Michelle Obama Wears $2400 Outfit, Asks Rich People To Share Their Wealth

Yes, I realize that picking on Michelle Obama these days is a little like shooting really expensive fish in a barrel. But I like to shoot fish. When I was a kid we dumped the fish in the pond at the local park and watched them grow ridiculously huge on a diet of radioactive kelp or something. Seriously, these fish were huge. HUGE.

Plus, she makes it so damned easy. Yesterday, she spoke at a campaign luncheon, where people paid between $300 and $10,000 to hear her wax poetic about her husband’s stellar track record and convince them Barack Obama truly understands the plight of the working class in America, and despite his Wall Street backers and SuperPAC and administration full of lobbyists and corporate shills, he’s truly a champion of the 99% of people who may or may not pay taxes depending on whether they are also one of the 58% of taxpaying Americans. This was after she met with a room full of big donors who paid upwards of $10K to take their picture with her.

Michelle Obama has done nothing that all other presidents wives haven't done. So she chooses to dress nice for a lunch. Just like with the vacations they have taken. It's nothing that has not been done by every presidential family. So why is it they get singled our for everything they do. And yes Mitt Romney and his wife are a perfect example. If a republican is president don't you think he and his family will take advantage of presidential perks. If not you all are crazier then you already sound.

3:10 pm The "share the wealth" comes from Islam.

Most religions give guidance about how we should treat other people. The Muslim faith teaches that wealth should be purified by sharing with others.
Muslim teaching

Islam teaches that all wealth and riches come from Allah (God) and are intended for the benefit of all humanity. At the centre of Muslim belief about wealth is zakah (purification of wealth by payment of a welfare due) which is one of the Five Pillars.

And be steadfast in prayer and regular in charity: and whatever good ye send forth for your souls before you, ye shall find it with Allah: for Allah sees well all that ye do.

Surah 2:110
