Equal pay starts at home – at least that is what his Highness King Oblamo thinks. In a speech last week, the guy who claims he knows the Constitution, knows what the people want and, well, just plain knows everything, hasn’t figured out that we didn’t elect his wife. She wasn’t on the ticket.

OK, you got me. There are a lot of things he hasn’t figured out yet, and with any luck, he won’t before the end of his “kill America” campaign.

This woman (yes, I said it, deal with it) started off by saying, when her husband ran for office, it was the first time she was proud of America or proud to be an American.

Was that because they finally pulled off one of the biggest scams on the American public? Was it because they were able to use the legal tools at their disposal to seal Oblamo’s records and make sure no one really knew about his upbringing, school experience, girlfriends (if he had any), boyfriends (if he had any), college scores, attendance, drug or alcohol abuse, and so on? All of the things the Dems want to know about every conservative candidate who has and ever will run? And they get nasty if it’s hidden or covered up. One-sided justice, but I digress.

Her Majesty, Mrs. Oblamo, has stated openly that being in the White House is like being in prison; that one of the reasons they stopped attending church is because they needed down time from their demanding schedules.

Down time away from God? Wow. A “Christian” family who says they need time away from God so they can just be together. Very confusing. I guess they must have missed the scripture that speaks about forsaking fellowship or the gathering together of other believers. Again I digress.

Mrs. Oblamo consistently complains about her role, about her prison, about America, and now she wants to be paid for it? Really? She has more aides than any 20 prior first ladies combined. She wastes more taxpayer dollars on personal vacations and shopping sprees around the world than any 40 first ladies combined.

Mr. Oblamo tried to gain sympathies (and more of the women’s vote) by saying:

“I want to make sure that when she’s working she’s getting paid the same as men. I gotta say that first ladies right now don’t get paid, even though that’s a tough job.”

Hey, professor, she has a voluntary job. One that she knew required a lot of work to represent this country. It’s called public service. When you spoke to Michelle before you ran the first time, didn’t you guys agree that it would be a sacrifice, one worthy of the work for this great country? Didn’t you discuss the significance of you being the first REAL black president (Clinton being seen as the first honorary black president) and the first black family to inhabit the White House –  a house that you live in free of charge, on top of your salary, with full protection for your entire family?

Did you guys agree on the office? Or was it a “What the hey, let’s give it a try and see what happens. We’ll figure out the rest later,” kind of moment? I would bet it was the latter.

Michelle, your job is voluntary. Volunteers get nothing but recognition. You don’t like it, quit. Hang out. Lay around all day. Do nothing. You’d save us a bundle. People would give their first born to have that job – yes, the volunteer one. To have the power you have to influence education, children’s health (in a good way), to go to foreign lands – and not for the shopping, but to influence governments for women’s rights, children’s rights, and bring light to the sex slave industry. Your volunteer job is an honor, not a nuisance.

Your role as first lady is to be an ambassador for America, not a slug for America. Your husband is already getting paid more than he’s worth. Have him give you some of his money.

People, I have never seen two individuals who are so out of touch with the reality of the American people and the safety of the world than Mr. and Mrs. Oblamo. And they back it up with their actions.

I can’t find one real initiative they’ve done in the name of the United States. They’ve done many in the name of His High and Mighty Oblamo, but none in the name of this country. Only constant complaints about and apologies for America while in foreign countries, and Mrs. Oblamo’s constant whining about how tough her job is.

Newsflash: You have NO job. You have an honorary position that you chose to accept. You don’t like it, leave. And don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Do us a favor … stop doing us favors. Stay away from our kids’ nutritional needs. It’s a nightmare, it’s not working, and you’re wasting more of our tax money.

Mr. Oblamo, the proof that you really are out of touch and don’t understand the American people and the disaster about to unfold in front of you is that you think your wife not being paid for a volunteer job is somehow “unequal pay for women.”

Three questions for you, sir:

1) What other “volunteer” gets paid at the White House? (Before you answer, please consult Webster’s for the definition of volunteer.)

2) Can I have a copy of your college transcripts? I’m having trouble believing what you say you majored in.

3) When was the last time your meds were checked?

For my Godly friends, may God bless and help America, and soon. For my Godless friends, may the cosmos align in such a fashion as to make the gravitational pull of the Earth such that it either changes the course of America or pulls the asteroid soon to pass by closer to the Earth and bring a timely end to our suffering.
