    It always amazes me how cons condemn someone for wanting to exercise free enterprise yet defend CEO's multi million $$$ bonuses for running a company into the ground. They also condemn workers for wanting to make a living wage.

    They sure are weird little turds.

    Well, I heard a rumor about you but I am not repeateing it. I have to much class to do that. I would not want to cause harm to you. I will find out if it is true & you know what, even though it may be true, it would none of my business to repeat that. It would be your business. I would so dirty telling a story about you. Plus, it would a violation to the rules her so that would be lacking in integrity. We are supposed to ask & answer questions. No, I never did hear that rumor but I would go to google or snopes.com causes they know all the rumors & they check them & so does factcheck.org & they would tell if it was true or not....I would do that & erase this question cause I think it is bad karma cause someone is going to do this to you & that would mean people are work or school or neighborhood will be talking about you without you even knowing what it is about.

    Michelle hasn't asked to be paid. Her supporters are suggesting that she be paid. The reason why is this: When the state department can't make an appearance for "social" diplomacy, the White House often sends the first lady. You'll remember that Laura Bush went to Russia recently and that was diplomatic goodwill, so to speak. She was not paid for that. The First Lady is also often required to attend events around the world with her husband as a representative of the country. Also, the First Lady receives foreign dignitaries and their families from around the world and entertains them along with the President in the White House, which is her home. All of these things take time and planning. The First Lady has a staff and a press secretary who are paid. The supporters are First Lady supporters, and not necessarily Michelle Obama supporters. They would like to see all First Ladies be paid for their time and efforts on behalf of the country.

    I personally agree.

    You've apparently 'heard' incorrectly. Michelle has not asked to be paid. Why merely repeat a rumor. Perhaps you should have researched it first? Nah, you just wanted to spread some misinformation.

    Greed its all about the money.I knew she was a hungry horse the 1st time I saw her.She is so raciest. And she will never be my 1st lady as you have to be a lady 1st and I think the jury is still out on that one.

    So what if she does. She is not getting paid to be president, her husband is! If you went somewhere with your husband or wife and you had better things to do wouldn't you want to be paid. If you say no you are ******!

    It's not a rumor but why would anyone in there right mind pay for something like that.

    cleavetoo (a couple answers down) - Thanks for clearing that up. If the government asks her to work, then she should get paid. The government should not ask for free labor from the first lady. Fair is fair.

    Wow. All the hostile answers over nothing.

    You guys have something else in your life that is bothering you.

    susisays - Troll. You're just another idiot on two accounts, trying to have two voices to make up for the fact that you have nothing to say.

    Yes, I actually did hear something about that, she feels that spouses of politicians should be paid for making appearances. I guess being First Lady wouldn't be enough to satisfy her.

    That was on the 6 o'clock news three nights ago. Of course she wants her clothing money too. Her fashion sense is a little weird.
