First Lady requires more than twenty attendants

“The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it” --Albert Einstein
“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.
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 Miz Michele are the same as members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by John Q.

So you don’t believe the claim that Laura had only one staff member? Good. One more person here who thinks for him/herself. Good to know.
holy cow! !
aha, I can feel your Meeshell luvvvvvvvvvvvvvv. I keep waiting for ONE time where you don’t run to that big ole gals defense.
She sure has a huge ass!
Man....you have to wonder what zero saw in her....it sure wasn’t her looks. Yikes!
Still.....all those people we pay do manage to get her presentable from time to time...
She stole another pillow from the White House.
Why should we give the facts about Laura? Just compare Michelle to Mamie Eisenhower or Jackie O. (with whom she is nauseatingly compared) and leave it to the American people to decide how they feel about Queen Obama.
The Democrats never give facts, just the Big Lie and repeat is endlessly until the sheeple believe it. "But that's wrong!" Perhaps it is, but look who has 60 votes in the Senate (hint: it isn't us...after 8 years of the bi-partisan and fatally naive "new tone"). Time to stop playing Mr. Nice Guy.
Yes, she left law practice (and even gave up her license?) for a do-nothing $300K-a-year job at the UofChicago medical center. What a sacrifice....
P.S. When someone, especially a public servant, has to tell you how much they've sacrificed, hold on to your wallet!!!

Whoops! Wrong Carrie Underwood.
It should pay that $172,200 that her lackey "Sher" is getting.
20 folks working to make this hag look presentable?
She still looks like a hag with a big ole shelf ass.
Something to keep in mind is that the article is just showing their salaries. Typically, the benefits (healthcare, vacation, etc.) will add up to another 30-40% of their wages. For a business it would constitute a fully burdened salary. Except in this case, the burden is on us....
Even Lincoln only had John Hay and John Nicholay...
Do some of her attendants stand by her chaise lounge with fans when she takes her afternoon beauty nap?
Which one of them is the midget who hides under her skirt, follows her around and kisses her butt constantly?
You'll notice that these are jobs to assist her in doing her "job" as first lady, NOT including the hairdresser and personal trainer. All told, I wonder how many millions it adds up to.
The .oo REALLY makes the numbers LOOK at lot bigger!
