Where is that job description in the constitution?
What function does it serve?
And why, for the love of God, do we have to pay for it?
Why the Ef does the “First Lady” even get meetings? Nobody elected her to anything. And every time here incompetent husband holds a meeting America dies a little.
July 31, 2009 By MB Snow 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. - See more at: http://www.politicalnewsnow.com/2009/08/04/michelle-obamas-paid-staff-laura-bushs-paid-staff-sroblog/#sthash.u4EmB10y.dpuf
Those comments "defending " her are what she has staff for. It's called PR. Millions of dollars are spent on this influence peddling and propaganda. Remember what looked like a citizens initiative fro drug legalization? It was bought and paid for by George Soros and the cartels he launders money for. It is mass deception, that amounts to massive gas lighting abuse on a nation.
So is a pencil skirt.
The whole “First Lady” thing is a ridiculous invention. Until fairly recently, the wife of a president was simply - well, a wife. She appeared with her husband at events where it was proper to do so, and generally kept her mouth shut except for making positive remarks about her country or some charitable activity in which she was involved.
This changed with Hillary, who obviously thought people had really meant to elect her and not her husband, but more or less reverted to the old way when GWB was president. Laura Bush made proper, dignified appearances and did not think that she was the center of attention or was qualified or permitted to interject herself into national or international issues.
And then the Obamas struck - and the celebrity-mad Michelle and Barry realized they had hit the big time and are milking it for all its worth. Michelle, like the Kardashians, got to be a celebrity for doing exactly nothing except wanting it and being in the right place at the right time with a celebrity husband anointed by the press.
She acts like a celebrity (shallow, arrogant, “do you know who I am” obnoxiousness) and also has the modern media celebrity’s strange propensity to think that celebrityhood actually qualifies her as an expert on everything from diet to international affairs. And, the true sign of a celebrity: she thinks it’s all about her.
One thing I seriously hope happens the next time around, no matter who gets elected, is that this “First Lady” nonsense disappears, even if it takes an Act of Congress to define the fact that the spouse of a president is not a constitutionally defined office.
She has to have meetings. It’s a lot of work planning and implementing ways to intrude into people’s lives.
must be dificult for the mooch being in a sham marriage with a fag!
I see that "awesome managerial and leadership skills" is also on her resumé.
——to plan her events months in advance -——
The same planning is done for the President. The result is the schedule rules. It doesn’t matter that there is a problem in Bengazi or Crimea..... the schedule is etched in stone and is followed.
I would guess the same is true for golf. Golf is scheduled months in advance as well. Golf is criticized here but the truth is, the President is scheduled to play golf to portray the fact he actually has a life.
The truth is both live life as a lie. Golf is a part of the lie

Is US President Barack Obama’s Marriage on the Rocks?
Formidable: Michelle Obama with her husband
Mail Online reported citing The National Enquirer that the Obamas are sleeping in separate bedrooms, and that the President has been disloyal to his wife. Michelle reportedly discovered that Obama’s secret service bodyguards were helping the President cover up his infidelity.
According to the publication, the problems in their marriage came out in the open during Nelson Mandela’s memorial service, when Obama posed for a “selfie” with Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt. It is also being said that Michelle was displeased with the act, leading to “ugly” fights between the couple.
Tensions between the President and his wife was also said to be one of the reasons why Michelle stayed behind in Hawaii, while Obama and their children - Sasha and Malia - returned to Washington.
But the White House refuted these claims, and said that Michelle’s extended stay was a birthday gift from the President. Michelle turned 50 on Jan. 17.
“If you have kids, you know that telling your spouse they can spend a week away from home is actually a big present,” Obama’s spokesperson told the media at the time.
Interestingly, this is not the first time the Obamas’ marriage has come under scrutiny. Mail Online reported that ever since Obama became the President, two books have claimed that the couple has come close to getting divorced during the early years of their marriage.
These books claimed that Obama’s political ambition took a toll on their personal lives.
“There was little conversation and even less romance. She was angry at his selfishness and careerism; he thought she was cold and ungrateful,” Washington reporter Richard Wolffe wrote, according to Mail Online.
Michelle was also said to be unhappy with life in Washington. The author of a book on former French First Lady, Carla Bruni, stated that when asked about life in Washington, Michelle replied, “Don’t ask! It’s hell. I can’t stand it!”
However, Michelle has denied saying anything to that effect.
This sounds like it was written by a bitter drama queen.
Well put. We are in the midst of the form over substance generation. The Obamas and their rise to power are a symptom not a cause.
A narcissist married to a narcissist
