But never fret, because that price includes up to six of your family members in the same picture. So if you get everyone to chip-in equally, it’s just $1,666 per person. What a bargain!

When she travels to Chicago next week to tour Chicago food deserts with Mayor Rahm Emanuel and later host a fundraiser at Plumber’s Hall, she will be asking for a pretty penny.

The going rate for a photograph at the near West Side fundraiser with the First Lady is $10,000 for a family of up to six members.

Tickets alone range from $100 and up for the Oct. 25 event.

And yet the same Occupy protesters angry at money in politics will vote for Barack Obama next year. Because remember, money in politics is fine — just so long as it’s going to support the right candidates. Otherwise it’s totally evil.

In fact, that goes for Obama, too. Remember his decrying the Supreme Court’s decision to allow American companies to donate to candidates? That was supposedly awful because the voices of ordinary people would be drowned out by the cash-infused corporations.

I’m pretty sure the people forking over $10,000 for a picture with the First Lady aren’t poor. Just a hunch. In fact, they’re probably either employees of or invested in many of the same companies Obama and his fellow lefties demonize on a daily basis.

Again, money in politics is just fine — so long as it’s going to help the right people.
