Michelle Obama Complains About Their Debt

In a campaign speech last Friday in Indiana, Michelle Obama gave another one of her speeches that portrays America as a nation where it is impossible to get by. (Hear the audio here).

The only reason we're not in debt is because Barack wrote two bestselling books."

Michelle Obama began making $316,000 per year in 2005 (the year after Barack earmarked $1 million to her hospital, incidentally). Barack Obama makes approx. $165,000 as a U.S. Senator. That's only $481,000 per year. Thank God for Barack's books because the poor Obamas simply would never have been able to get out of debt on that kind of income.
