Those Cheapskates Barack and Michelle

Well, it’s not really Barack and Michelle Obama who are cheap. But this list of White House salaries has me concerned for these poor staffers. You know they are working their butts off and are so stressed out, probably never see their families and in many cases had to relocate to get these positions. These salaries are not commensurate with those sacrifices (or what the staffers could get on the open market). Let’s hope that after they all serve a decent time, they can parlay their experience into more lucrative positions.

Idle Gossip: Is Michelle Obama Pregnant?

No, I don’t think she is. But look at all these high-waisted outfits she’s been wearing recently, especially over the past few days, and the slightly noticeable “bump”:
 

1. Black and white dress in Moscow
2. Peach outfit in Moscow
3. High-waisted floral to board Air Force One
4. Fourth of July super pregnant-looking dress

Now again, I don’t really think she is, as I know Barack and Michelle have stated publicly that they are “done” with childbearing, and they recently adopted a new “baby”, Bo the Wonderpup. And these things happen to women’s bellies as they age (don’t we all know). But wouldn’t it be fun if there were a little baby in the White House?
