Hmmm. If anyone still clings to some charitable notion that there is more to Michelle Obama than a celebrity wanna-be opportunist, let her 50th birthday celebration be the proof that does away with any remaining delusions. The birthday bash invitees included such moneyed stars as Gladys Knight, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, Michael Jordan, Stevie Wonder, Samuel L. Jackson, Ashley Judd, and, of course, power couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z (the latter of whom sings a little ditty that says, among many other vile words it’d be indecent to print here. And this is just the stuff we know about ~ The event was so top secret, the NSA had to find out about it by reading Sasha and Malia’s text messages. No cell phones were permitted for the 500 people who attended. The party “was reportedly everything you’d expect from a glamorous White House party: Glitzy and stocked with powerful celebrities and government officials.” They danced until 3 a.m. and drank champagne, wine, beer, and hard liquor. Hey, I definitely do not have a problem with rich people enjoying their lives and doing rich people things. The problem, though, is the hypocrisy, obviously, (Michelle’s extra long vacation at Oprah’s place only cost us taxpayers an estimated $60-$100 million) and the lavish lifestyles the Commander and his Indulger-in-Chief wife and family lead when the nation is suffering. All this, coming from an administration whose most recent political platform focuses on income inequality. What did Laura Bush on her big 60 birthday in the white house? She got a modest four paragraph mention in People magazine: Laura “celebrated her 60th birthday on Saturday at the Bush family’s ranch in Crawford, Tex., where the President gave her a triple-strand amber-colored necklace. “The Bushes spent the weekend at the ranch, and on Saturday hosted friends…for a dinner of enchiladas, tamales, guacamole, rice and beans and birthday cake.”
