    @ Lotus Feet

    What does Michelle Obama, the high school she attended, or improving higher education have to do with Eric Holder and Rich?

    Nothing, right?

    So why do you bring her into this? She is Obama's wife and not appointed to his staff or cabinet.

    Or are you striving for utter irrelevancy?
