Putting that nearly 1.5 million into some perspective, it breaks down to nearly $68,000 a year per staff member. It might be interesting to know just what the taxpayer is getting for that money.

Laura Bush paid and average of over $75,000 for each of her staffers. Within the scheme of things this is much to do about nothing; then again, what do you expect from World Nut Daily.

I agree with you. I’d take a different angle altogether: why the hell do First Ladies have these kind of staffs in the first place? I’m not picking on first ladies; this business of having incredibly large staffs is rife throughout government.

I have another point to make: I’ve done a quick study of the list of her staff and it appears to me to be about 50% african american. Looks to me like she is racially biased and not at all sufficiently diverse.
