"Queen" Michelle our Belle

Ms Obama has more than 20 attendants

- Never before in history...

"In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much," she said. "See, that's why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service." Michelle Obama

First Lady requires more than 20 attendants

No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn't perform any official duties. But this hasn't deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession.

One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense when even Hillary, only had three; Jackie Kennedy one; Laura Bush one; and prior to Mamie Eisenhower social help came out of the President's own pocket.

Just think Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her own personal secretary.

How things have changed! If you're one of the tens of millions of Americans facing certain destitution, earning less than subsistence wages stocking the shelves at Wal-Mart or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers, prepare to scream and then come to realize that the benefit package for these servants of Miz Michelle are the same as members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by John Q. Public:

1. $172,200 - Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)

2. $140,000 - Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Policy And Projects For The First Lady)

3. $113,000 - Rogers, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to the President and White House Social Secretary)

4. $102,000 - Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to the President and Director of Communications for the First Lady)

5. $90,000 - Winter, Melissa E. (Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)

6. $90,000 - Medina , David S. (Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)

7. $84,000 - Lelyveld, Catherine M. (Director and Press Secretary to the First Lady)

8. $75,000 - Starkey, Frances M. (Director of Scheduling and Advance for the First Lady)

9. $70,000 - Sanders, Trooper (Deputy Director of Policy and Projects for the First Lady)

10. $65,000 - Burnough, Erinn J. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)

11. $65,000 - Reinstein, Joseph B. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)

12. $62,000 - Goodman, Jennifer R. (Deputy Director of Scheduling and Events Coordinator For The First Lady)

13. $60,000 - Fitts, Alan O. (Deputy Director of Advance and Trip Director for the First Lady)

14. $60,000 - Lewis, Dana M. (Special Assistant and Personal Aide to the First Lady)

15. $52,500 - Mustaphi, Semonti M. (Associate Director and Deputy Press Secretary To The First Lady)

16. $50,000 - Jarvis, Kristen E. (Special Assistant for Scheduling and Traveling Aide To The First Lady)

17. $45,000 - Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (Associate Director of Correspondence For The First Lady)

18. $45,000 - Tubman, Samantha (Deputy Associate Director, Social Office)

19. $40,000 - Boswell, Joseph J. (Executive Assistant to the Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)

20. $36,000 - Armbruster, Sally M. (Staff Assistant to the Social Secretary)

21. $40,000 Bookey, Natalie (Staff Assistant)

22. $40,000 - Jackson, Deilia A. (Deputy Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady)

Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, and "First Hairstylist" Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom travelled aboard Air Force One to Europe.

That's $1,332,762.00. Then add in Ingrid and Johnny, make up.

Never has there been anyone in the White House with such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady's social life.

This 'Change' working for ya?

2010!

I have not heard of this before. Assuming this is true... it only supports the complaint of the Obama's being oblivious to the plight of our country; and their desire to live in a fashion beyond what most (if not all) of our previous presidents have lived.

The first clue would have been their trip to Paris... and the extravagance they afforded themselves at a time when Obama was telling us we were going to end up in a depression.

All I am saying is vote the next time; and don't tolerate anyone you know voting for Obama. I have personally taken my stance and have separated myself from those who support him (personally and in business).

She must be one hell of a special first lady! ;)

[oldbikers]

I received this in an e-mail and checked it out on snopes according to them all of the first ladys had about the same or more but still that is our hard earned tax money.

[mcdaddy]

hmmm Must have come from Rush Limbaugh Seems as Laura Bush had 24 to 26, Lady Bird Johnson had 30, and Jaqueline Kennedy had 40 .. so "Never before in history" is BS.

Any way you have it they are both oblivious. Seems typical of new wave librals, socialist and commies..

As to their wants I am as oblivious... fuukem.....

[Yellow Jacket]

It's called, "Taking care of your 'Hoodies."

Nothing but a frigging ripoff of the taxpayes regardless of who the First Lady is.

[nomad561]

Just another waste of taxpayer monies for the politicians.
