Obama's Wal-Mart Relationship

It would be fun to see how the media would react if Obama werw a Republican. After his bashing of Wal-Mart, it was learned that Obama's wife Michelle is a board member for a food company whose largest customer is...Wal-Mart. Further, Michelle makes a decent income from her relationship with the firm whose profitability is dependent, no doubt, on Wal-Mart. And this is how Obama defends his hypocrisy:

"Michelle and I have to live in the world and pay taxes and pay for our kids and save for retirement".

I guess the Obamas think they are an exception in that regard. More at American Thinker.
