bowsniper Report post Posted February 6, 2010 About Michelle :Written by Dr. Paul L. Williams "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 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. 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 personal secretary from her husband's salary. Total Personal Staff members for other first ladies paid by taxpayers:Mamie Eisenhower: One-- paid for personally out of President's salary. Jackie Kennedy: One Roseline Carter: One Barbara Bush: One Hilary Clinton: Three Laura Bush: One Michele Obama: Twenty-two 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 Ms. Michelle are the same as members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by YOU, John Q.Public. Michele Obama's personal staff: One.. $172,200 - Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff) Two.. $140,000 - Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Policy And Projects For The First Lady) Three... $113,000 - Rogers, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to the President and White House Social Secretary for Mrs. Obama) Four.. $102,000 - Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to the President and Director of Communications for the First Lady) Five.. $100,000 - Winter, Melissa (Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady) Six.. $90,000 - Medina , David S. (Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady) Seven.. $84,000 - Lilyveld, Catherine M. (Director and Press Secretary to the First Lady) Eight.. $75,000 - Starkey, Frances M. (Director of Scheduling and Advance for the First Lady) Nine.. $70,000 - Sanders, Trooper (Deputy Director of Policy and Project for the First Lady) Ten.. $65,000 - Burnough, Erinn (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary) Eleven.. $64,000 - Reinstein, Joseph B.(Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary) Twelve.. $62,000 - Goodman, Jennifer R. (Deputy Director of Scheduling and Events Coordinator For The First Lady) Thirteen.. $60,000 Fitz, Alan O.(Deputy Director of Advance and Trip Director for the First Lady) Fourteen... $57,500 - Lewis, Dana M. (Special Assistant and Personal Aide to the First Lady) Fifteen... $52,500 - Mustaphi, Semonti M. (Associate Director and Deputy Press Secretary To The First Lady) Sixteen.. $50,000 - Jarvis, Kristen E. (Special Assistant for Scheduling and Traveling Aide To The First Lady) Seventeen.. $45,000 - Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (Associate Director of Correspondence For The First Lady) Eighteen.. $43,000 - Tubman, Samanth a (Deputy Associate Director, Social Office) Nineteen.. $40,000 - Boswell, Joseph J. (Executive Assistant to the Chief Of Staff to the First Lady) Twenty.... $36,000 - Armbruster, Sally M. (Staff Assistant to the Social Secretary) Twenty-One.. $35,000 - Bookey, Natalie (Staff Assistant) Twenty-Two.. $35,000 - Jackson, Deilia A. (Deputy Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady) Total.. $1,591,200 in annual salaries There has NEVER been anyone in the White House at any time who has created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady's social life. One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense. Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, and "First Hairstylist" Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom traveled aboard Air Force One to Europe .

.270 Report post Posted February 7, 2010 there used to be some pretty die hard obama supporters on this site. what happened to em? i'd like to see somebody try to justify this. one time me and another guy were reading the paper and sittin' around the office just bein' bums for a few minutes and i read where one of the williams tennis players, venus or serena one, can't remember which one, anyway, she took a bath eveyday in perrier mineral water. cost a couple hunnerd bucks a day. the other guy said "now they're just spendin' money". this is exactly what anyone who would spend that much on one meal is doing. just spending money because they can. even tho it's our money. we raised 5 kids. coulda fed em all, real well and real healthy, for a long time for that much. just spendin' money. guess it's a lot like her ol' man's cure for the economy, spend, spend, spend. again, somebody defend this kinda crap.

stanley Report post Posted February 8, 2010 Unfortunately this apparently is not unprecedented: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/firstlady.asp Another good reason to never re-elect anyone I get completely sick of the slanted press on each side of the political isle. Looks like the Canda Free Press could have done a bit of simple research and figure-out that it wasn't so much of an "unprecedented number of staffers....". Definitely hard to wade through all of the BS. As for how much she pays for her lunch snack, I really don't care.... S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GameHauler Report post Posted February 8, 2010 Unfortunately this apparently is not unprecedented: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/firstlady.asp Another good reason to never re-elect anyone Just wondering if you supported Obama and that is why you snoped it. If you did, do you still? Or have you been following Larks advise of punching yourself every morning in the mouth. I am not sure that not being able to serve a second term is a good idea. We may have a great one next time around and would make us proud to have him/Her serve us again. If this one gets re-elected I will have lost all faith in the American people.

I did not support our president during his campaign, I am on the opposite side of the political spectrum. I just get sick of lies in the media regardless on which side of the issue they are lying about. Unfortunately there is a lot of slime on both side of the aisle and it oozes from most of the press as well. I concur Two terms may be fine for any office, it is the career politicians that make things worse. It should be public service, not live on the public. If they never got re-elected maybe they would spend the first half of their terms figuring stuff out then we would have half as many laws and taxes and the US would be twice as nice a place to live.

tommat Report post Posted February 13, 2010 There is NO Way that is a real reciept of her snack. And a quick snope and google of this heavily forwarded email reveals the propaganda this is. It is B.S. like this from both sides that will keep me solidly in the middle. Why the right has to feed off this stuff when there is an ample amount of real fact filled info to push a political view.......I pity the people that swallow this stuff whole and forward it along.
