Thread Name: What does Sarah Palin remind you of?
Subject: RE: What does Sarah Palin remind you of?
"But you still have not come up with documentation for the $100,000 per year grade school."

                      Yes, Ebbie, I seem to have gotten myself into a bad spot here. Originally I mentioned that I saw Michelle Obama talking on television, making the statement that she paid $10,000.00 a month for child care--I took that to be a nannie service. But when I looked for it on the web, I couldn't find any reference. Then it occurred to me that it must have been private school she was talking about, and I found some things on that, so I made the correction. Then, somebody jumped in--it's in this thread someplace--with tuition fees, that if added together for both students, would come into the ballpark of the original quoted amount.
                      At that point, you challenged my resources, so I looked again, and found figures that were somewhat short of the original estimate, but in the same order of magnitude, so I posted that.
                      After all of that, I went into the office this morning and told a lady at work what had happened. Immediately, she said, "No, the $10,000.00 a month was for child care. I saw her say it."
                      At that point we both looked and neither one of us could find the quote. I don't know if we were sharing the same dream, or if it just didn't get picked up by anybody in the media, or...
                      Subsequently, I feel like one of those people who claim to have been abducted by a flying saucer. We both think we saw it and heard it, but we can't find it. So, like O. J. Simpson, I'll keep looking for the real killer.
                      As far as not mentioning McCain, his name never came up in the discussion. It's all right with me if you want to include him and/or Sarah Palin. It was just that they were never a part of the original equation, the way I understood it.
