Can someone help me find the list of Michelle Obama's secretarial staff? I remember a post on FR that had all of her staff listed by name and pay and it was stunning. It would be useful to point out in the wake of the WH tour closing.
If I remember correctly, Jackie Kennedy had 2 secretaries and Co-President Rodham Clinton had 6 - MO has more than a dozen, perhaps significantly more....
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)
Hmmmmm...it looks to me that if Michelle could start answering her own emails and figuring out how Travelocity works, the taxpayers could save 1.5 million bucks.
THANK YOU!
Do some research....Google is your friend. It appears you and others here are believing an anonymous email that was sent around a while back. It’s been debunked.
where da wig keeper?
Surely now Bangs has to have a wig keeper
Yes, it’s been debunked. MO’s staff is about the same size, and paid about the same (adjusted for inflation) as previous First Ladies.
There has to be more. I see only one personal aide in that list. What about her shoppers and dressers? It only lists the Associate Director of Correspondence For The First Lady, so where’s the Director of Correspondence? One person can’t handle all of the correspondence so where’s all of those staff members and their secretaries? Is her mailroom staff and errand runners’ salary paid out of Barry’s expenses? If Barry gets a calligrapher, I’m sure Moochelle gets one as well. Looks like this is an incomplete list. Of course, her enteraining expenses come out of the general WH kitchen budget. Her personal SS dudes should be listed in her budget because if there was no FLOTUS then there wouldn’t be any need for them. Then there’s the expense of staff offices - rental, furnishing, supplies and cleaning. And does that annual salary total include perks and benefit packages? Since she doesn’t want to travel with her husband, do her pilot and crew fall under the personal list? And the dog gets his own pilot and crew but that’s another can of kibbles. The list goes on and on.
