Michele Obama said her mother still lives in the one room walk up she grew up in..I think there is something quite wrong with Michelle's whole picture. She preaches to the "poor" and tells them to go into social work. Somehow, she must have had scholarships to go to Princeton if her parents were as poor as she states. Scholarships are provided by people with means to provide them. And yet, she seems to complain about 'the rich'...

I guess I don't understand that whole mindset.

I can only tell you that if my family INCOME (let alone savings and investments) were anything to nearly $1,000,000 a year BEFORE Taxes, and a mere $500,000++ after taxes, my Mom (if she were still living) wouldn't be still living in a one room walk up. And I would feel very grateful that I was able to do things that I couldn't do before I had access to that type of money.

Grateful. Thankful. Joy.

Maybe those words don't fit into her vocabulary.
