2008 Tax Records Reveal Sasha Obama Made $136 In Allowance Money

[DrToast]

WASHINGTON—Sasha Obama testified before the Senate Committee on Finance this week after it was revealed that the second-grader had collected more than $136 in undisclosed allowance payments over the past year.

Sasha, who has been under fire from congressional leaders since her 2008 tax records were made public earlier this month, arrived at the Capitol to address accusations that she received dozens of federal dollars for completing the most basic of household chores.

"Ms. Obama, I've examined your records and what I've found sickens me," said ranking committee member Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), addressing the 7-year-old as she shifted nervously in her chair. "How could you, during this time of economic turmoil—during this time of economic despair—accept nearly 50 cents for making your bed?"

Added Grassley, "Have you no shame at all?"

3. She better be glad her father is closing Gizmo!

She's been saved just in the nick of time!

Perhaps there is some quid pro quo in the President's "sudden" move
of closing this facility. I'm sure Sen. Grassley will include that
in his questioning.

4. That angelic face should bring shame down upon the Repigs for their blatant attacks.

They never miss an opportunity to attack. It is obvious that Sasha never tried to bribe them...that's probably why they are being so cruel in their questioning.

Don't let them win, Sasha!

5. Yeah, and I bet it all went into a Swiss piggybank! (nt)

9. You know what's sad?

Given the current state of the media I actually believed for a split second that this was an actual thing.
