Worse off?

I am not sure that I am correct but it appears that candiates, or in this case, their wives will say anything to get elected. In a recent interview Michelle Obama said, “…we’re a divided country, we’re a country that is “just downright mean,” we are “guided by fear,” we’re a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacents. We have become a nation of struggling folks who are barely making it every day…”
Huh? I don’t know about you but I am doing a bit better than I was in 1977. I think Ms. Obama is a living breathing example of hyberbole, if not out right insanity if she believes that, “The life that I’m talking about that most people are living has gotten progressively worse since I was a little girl.”
Let’s take a look at the Obama’s recent cash situation. She received a little pay raise in 2005, not much just around $195,000, and her husband made over a million on his book. All this time I thought I was doing well with my 3.5% raises, and now I find out that well over a million is being, “worse off.”
There are two things you don’t want in a president; no sense of reality, or someone who will say anything to get elected. You make the decision. Oh by the way, can anyone tell me what happened in 2005 that may have driven Ms. Obama’s pay up?
