Well, if “letting go of her career” means the good citizens of Chicago needn’t shell out a thousand dollars a day anymore for her faux “community outreach” position at a hospital funded by the public, then bully for her.
However, part of justifying the existence of fake jobs is making certain nobody notices that absenting oneself makes absolutely no difference in the running of things. So to save face, some other face will most likely replace Michelle Obama’s face on the wall, likely a face with the same attributes: a political connection and a fistful of degrees about feeling oppressed by institutions as they stuff your pockets with cash.
Nice work if you can get it.
