Recession, Depression, What, Michelle Worry? Mrs. Obama Demands Small Army of Attendants

“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.

We were wrong.

Michelle Obama, as we reported on July 7, is not served by twenty-two attendants who stand by to cater to her every whim.

She is served by twenty-six attendants, including a hair dresser and make-up artist.

The annual cost to taxpayers for such unprecedented attention is approximately $1,750,000 without taking into account the expense of the lavish benefit packages afforded to every attendant.

Little did American voters realize the call for “change” would

Who was the last President with little or no entourage whatsoever? Truman, I think, comes close. As I understand, in retirement Truman had no Secret Service detail about him (but one was always nearby) and had a retired cop at hand for his immediate protection. His wife stayed in Missouri most of the time he was in DC.

According other news clippings, Jackie Kennedy had one, Hillary three and Laura Bush one. But you didn't expect the wife of the ONE to be simply served by a handful of assistants did you?

Let’s see the count:

Laura Bush number of staff=...1.

Michelle Obama number of staff=26!

Nice to see your $$$ go down the drain on this woman.

I dunno but she’d better hire a couple dozen more of the latter....they’re not getting the job done.

Maybe she thinks she’s Queen Esther. Unfortunately, she’s more like the Esther on Sanford and Son.

from conflicting information on the net, it seems that it depends on how they are counted.

For example, if you count the kitchen staff and cleaning staff, then it can add up pretty quickly.

If you only count the ladies in waiting, then I think that Laura Bush only had a few...... but then again, I think that mich. obamanation is very high maintenance... and also some of hers might be ladies in waiting to her daughters and her mother.

Who knows.... I would bet that she will accumulate as many as she wants no matter what anyone says or thinks. After all in her opinion America “is a mean country”.

There is no amount of gunk she can apply or clothes she can wear to look good. She is the p** of Pennsylvania Ave.

And she loves that purple signature watch...
Princess Diana had a signature watch she wore often for more casual events and some not so casual events..and it was gold. Shhhh don’t tell Queen Atroshia....we are already paying way too much for her assistants who are color blind and shockingly tasteless.

Of this massive staff, not one of them can help her dress or help fix her child’s hair? She looks more like a Dollar Store shopper than a first anything.

Laura had many staff and her bill ran up to 1 million plus. It’s in the article.

Michelle is the worst but seems to represent a larger trend in our country’s political ruling class.

That honorable man drove himself home to MO after his tour at the WhiteHouse and, until 1960 or so, his only pension was $13000 from the Army. Then Congress gave him a $25000 pension. His only asset when he died was the family home, inherited from his wife’s parents, where they lived the entire time they weren’t in DC... He refused to make money off his service as President, unlike some of those who followed him (LBJ, Billy Jeff come IMMEDIATELY to mind, Eisenhower I don’t think did, I KNOW Nixon didn’t but I’m not sure how you’d classify Jimmy Earl... Reagan I think just retired to his ranch, then his final illness set in and he wasn’t capable. The Bushes, too soon to tell for W, but I think Bush I made a little off his one term. Ford’s a question mark to me.)
