UPDATE Michelle’s old job has been cut. Wow…surprise? No. Her job which garnered millions and screwed the poor is no longer. Did she complain too much or was it just a job to launder $$ from her then Senator spouse?? Is that too harsh?
From the Chicago Daily Observer:
She hasn’t shown up for work very regularly over the last year or so, so when Michelle Obama’s $300,000 job was cut at the University of Chicago Hospitals, it may have been hard to notice the difference. Crain’s skipped the part about the incoming First Lady, must have been an oversight in their expert analysis of Chicago Business, because we know Crain’s is “Not show business. All business”.
From the Patriot Room:
Being Barney The Purple Dinosaur’s lawyer might do that to you. From the Washington Post.
The group went out of its way to give Michelle work suited to her interests. When an opportunity came in to handle the budding public television career of Barney, the purple dinosaur poised to become a phenomenon among American children, Goldstein says he and others felt it had Michelle’s name written all over it.
[The work was] too monotonous for Michelle, who, White says, complained that the work he gave her was unsatisfactory. He says he gave her the Coors beer ads, which he considered one of the more glamorous assignments they had. Even then, he says, “she at one point went over my head and complained [to human resources] that I wasn’t giving her enough interesting stuff, and the person came down to my office and said, ‘Basically she’s complaining that she’s being treated like she’s a second-year associate,’ and we agreed that she was a second-year associate. I had eight or nine other associates, and I couldn’t start treating one of them a lot better.”
Does this mean that Michelle will bitch and whine in the White House? No wonder she had a hard time being proud of this country.
“I couldn’t give her something that would meet her sense of ambition to change the world.”
Ahhh, now that is the Michelle I have come to know.
Their comments are the nicest things they could say about her on the record. The unvarnished truth was obviously a whole lot worse than that.
White recalls, “quite possibly the most ambitious associate that I’ve ever seen.” She wanted significant responsibility right away and was not afraid to object if she wasn’t getting what she felt she deserved, he says.
Waiting for the Associated Press analysis that will find a way to accuse anyone who calls attention to this anecdote a RAAAAAAACIST!
Ready for prime time as The First Nag.
Mrs. Smarter-than-thou goes there.

How is it that this woman with a huge attitude and sense of entitlement truly believes that it is the responsibility of the company to rise to the level of HER expectations? If they fired her as they well should have there would be allegations of racism and a lawsuit. An astute interviewer should have picked up on that attitude problem before the hiring decision was made and given the position to another equally qualified candidate.

Kevin you would think that, but she probably was an affirmative action hire. Remember, her SAT scores were affirmative action level. She complained about that test as well.

Brent E White, I agree affirmative action has and will continue to cause this country problems. I appreciate your comments.
