I like what Michelle Obama has said regarding Corporate America. Who else is saying something like this? Practically no one.

Does anyone know what Michelle Obama's first job out of Harvard Law school was?

i would like to point out that this snarky article was published in national review.

A point often missed by lesser minds who don't understand economics is that a nation can have moneyed people like the Robber Barons of the 19th century who made Wall Street their home while the nation, as a whole, can be very poor. In fact, the wealth of a nation cannot be measured by either the number of corporations it has or how much their CEOs earn. Far from it. The wealth of a nation also includes the good parent, the teacher, the Nurse specialist, the auto mechanic, the plumber, etc. It is ironic to note that Adam Smith's book, "The Wealth of Nations" never once defined what the wealth wealth of a nation is! It is fitting that the World War II memorial in Washington is dedicated to all who worked and fought during World War II. This includes those who worked in the factories and those who fought. In this light, Michelle Obama's suggests that we cannot be a wealthy nation or a great nation according to Wall Street's values. Making a great country is a shared effort. Each of us has a part to play from the poet-songwriter to the cowboy mending a fence after a storm.

Is this the new stradegy to take Obama down, pick at everything his wife says on the campaign trail? How much of what she actually said this time is not in the article?

There are people that do not realize how hard it will be to pay off their college loans. Also more people do need to go into public service and pay it forward. Michele can't win, either it's being reported that she's to uppity or she's a supposed flake. She's a strong independent woman and will continue to speak her mind. She didn't get where she is by being afraid of the big bad conservative boogie man.

GROSS! You made me link to the National Review. You should warn someone before you throw a dead possum on their lap.

Think about the context. If any of these women she was speaking to were to go into corporate, they would end up stuck in a go noowhere job. Long gone are the days when you could start at the bottom and work your way up. Especially for women. Isn't the National Review dumbass Cristol's mag anyway--I'll bet he wanted to call it the National Socialist Review only Hitler got there first.

Is she dumber than a box of rocks? Why does she always open her dumb Harvard mouth.

"...corpor­ate law or hedge fund management­..." is not the same as "don't go to college". I fear she might have been too aggressive about her opinion but I wasn't there, it could have been taken out of context. Being someone from a family that made less than the amount for this OH county, I understand the pressure that some young ppl have to get a college degree. Being in grad school now, I can say, higher education is decreasing the amount of "education" actually produced from many big universities and the debt is somewhat unbelievab­le... tuition, fees, books, housing+food ≈ >$20,000/yr for an in-state students. I got a scholarship to a private university where the tuition is now $34k/year and I still had to work part-time so that I could EAT!

If you're family can't afford to make *significant* regular payments, either the student is dependent on in-house college scholarships to survive and/or the student goes into debt anywhere from $40k-$100k by the time they graduate + INTEREST. Even you drop out half-way, you now owe >$20k +interest and you have no degree.

It's stressful.

What a terrible role model for our next generation. I don't want her as my first lady.

What the hell is she talking about? She is still pulling down over 330k and he 200k on TOP of the book deals. If she is trying to relate to the struggling middle class then I guess EVEN SHE is drunk on the Kool-Aid!!! LOL.

I gather that Byron York's point is that success should be rightfully reserved for Republicans?

Or maybe he is inferring that if you had the good sense to be born into a wealthy Republican family, you wouldn't be burdened with those student loans?

Or perhaps he just resents the idea that somebody who has risen in an American business might dare to be less than favorably impressed with today's "corporate culture"?

I agree. if you are smart and honorable, work for the government instead.

Some reason why HuffPost is hotlinking hit articles from the sick -puppy, neocon, hater brigade at the National Review? Just wondering.

I’m tired of the spotlight being on these meaningless issues…if we want to go there, let’s talk about Cindy McCain’s prescription drug abuse, theft, and lack of concern about marrying someone else’s husband.
