Oh, she's a "queen" alright

Funny ... Barry is a "queen" too.

It was an email sent to me by a like-minded friend.

(From your source, nit-picker):

..... it’s fair to say that First Lady Michelle Obama has about 22 staffers working for her, directly or indirectly. (Some other accounts put that figure at 24.)

Your handle says it all: ‘skeptical’.

Join the ranks of those who enjoy the status quo and the potential final threat to America.

Huh?

The point of your fact-challenged post was that Michelle Obama has dozens of staffers while previous First Ladies got by with just one. According to Snopes, that's just flat out wrong. The Snopes article doesn't dispute the dozens of staffers Michelle has. It just corrects the assertion that previous First Ladies had fewer. According to Snopes:

"A look at some first ladies and their staff sizes:

"Laura Bush: Between 24 and 26 by end of President George W. Bush's term in 2009, according to Anita McBride, Mrs. Bush's chief of staff.

"Lady Bird Johnson, whose signature issue was beautifying roadways, had a staff of 30, said Stacy A. Cordery, a history professor at Montmouth [sic] College in Illinois who studies first ladies.

"Betty Ford had almost the same number.

"Jacqueline Kennedy, who made renovating the White House her cause, had about 40 people on staff, Cordery said."

So the fact that Michelle has a couple dozen staffers is really a non-issue.
