First to gala -- there is so much freaking nonsense in your posting I will not bother to address much in it; you Hillary Dead Enders -- the real ones, not the fake, GOP troll ones -- are simply "post rational," as Rachel Maddow says. But, one thing I would like to say -- because FACTS do matter, is that Barack Obama has had MANY jobs that didn't have any thing to do with government work.
One of Barack Obama's earliest jobs was at a Baskin Robbins! I don't think you get much more "White Bread" American than that, do you? He held other typical student jobs and took a job as a researcher on Wall Street before deciding to take another job, working for churches as a Community Organizer. Then Obama went back to school (on loans) and worked as the Editor of Law Review (Non-governmental). Then Obama taught law at a private university and worked at a private law firm.
Obama's only real government jobs were in the IL Senate (not full-time) and in the US Senate -- except for some grants for projects or consulting occasionally.
But, I know I am wasting my typing. Facts mean absolutely nothing to you folks.

McCain, on the other hand, was in the military, worked a bit for Daddy-in-law and then, with Trophy wife's money and contacts, started working for the government more than 20 years ago and never looked back -- not that he needed to work after dumping his 1st wife for an heiress and getting full military disability.

Mr. Neubeck: I don't know why people believe they have the right to just repeat hatred and Blood Libel -- over and over -- about Michelle Obama. I'm sure Freud could help explain it, but I wouldn't want to spend, even a second inside your warped psyche. I'll just say what I say to all the folks like you who are completely Batshit Crazy when it comes to the Obamas, "God Bless you." Because something really horrible must have happened to you to make you the way you are.
