First Lady Requires More Than Twenty Attendants

"In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to

give back to this country that has given me so much,"

she said. "See, that's why I left a job at a big

law firm for a career in public service, "... Michelle Obama

No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First

Lady and she doesn't perform any official duties. But

this hasn't deterred her from hiring an unprecedented

number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy

her every request in the midst of the Great Recession.

Just think, 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 : 1 paid for personally out of President's salary

Jackie Kennedy: 1

Roseline Carter: 1

Barbara Bush: 1

Hilary Clinton: 3

Laura Bush: 1

Michele Obama: 22

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:

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.

Yes, I know, The Canadian Free Press

had to publish this perhaps because America no

longer has a free press and the USA media is too scared

that they might be considered racist or suffer at the hands

of Obama. Sorry America !

 SICKENING.........ISN'T IT?

by Dr.Paul L. Williams

This has nothing to do with race but has to do with greed,egotism,

and spending of over $1,500,000 PER YEAR in personal salaries

by the first lady in a time of severe financial problems in the U.S.

This is amazing!!
