For Mom-in-Chief Michelle Obama and Women Everywhere, It’s About Choice

And with there being way more job applicants than jobs, it may be time for women to get resourceful, and find ways to create income outside of the need for employer. Sure, it takes some resourcefulness, and even boldness, but one example of our global economy is that there are over a billion people online, and more people everyday are learning ways to tap into that. Another thing to get in touch with is purpose itself.

Recession, Depression, What, Michelle Worry?

“In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much,” she said. “See, that’s why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service, ” Michelle Obama.

No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn’t perform any official duties. But this hasn’t deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession. Just think Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary.

How things have changed! If you’re one of the tens of millions of Americans facing certain destitution, earning less than subsistence wages stocking the shelves at Wal-Mart or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers, prepare to scream and then come to realize that the benefit package for these servants of Miz Michelle are the same as members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by John Q.

1. $172,2000 – Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)

2. $140,000 – Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Policy And Projects For The First Lady)

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's Niece: Abortion Means Obama Doesn't Fulfill Dream

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. says Barack Obama doesn't fulfill her uncle's dream despite his election last week as president. Dr. Alveda King says Obama's pro-abortion position makes it so the civil rights struggle is not complete because unborn children are killed in abortion.

Alveda King told LifeNews.com on Tuesday that the civil rights struggle for unborn children continues and noted that abortion adversely affects the black community.

"The election of an African American president sends a powerful and historic message that what was previously unthinkable can become reality," King said.

"The battle for equal rights has reached a major milestone, but Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream of full equality remains just a dream as long as unborn children continue to be treated no better than property," she added.

While Obama has talked about reducing abortions and entering into common ground discussions about abortions involving both sides of the debate, King says his rhetoric and record don't match and that Obama will increase abortions as president.

"President-elect Obama has promised actions that will only increase the number of abortions," she said and added that pro-life advocates "must promise to redouble our efforts to resist anti-life proposals, speak up for the babies, and, above all, pray."

"We must pray with persistence and love that, in God's time, what is now deemed unthinkable will become reality - that all our brothers in sisters, from conception to natural death, will be protected in law and welcomed in society," King concluded.

"The elections are over. The pro-life battle begins anew."

Ms. Felchner--

I agree with you completely. If many women had the choice, I believe they would stay home and take care of the children. And it is not because they feel they have to, but because they feel that they WANT to. That being said, this is still a male-dominated world that needs to start thinking differently in how families figure into the corporate world. It is getting better with flex scheduling and on-site daycare. It would be even better if we did not need to depend on employers for affordable health care. The million dollar question is how we can make insurance affordable for everyone, allow people to switch jobs without fear of losing health coverage, and allow those who only hold a job for the benefits to stay home and raise their children as a personal choice. And that is why I voted for Obama. I don't think the Republicans had a good answer to this problem. And if they did, it gets drowned out with their anti-abortion rhetoric. It seems that when ever family planning issues come up, this is the only response they have. Which indicates to me that they think the current insurance system is fine. When the majority of corporations list health insurance costs as the most pressing issue today, that should be a hint to all that affordable insurance and the general health of our country should be our top priority.
