Maybe she could bridge the gap in Condi's teeth.

gorgor: Maybe she could bridge the gap in Condi's teeth.

Woah, woah, woah, she's only one woman. She can't start with miracles. One has to work up to that.

So? She's not rich, according to McCain. She's not even CLOSE to rich.

According to John McCain's standards of being rich, that sounds like a minimum-wage job to me.

How does she afford groceries? She must use a lot of coupons. And there's always food stamps.

Isn't that what Obama Christ is for?

sounds like subby is not familiar with what a going rate is for someone with her credentials...

gorgor: Isn't that what Obama Christ is for?

Is this supposed to be witty??

raanne: sounds like subby is not familiar with what a going rate is for someone with her credentials...

Did she do the job? Yes? Then STFU and go serve your fries, subbie. She earned it.

This man^ made $144,573 every day to bridge the gap between the wealthy [Arab Oil Sheikhs] and their poorer customers [Subby].

Why is this relevant? Is she running for office?

gigdaddy: gorgor: Isn't that what Obama Christ is for?

Compared to what?

Flab: Why is this relevant? Is she running for office?

It's not. They're reaching reeeeeeaaaaally far for anything that makes Obama seem "elitist".

Did she really do the job Darkhorse23?

Other than "uplifting the community", "fostering an environment of inclusion","empowering our sense of diversity" or whatever other meaningless, feel good politically correct babble you may want to invoke. Did she actually accomplish anything? Can you point to any measurable achievments in exchange for the $317,000?

5 pages?

Yeah, I'll bookmark this and uh, get back to it. I promise.

"Vice President for Community and External Affairs" probably is a little bit more than just "bridge(ing) the gap between the wealthy [Chicago hospital] and its poorer neighbors"

raanne: "Vice President for Community and External Affairs" probably is a little bit more than just "bridge(ing) the gap between the wealthy [Chicago hospital] and its poorer neighbors"

And that salary is not out of line for the position at other top universities.

Ted + bridge =

Economic success is only bad if the libruls do it.

What does subby think that someone with Michele Obama's educational background ought to be earning at this point in her career?

You have made great points. And, your well-reasoned argument has made my decision clear.

I will note vote for Michelle Obama for president.

Thanks for your awesome input!

Submitter is being paid $17,000 a year "to bridge the gap between the drive-through window and its customers."

/and you're not worth it, Republitard

robsul82: According to John McCain's standards of being rich, that sounds like a minimum-wage job to me.

Minimum wage is picking lettuce for $50/hour, which is a bit over 100k/year. This job qualifies as poor, but not quite minimum wage

That's it. She should definitely NOT run for president.

That has to be chump change for the smartest person the future POTUS knows.



/I See What You Did There!

Doesn't Cindy McCain get paid a degrees of magnitude higher than that for doing nothing?

She only got the job because she wouldn't pick lettuce.

*a few degrees of magnitude

Doesn't this mean she's taking a paycut?

I live in Hyde Park, and my wife works for U of C.

God, we're such elitists...

I stand corrected. I'll stick only to former POWs on strictly what they say from now on.

They already built a bridge from the wealthy to the poor in Chicago. It's called the Red Line on the L. It has a nice long causeway with a tunnel.

She's deliciously black n' biatchy!

TheYeti: And that salary is not out of line for the position at other top universities.

The question is does her Harvard law degree, experience in the city government and in private law, plus 10 years with the Hospital management qualify her for that kind of work? It's not like she's been on the board of a beer distributor or is an heiress or anything.

moothemagiccow: Doesn't Cindy McCain get paid a degrees of magnitude higher than that for doing nothing?

Zing!

Why do Republicans hate financial success?

Link (McCain is a gigolo)

guys guess what i just found out! michelle obama worked hard and as a result got a good paying job! ITS OVER NOW BIATCH

Obama said that people who earned $97K a year are not part of the middle class... does that make that racist fist pumping wilderbeast he is married to rich?

Subby's Mom once got $20 to 'bridge the gap between my cack and her month.'

It's fun to watch McCain and Obama supporters trying to condemn each others candidates for being elitist/rich.

Good times.

I know two guys who got mugged there, and indirectly knew of a student who was killed just off campus. I am much more careful when I go there than when I am at NWU or Loyola.

gorgor: Maybe she could bridge the gap in Condi's teeth.

Hey, hey! You have to respect Condoleezza Rice for the incredible strides she's made as a black woman working in a white man's game. Successful lawyer Michelle Obama, on the other hand, is just Barack's baby mama.

/Wait, what?

Enough of this, let's just compare net worth:

John McCain:
Avg. Net Worth in 2006
$36,431,099 (Range: $27,817,187 to $45,045,011)

Barack Obama
Avg. Net Worth in 2006
$799,006 (Range: $456,012 to $1,142,000)

Numbers are from here (new window).

BTW, John McCain's numbers are :

Avg. Net Worth in 1995
$8,879,759 (Range: $6,782,200 to $10,977,318)

Avg. Net Worth in 2006
$36,431,099 (Range: $27,817,187 to $45,045,011)

Went up $28 Million in ten years of selfless public service.

Why do you care? She's not running for president. And if you think it's an outrageous sum, consider the holy free market that conservatives lovingly stroke every night before they go to bed. Somebody thinks her job is worth that much, she's got the credentials to do that job well, she's apparently doing that job in a satisfactory manner. Should she apologize for making $317,000 doing a job just because some people feel she shouldn't be making that much?

Xerxes99: racist fist pumping wilderbeast

You left out "uppity".

Democrats are not allowed to have good-paying jobs. They should stick to picking lettuce for $50 an hour.

HansensDisease: This man^ made $144,573 every day to bridge the gap between the wealthy [Arab Oil Sheikhs] and their poorer customers [Subby].

Um, ExxonMobil is getting out of the retail gas business, and they don't produce any oil in arab countries anyways, they just buy it like everyone else.

/Blame your scary dude in the black cloak

Bacontastesgood: I know two guys who got mugged there, and indirectly knew of a student who was killed just off campus. I am much more careful when I go there than when I am at NWU or Loyola.

It's an interesting neighborhood. I love it, but I still don't feel real comfortable walking my dog at night...

I believe that student you're referring to was walking somewhere south of 60th street at 2 am, which is not an area I'd walk around in at 2 am...

I wish Obama would hurry up and name his running mate, so we could stop talking about ridiculous shiat like this.

/Loves me some Michelle Obama!

rcantley: I live in Hyde Park, and my wife works for U of C.

God, we're such elitists...

My mother works for Northwestern and my ex-wife works for Emory. Perhaps we should go out for some lattes sometime and then go pick up chicks at the Whole Foods. Then I'll use one of my patented elitist pickup lines "Hey baby, wanna hop in my Prius and check out the Truffaut festival?"
