Going Too Far

Just when I thought I had heard it all! The liberals are not satisfied with winning the election. They do not want to settle for making a pop star out of Obama. Now they want to pay his wife, Michelle, to be First Lady. They want to give her a "job description", complete with duties and subsequently, the powers to fulfill them.

They are going much too far! "First Lady" is not an employment position, nor a government post, nor a cabinet position. She is nothing more than the wife of the president-elect, just like all the First Ladies over the last 225 years.

Even more telling - the same people proposing that we pay Mrs. Obama for being the Great One's wife never, ever thought to pay Laura Bush for the same position.

Here's an idea - let us give Mrs. Obama a HUGE salary, paid 100% by the people who came up with this stupid idea.

Before these liberal nut-jobs go any further with this, they should consider the ramifications - all First Ladies - of presidents, governors etc. would be entitled to henceforth be paid taxpayer dollars for being a spouse. And even Sarah Palin's hubby would be getting a salary for being "First dude".

I am certain that the people behind the "pay Michelle" movement would strongly object to also paying the spouses of Republican leaders.

This simply goes to show the mentality (or lack thereof) of the folks behind liberalism in America. They are not for America. They are for themselves, only.
