"Let them eat cake" says Michelle about the American people who are starving and living on the streets. Where is the outrage????
Where is the outrage indeed… America, the land by the people, for the people, or the people on our way to being socialism and obscurity and under the thumb of elitist Marxists.
Barack Obama enjoys living like a king, so why shouldn't Michelle Obama live like a queen?
The First Lady was photographed last night in Hawaii wearing $635 per pair designer shoes by Maison Martin Margiela.
The shoe style is called "Leather open toe flat pumps." It features a "thin nude leather strap across the top of the toe."
A woman lucky enough to have a job in this economy and working for the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour would have to work 88 hours (without taxes taken out) to make enough to pay for Michelle Obama's shoes. If she can get them on sale, they would only set her back $445 for 62 hours work.
Isn’t this always the way? Dictators and Marxist rulers all over the world talk about spreading the wealth… taking from the rich, giving to the poor… and eventually making everyone poor except for themselves, their families and their friends.
Nobody really cares about the ugly shoes… It is the principle!!

The Obamas are staying at an $8.9 million estate for an estimated $4000 per night. To cover the Obama's ten night stay, the minimum wage worker would have to work two-and-a-half years (before taxes) to come up with the $40,000 Obama is reportedly laying out.
Obama has lectured Americans about how they can not expect to live their lives as indulgently as they have in the past. He has lectured businesses about their travel and pay. Yet Obama and his wife live like kings and queens.
The news media has yet to call him out on his extravagance when there is 10% unemployment with no sign of the employment picture improving this coming year.
The Obama’s show their distain for the American people and the will of the people over and over again and continually show that they think they are superior and entitled. Is this really the American Way?
