". If you noticed, I didn't mention anyone other than her and she is NOT working class. She is privileged.

There will be a monitor on your toilet and you'll get one flush per day. Anything over that will be taxed.

Watch.

Wow, she started a garden that is equivalent to 20' by 50'.

And in order to maintain it ( probably by White House employees ) it will only end up costing taxpayers $50,000,000.

Mighty fine tomatoes. I'm sure Pelosi will be at the table.

Exactly! wait til the cap and trade tax takes effect and utilities, gas and every product we consume goes up. Then let's see who is cheering for him then!

Well, you weren't paying attention, then. Here is a section from the Wikipedia link I provided. She met Barack at work.

"Career
Following law school, she was an associate at the Chicago office of the law firm Sidley Austin, where she first met her husband. At the firm, she worked on marketing and intellectual property.
"

My allowable two sentences.

Hardly anyone who grows up on the South Side of Chicago is from a "priviledged" background. READ THE LINK YOURSELF!

Mrs. Obama, who said that she never had a vegetable garden before, said the idea for it came from her experiences as a working mother trying to feed her daughters, Malia and Sasha, a good diet. Eating out three times a week, ordering a pizza, having a sandwich for dinner took it’s toll.
Do you have link to substantiate? Or are you just spewing?

Are just a low information type person? Don't follow current events or what? How about your head in the sand like the rest of you nuts? Michelle Obama worked at City Hall in Chicago to bring you up to snuff. Really don't know about your conservatives, don't believe in science or education for that matter all you believe in is hate. Gee, what a nice little party you belong to...

You can't be serious...You honestly have something negative to say about this.

I'm also sure you wear glasses because she group up in Chicago where yes, she had to lift a finger. The family did not have a money tree in the backyard. And now the President's smoking is a CD posting issues.
