Tax Tip: Tips are taxable income and must be reported to the IRS.

I didn't say they weren't taxable, I said no claims them on their taxes.
No. She wore her $570 sneakers while making a public appearance at a local food bank to dish out lunch to people in poverty.Quote:

Ummm let me see if you wear tennis shoes to serve at a food bank
And you claim that you do not go to expensive stores
And you tell others that they should sacrifice for the good of the poor
Hypocrite or not 'getting it' comes to mind.
Has Oprah forgotten about Eleanor Roosevelt who worked tirelessly for the U.S. and made policy toward civil rights that has become unprecedented in history?
Not to mention her other numerous achievements as first lady.
Her human rights activism is legendary.
Love Oprah but she dropped the ball on this one.
I think Michelle has fantastic potential ,yet to be realized to gain the title of *best first lady ever*.

Sort of the same way that the President going on a very public golf outing while the country is in the midst of the "worst financial disaster since the great depression" might indicate a lack of empathy with the plight of main street Americans.
Or how the MSM making Obama and Biden eating a hamburger into a major news item at the same time that we have swine flu, financial unrest, nuclear proliferation and political infighting taking place, might indicate that the MSM hass lost perspective on what is newsworthy and what is not. They seem to be tone deaf to what the real news of the day is.
That's what I mean by "tone deaf".

... or how they wasted cost $328835 on the NY fly over. That was the dumbest most insensitive stunt ever.
Yes... another good example of tone deafness. Thanks, NH4U.Quote:

Oh yea visit soup kitchen - wait I do that.
Oh sorry she also paid a visit to a cancer ward and started making an organic garden..
Whoops did I forget that she is "promiting bills" that her husband is trying to pass.
----If clothing is all we can talk about and how "awesome" she is then really she isn't that great.
I'm with Art Eleanor Roosevelt was a great first lady.
Ugh.

Eleanor Roosevelt was truly a great first lady. She tirelessly visited the American people since Franklin basically couldn't due to his infirmity. She was a great ambassador to the American people and then to the entire world. She would go to the American people, whether it was in the bowels of the earth in a coal mine, or visit an orphanage. Eleanor was definitely NOT a clothes horse and cared little for fashion. She had other things to occupy her mind and time. Eleanor had real class.
I can't say that Michelle Obama has any real fashion sense unless you could call her a serious K Mart or Wal Mart shopper. Her outfits are truly laughable and extremely wrong for most public appearances she has made so far. The laughable outfits she wore in Europe were truly a statement of what NOT to wear when meeting the Queen of England or the wife of the President of France.
It would be like saying Princess Diana looked stunning in her K Mart skirt at a dinner attended by foreign diplomats. Diana had real style and class even if she was taking the garbage out. I can't really say that much about Michelle. She looks like she's taking the garbage out regardless of WHAT she has on.
And let's not forget this woman wears wigs all the time. Her real hair is very short. Everyone seems to forget this woman is a phony from the get go - even down to her fake hair.
As far as Oprah is concerned, she just wants to get in on the "free goodies" she can glean from the White House. She'll be happy with any crumbs that fall her way - such as an "exclusive" interview with Michelle - or whatever. Quite frankly, who cares. I don't. And I don't think most real American citizens care either. The fashion crap is just media plugs keeping America from hearing what is really going on in the country.
And let's not forget the 9,000 gallons of fuel Bammy wasted for Earth Day visiting Iowa.
Both of those two "ladies" are extremely wasteful, arrogant, ignorant, and highly self centered. The ladies I refer to are BO and MO. They do not have America's best interest at heart. Sorry.
That tyrade is very un-ladylike of you twinkie but I must say not surprising. Why you so angry. Most little old women I know aren't so bitter.
And you are in the minority if you think Michelle Obama's fashion sense is poor. In fact Europe thought her choice of dress was very good. But who cares anyway!!
Did you get it all out do you fell better now, now go and worship the bush cheney statue you have in the living roomQuote:

Tom,
I don't think you are aware of the impression you give out with these posts.
To whom ?
He gives me the impression of being a guy with a sense of humor. One that you are clearly lacking.Quote:

Just wondering...
Sarah
You mean by appearing on Sesame Street ? I can't question her motives .She by all appearances is a good mother and family woman.
MO is not the first First Lady to appear on Sesame Street. I got to go with Tom on this. She seems like she's being earnest and has all the right motives on this one. I got no issues with that. We are dealing with an obesity crisis in the USA, and she's taking the bull by the horns to try and teach kids a better way. (And I speak as an obesity sufferer myself... though I tend to use the term "fat". I dislike PC terms being applied to ME as much as to others.)
Elliot
No no no... Other than Sesame street and her little organic garden and organic foods in the Whitehouse. I understand the whole healthy thing but well is there anything else?
--- Does she have any "plans" about other things? --- I know she supports her husband's stimulus bill and the whole equal pay "thing".
Sarah
But what a great photo-op!!Quote:

That's very interesting.I never knew that! I love to hear about the hidden women behind the man. Thank-you I will have to investigate her further.I guess that old saying has some credence ,a man is as good as the woman behind him:)Quote:

Michelle Obama, Mom-in-Chief
I am not sure she won't use her position to propel her into a political career of her own ala Evita Clintoon... but that is for future considerations.
For now (the fashion thing aside )she appears to want to concentrate on supporting family friendly polices.
Speaking of mom-in-chief...
LOL, they're nice arms but they certainly aren't the nicest arms I've seen on a woman, so what the heck is this obsession with her arms?Quote:
The Nation's Embracing, and Embraceable, Arms
By Sally Quinn
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, May 10, 2009
"May I change the subject," said a prominent Washington theologian at a recent dinner. The conversation had been high-minded -- religion, philosophy, the nature of evil. "I'd like to talk about Michelle Obama's arms," he said.
He is a big fan of those arms. We then began a discussion about the significance of the first lady's arms. Actually, it turned out to be equally serious. Michelle Obama's arms, we determined, were transformational. Her arms are representative of a new kind of woman: young, strong, vigorous, intelligent, accomplished, sexual, powerful, embracing and, most of all, loving.
Today is Mother's Day. Today we should celebrate Michelle Obama's arms as the arms of a mother.
This is a woman who has the courage to say "I am mom in chief" and make her children and her family -- unapologetically -- her No. 1 priority. She is able to do this because she is so intelligent and accomplished that she doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. She is healthy enough to be able to say, this is who I am, these are my values and my priorities.
She has come under attack for exposing her arms. They are toned and muscular, burnished and beautiful. That has to be threatening to some. For some men, often, a strong woman makes them feel diminished. For some feminists, the idea of an educated woman not taking on a full-time serious job is a frightening throwback...
Let's not forget that MO was ashamed of her country until her husband was a candidate for President.
YouTube - Michelle Obama: "Proud of Her Country" Speech
The press is doing a great job of softening her character, but during the campaign it was easy to hear the anger in her.
Who cares? I mean really... what is WRONG with US as a nation that this kind of thing makes the news? We really should be embarrassed but alas we are too far gone...Quote:
