QUESTION:

What difference is there between Hussein's wife's staff and Laura Bush's staff?

[Daffynition]

They wouldn't dare. Heads would roll.

[Daffynition]

By gum! It worked.

[Michael.SF.]

....Laura Bush had 10 paid staff which cost the American taxpayers

I count 15.

Michelle is in line with other First Ladies on this one. Sorry folks, move on to better things.

[andy58-in-nh]

What difference is there between Hussein's wife's staff and Laura Bush's staff?

The grace, humility, and gratitude of their employer.

[all the best]

It is an outrage that a first lady have any staff. There is no such constitutional office. Silly to single out Obama.

[Grim]

Four “scheduling” assistants? What on earth do they do? But that’s government for you. Incredibly, even her assistants have assistants. All this for someone with no official duties.

[pallis]

How many staff members does Michelle’s mother require? For that matter, wouldn’t Michelle’s mother be staff? Besides salaries, there are insurance expenses, extra security expenses, and the cost of feeding them. Do any of the staff members require staff? And what about the increased number of servants to clean up after all that staff?

[Burkean]

I’m surprised Grandma isn’t on the payroll as chief nanny.

[raybbr]

Fur free my eye!

[patriot08]

All that help and she still comes out looking like a ghetto ‘ho?

[kallisti]

How many are transgendered?

[Melas]

If you’re going to be stupid, go all out and suggest that the president earn what a private makes. No point in absurdity when it’s done half-assed.

[gunnyg]

what you are shouts so loudly i cannot hear a word you say...

[azishot]

i didn’t see a Deputy Director of Style and Outfit Coordinator? or a Deputy Director of Shoe Selection and Dazzle Control?

And a HAIR STYLIST is also missing!
