Micheele Obama speaking in her hometown of Chicago:
“So, yeah, there’s too much money in politics. There’s special interests that have too much influence. ”
Her cure for this? She asks the attending audience to write donation checks.
“There is something you can do right now today to make a difference, and that is to write a big, fat check. I kid you not,” she said. “I’m going to be honest with you. That’s what we need you to do right now. We need you to write the biggest, fattest check that you can possibly write.”
Tickets for the event started at $500 a person and scaled upward to special donations of $10,000 and $20,000 per couple. But I guess that isn’t enough.
I’d call her a hypocrite but I’d just be insulting hypocrites. Incredible.
