Two Americas

Two Americas

The one the Obamas live in and the one for the rest of us.

First it was millionaire trial lawyer John Edwards whining about two Americas.

Even Democrats rolled their eyes at his $400 haircuts and 25,000-square-foot home (10 times the national average for a new home).

Now it is Princess Michelle’s turn.

Actual quote via Jack Kelly:

“We spend between the two kids, on extracurriculars outside the classroom, we’re spending about $10,000 a year on piano and dance and sports supplements. And summer programs… Do you know what summer camp costs?”

Well, actually I don’t. None of my kids went. I spent a week once at Camp Wanakee.

“The salaries don’t keep up with the cost of paying off the debt, so you’re in your 40s, still paying off your debt at a time when you have to save for your kids,” her highness complained.

Kelly pointed out that in 2005, Mrs. O’s salary was $316,962 at the University of Chicago Hospital. She’s a lawyer, not a doctor.

Hubby’s pay as a U.S. senator topped $160 K that year.

If you are struggling to make ends meet on a half-million a year — a 1040 that puts you in the top 2% of Americans — then the problem is you, not the country.

Still this woman, who was never proud of America when her husband was elected to the state legislature or even the United States Senate, whines and whines and whines.

America is, she said, “just downright mean.”

Someone play “God Bless the USA” for her. She just doesn’t get it.

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.

I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be living here today.
