The Michelle Obama Middle Class Tax Cut Diet

10-21-2008 Update: The New York Post reports that they were duped and the story about Michelle's order was bogus.

Remember: they're fighting for the middle class, folks. And to do so, the Obamas need to take the extra dough from Joe the Plumber, who I guess surpassed the threshold for the American dream, and spread the wealth around.

And you're wondering why there hasn't been an investigation of the Fannie and Freddie meltdowns that triggered a global economic crisis? Don't worry, peons, the Obamas have bigger lobsters to fry.
