Michelle Obama, Queen of Snark.

What bugs me, as it often does in presidential elections is this:

She told the audience of 600 that her husband is the only candidate focused on equal pay, health care, affordable college, teacher recruitment and other issues of concern to women. She said that’s what the election should be about.

Why doesn’t she get challenged on the fact that the president has authority to address not one of those things?

Health care. Education. The federal government isn’t authorized by the constitution to do a thing about any of those. (Yes, I know that the FDA can arguably be based on interstate commerce, but I’m not looking to get side tracked by what would happen with drugs made and sold within a given state.)

And this “Equal pay” thing is just beyond stupid. If women really got paid 80% of what men do for the same work, no business would ever hire a man.

I guess you can’t pass Econ 101 if you want to be a good Marxist.
