How does this compare with other first lady’s?

[Psion]

From the article;

“This amounts to a total of $1,083,700.00. Laura was no piker when it came to spending. But she pales in comparison with Miz Michelle requires eight to ten additional attendants at an extra cost to taxpayers of $700,000 and change – - the only change American taxpayers can believe in.”

It’s well worth a read.

There was an earlier article on this that did compare with previous first ladies back to JFK’s. They had 2 to 6 attendants each.

I saw somewhere that Laura had one.

You can't compare the needs of a black 1st lady to the needs of any of the previous first ladies who were all white. That would be extreme racism. sarcasm off

She has 300,000,000 to add yet. They do not.

I saw somewhere that Laura had one.

I withdraw my remarks. I did read that Laura had one, but I was just surfing and read somewhere else that she had quite a few in reality.

So I think I'll just back out quietly since I don't really know what I'm talking about. Maybe someone else has better information.

Most former First ladies had 3 “attendants” or direct reports. One was a schedulng sectetary, another the “executive housekeeper”, and the third the executive chef.

My sister used to be the Executive Housekeeper under Nancy Reagan and later Barbara Bush. She loved both of those First Ladies.
