Mail.comWASHINGTON (AP) — Michelle Obama’s annual question-and-answer session with the children of Executive Office employees took a serious turn Thursday when a 10-year-old girl in the front row told the first lady that her dad had been out of work for three years. Then the girl popped up to hand the first lady his resume.
The first lady seemed a little taken aback but then explained to the other children, who might not have heard the girl’s comment, that the matter was “a little private, but she’s doing something for her dad.” Mrs. Obama promised to deal with the matter later.
When the event ended, Mrs. Obama gave the girl, Charlotte Bell, a hug and then reached back to grab the resume off a table as she left the East Room. The first lady played host to the children at the White House on Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.
Charlotte’s family had joked over the weekend about making a job pitch to the first lady, but her parents didn’t know she would give it a try, according to her mother, an executive branch employee who did not want to be identified.
Charlotte’s father, Ben Bell, has been looking for a policy job for more than two years and recently has been trying to get a job with the Obama administration. He worked on the Obama campaign in 2012.

Wow….her dad must be REALLY stupid if he’s been out of work for three years and still thinks that Barry and his administration can help him when they and their corporate thugs are the ones responsible for people like him not having any job in the first place.
WAKE UP, YOU SHEEPLE!!!! 😡
I got nothing else to say to people like that. If they haven’t figured it out by now, they never will.
Yeah NC I was thinking along the same lines. Out of work policy expert who worked on the 2012 Obama campaign…. I wonder what his area of expertise is. kind of ironic, heh.
I have no sympathy for the father…mother…or the daughter in this matter. Sorry anyone that supports an organizer in chief, who has a hand in alot of what’s wrong with this country today, and is no way a friend to any American in this country will get no sympathy from me. I wasn’t going to read the article at first but I was just tempted enough just to see till I got to the bottom and puked up my Totino Pizza Rolls when I saw that her mother is an executive branch employee and poor daddy was a campaign organizer really makes me angry. Yea daddy teach me how to be a good little citizen and take what the government gives me. People deserve everything they got coming to them….I just hope I am the last man standing when all is said and done…once the mushroom clouds dissipate! ROFL….HAHAHAHAHA
PLEASE! If this was real the security guards would’ve been ALL over this! STAGED PUBLIC RELATIONS. Puppet show!
