WOW! SHE IS WHAT I CALL "HIGH MAINTENANCE!"
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
from her husband's salary.
Total Personal Staff members for other first ladies paid by taxpayers:
Mamie Eisenhower: One-- paid for personally out of President's salary.
Jackie Kennedy: One
Rosaline
Carter: One
Barbara Bush: One
Hilary Clinton: Three
Laura Bush: One
Michele Obama: Twenty-two
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 MS Michelle are the same as
members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these
assorted lackeys is paid by YOU, John Q. Public:

Total
$1,591,200 in annual salaries – all for someone we did not vote
for, and apparently have no control over.
There has NEVER been anyone in the White House at any time who has created such an
army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady's social
life. One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense.
Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49,
and "First
Hairstylist" Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom traveled aboard Air Force One to
Europe ..
