Interesting. But without context, specifically the staffs of previous first ladies, it’s meaningless.
Laura Bush had almost the exact same size staff.

There has been some discussion of Michelle Obama’s staff payroll compared to Laura Bush’s. Here are the results of my investigation.
Michelle Obama has 16 paid staff which cost the American taxpayers $1,256,700.
Laura Bush had 10 paid staff which cost the American taxpayers $764,900.
A difference of $491,800.
This was in August. Looks like the staff increased by 10 since then. So my guess is we’re probably looking at a $1,000,000 difference in salaries.
Is it easier to pontificate or use a net search?
Here, I’ll do it for ya ....Laura Bush had 10 paid staff which cost the American taxpayers $764,900....for starters.
Although you have to wonder if they’re comparing apples to apples or apples to oranges.
Also at the end of the Bush Presidency, Laura Bush had 26 paid staff, but how many of them may have been brought on to help transition them out of the White House.
The one I’m curious about is Hillary’s staff size. (There’s a bad joke in there somewhere).
Sixteen staffers have "First Lady" in their title, which is the same number as the 2009 White House staff list.
i didn’t see a Deputy Director of Style and Outfit Coordinator? or a Deputy Director of Shoe Selection and Dazzle Control?
“It’s good to be king!”
She needs an Undersecretary to the Deputy Director for Belt Coordination

LOL ...Ask for the position to be created. Certainly you could do better!
What irks me is that most of these positions [not counting bennies] pays more than most people make ...yet we are shouldering the bill.
Reading this, I was thinking, logically, “maybe that’s one thing Carter did right, having only a few staff people for Rosalynn the First Lady. So I googled it, and the first thing that came up (from 1977) was “Rosalynn Carter’s personal staff largest ever”-—21 people, at a taxpayer cost of $650,000. What would that be in today’s money-—closer to 1.4 million?
26 ladies in waiting and not one of them gives the queen any advice on how to dress.

These idiots, and all other potus and their tribe as well, can wipe their own butts!
Nor do they rate that fortified national palace on Penna Ave.
Give potus a monthly allowance, say....equal to a senior NCO/junior officer in our armed forces for rent at some abandoned strip-mall somewhere. Nor should we pay for his protection, transportation, etc., etc.
Man for someone who has been unemployed since July, this hurts to see..
