Michelle Obama has worked....for 300K !

[taichiliberal]

It's pretty pathetic display of willful ignorance, intellectual dishonesty and sheer insipid stubborness on the part of our neocon/teabagger Obama haters. They just ignore facts that doesn't fit into their belief system:

http://www.usmessageboard.com/5155028-post24.html

What's even sadder is how they perpetuate their lies and distortions with maudlin exchanges. But America is NOT buying it. Like it or not, Mrs. Romney is NOT a barometer for American women's views on the economy, as Mitt suggested...further cementing Romney's image as a phony flip-flopper trying to win favor with the "common" folk. This dodge trying to slam the first lady is pathetic.

 

[taichiliberal]

Liberals whine about Romney making millions investing in companies and helping them grow, but they ignore a lib politician's wife making $300K being a glorified consultant.

Of course, she wasn't paid that much for access to her husband's votes.....

Actually, AMERICANS across the political spectrum are quite aware as to how Romney made his millions....by being a parasite via screwing companies and putting people on unemployment. Example being:

This Is How Mitt Romney Actually Made All His Money - Business Insider

How Mitt Romney made his huge fortune - Boston Globe expose


And PLEASE stop being a willfully dumb little parrot squawking neocon/teabagger mantras. READ and COMPREHEND:


Q: Did Michelle Obama make $317,000 a year while working part-time at the University of Chicago Medical Center?

A: This allegation in a chain e-mail is wrong: Obama’s reported income was $103,633 in 2007, the year she reduced her work schedule to part time.

Well, no.

You will be the one dealing with it (along with all your liberal friends).

That you actually try to spin this as not being a sweet-heart deal is incredible.

But America seems to buy this kind of crap all the time. Look at all the tax dodgers he puts on his staff....and keeps.

Not to mention Van Jones.

316K...all that matters.

All that matters is FactCheck.org PROVED the contentions of the OP to be MISLEADING AT BEST, DEAD WRONG AT WORST.

Learn to READ, genius....the $317k was CUMULATIVE, NOT LUMP-SUM.

But neocon/teabagger parrots can't handle details....they just take a big number or headline, kiss Rove's/Limbaughs/Murdoch's/Moon's/Armey's ass, and run with it.

Run, my non-LISTENING little parrot, RUN!

Buh-bye!

It may have been cumulative, but what does that have to do with this?

She went from earning $121,910 in 2004 as an executive director at the hospital to making $316,962 in 2005 as a vice president, according to tax returns filed by the Obamas for those years.

She got paid $316,962 in one year according to the IRS. Perhaps it was cumulative in January, June and July, but the facts are what they are.

Ahhh, but YOU don't include ALL the FACTS, do you bunky? Instead, like all 3rd rate neocon/teabagger parrots, you just excerpt bits and parts of information and slap on your bogus supposition and conjecture. For those interested in the TRUTH, observe (from FactCheck.org):

Easton said the nearly $317,000 figure is "misleading" anyway because it includes more than just her salary. He said the figure "also includes a performance bonus, a one-time signing bonus (she had other, competing offers at the time), and a one-time mandatory payout from a terminated retirement plan." This is reflected in the fact that her 2006 earnings were less than in 2005.

The truth, the WHOLE truth, and NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH! Deal with it.

 

[Listening]

That fact that Mr. Easton is a hospital spokesperson makes him neutral.

Here are the facts.....

M.O.'s salary was reported as 317K on their taxes for 2005.....she worked full time....fact.

M.O.'s slaray was reportes as 275K on their taxes for 2006.....she worked full time....fact.

M.O.'s salary was reported as 103K on their taxes for 2007....she worked part time.....fact.

That TCLiberal can't seem to deal with that probably puts this thread as much in the comedy section (his electronic red-faced sputtering has been a bit of a pleasant distraction).

Somehow that makes us "haters"....fa......wait a minute.

For someone who claims to deal in facts, TCLiberal seems to live in an alternate universe.

As Easton said here earnings were less in in 2006 than in 2005...she got a signing bonus....she already worked there from what I recall (could be wrong). I've never heard of an internal signing bonus....what gives ?

275 K; is that below the poverty level ?

 

[Listening]

Michelle Obama has worked....for 300K !

And, Ann Romney stayed home for a hell of a lot more.

Good for the First Lady for coming from very humble beginning (raised in a one bedroom apartment by working parents), good for her for earning her education and good for her for using her talents to help kids, vets, vets families.

And, yes, of course I understand that rw's hate her for that. Tough shit.

Yes, we hate here......

We brought this up before you started scouring Romney for his money.

Feinstein's husband makes a bundle off the war effort. She was actually called upon to change some of her senate seating configurations because of that.

She's worth 100 Million.

Barbara B.S. is worth 5 million.

Harry Ried has done qute well in the Senate.

Patty Murry (how stupid is the state of Washington anyway) is worth how much ?

And yet, when the GOP runs millionaires, they are out of touch.

You are biggest group of hypocrites in the world.

BTW: Ann Romney has M.S. and has survived Breast Cancer.....I think women would continue to enjoy seeing your attacks.

 

[Sarah G]

The Obamas think they are royalty.

You think they're uppity don't you.

If they act that way call it what it is

Act what way? Like they deserve to be paid for their work?

 

[Stephanie]

come people, we are all suppose to believe the obama's were poor struggling people and that is why they are better to lead us "little people"..they can fweel our pain

 

[TheGreatGatsby]

come people, we are all suppose to believe the obama's were poor struggling people and that is why they are better to lead us peons..they can fweel our pain

People only need to look at the economic numbers under Obama to realize we're better off with out him.

 

[editec]

The relatives of Insiders of both parties do tend get these kinds of high paying no real work sorts of jobs.

Would Michelle have gotten that job had her husband been a nobody?

No, of course not.

 

[Sarah G]

come people, we are all suppose to believe the obama's were poor struggling people and that is why they are better to lead us "little people"..they can fweel our pain

They both worked their way up. They deserve it as much as the next guy.

You forget that we are dealing with two very smart and hard working people in the WH. I know, I know, it isn't what you value.

You like the pliable ones.

Where was Stepford Ann attacked?

I think you miss what the complaint is. It's not who has wealth, it's how they got wealth and what their attitudes towards working folks are.

Mitt Romney got to be a very rich guy by engaging in the war on the middle class. This is why his whole "My wife works at home" is a crock to a lot of us.

well for sure her working a job making 300 grand a year doesn't qualify her as a AVERAGE American worker, now DOES IT.
I'm having to work under this woman's interference and I can tell you I don't make ANYTHING close to what this woman made..but hey, she be smart and knows what's best.

 

[Sallow]

Your link still doesn't explain what "work" she actually did. Funny how a $300k job had its duties "absorbed" by others when she left.

And how the fuck is a lawyer qualified to be a "vice president for community and external affairs"?

$100k for a "part-time" job....

You libs will make any excuse lol.

READ CAREFULLY AND COMPREHENSIVELY, bunky:
Michelle Obama had been promoted in 2005 to vice president for community and external affairs after three years as the executive director for community affairs. It’s true, as the e-mail (and National Review column) says, that she received a sizable pay raise that year. She went from earning $121,910 in 2004 as an executive director at the hospital to making $316,962 in 2005 as a vice president, according to tax returns filed by the Obamas for those years. But the suggestion made by the email’s author – and not made by the National Review – that she was being paid more than $300,000 for a "20 hour a week job" is not true.

University of Chicago Medical Center spokesman John Easton said Mrs. Obama didn’t reduce her work schedule from full time to part time until 2007 when it became clear that her husband would run for president. "As she reduced her hours, beginning early in 2007, her salary decreased proportionately," Easton told us in an e-mail. "She switched to half time shortly before her husband formally announced his campaign, then to 20% later that year and to 0% in 2008."

In fact, Mrs. Obama’s income in 2006, a year after her promotion, had decreased to $273,618. And for 2007 (the year she actually started working part-time), her income was $103,633, according to the couple’s tax return for that year. She took an "unpaid leave of absence to work on her husband’s presidential campaign" in 2008, but still received $62,709 from the hospital. However, Easton noted that her final reported salary "consists of accumulated but unused vacation time plus the final payout from a supplemental executive retirement plan."

Easton said the nearly $317,000 figure is "misleading" anyway because it includes more than just her salary. He said the figure "also includes a performance bonus, a one-time signing bonus (she had other, competing offers at the time), and a one-time mandatory payout from a terminated retirement plan." This is reflected in the fact that her 2006 earnings were less than in 2005.

Here is the issue, this stuff happens and as I said in my post , conservatives dont bitch about salaries in the private sector, but liberals DO! So again $100k for part time work is excessive, according to liberal doctrine. $300k is enemy territory is it not? So you cant win the arguement, because you dont like people making money like Michelle made. I could give a shit what she makes, I'm not the one that backed Kerry and then complains about Romney's wealth.

It takes a big set of stones to post crap like this..

But I will help you with this one..
