And right now we are in the worst economy in America's history.

Its yet another example of Obams grand sense of entitlement. We should all make sacrifices, while he jets off to NYC for "date night" on the taxpayers dime. Outrageous!

You are forgetting to add the White House social secretaries and their assistants. The OP attributed those to Michelle Obama.

Yes they squawked about President Bush spending and give a GREEN LIGHT to the current administration just because of party affiliation and up coming elections in 2010 and it is bull!
There are MILLIONS of people out of work!
The current administration and congress are forgetting that and spending like there is no limit!
It is insulting to everyone who voted for them and everyone who has lost a job and their home.

I feel so sorry for conservatives and there deep hatred and jealousy of Michelle Obama.

I guess the First Lady should be home in the kitchen churnin butter, scrubbing the cupboards and tenden to the youngins.

She does and has two very well adjusted kids. But you all are obsessed with her.

There has already been talk here in these forums about Michelle running for President after Obama leaves office.

And I guess all the Palin hater threads are not obsessive.

Your obsession with Michelle Obama's body and looks is extraordinarily creepy.

No, but the First Lady whether it be laura bush or Michelle obama ought to show more restraint on the publics dime.
