[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Somebody check this for me...........................

1. $172,2000 - Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)

2. $140,000 - Frye, Jocelyn C . (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Policy And Projects For The First Lady)

3. $113,000 - Rogers, Desiree G (Special Assistant to the President and White House Social Secretary)

4. $102,000 - Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to the President and Director of Communications for the First Lady)

5. $100,000 - Winter, Melissa E. (Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)

6. $90,000 - Medina , David S. (Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)

7. $84,000 - Lelyveld, Catherine M.. (Director and Press Secretary to the First Lady)

8. $75,000 - Starkey, Frances M. (Director of Scheduling and Advance for the First Lady)

9. $70,000 - Sanders, Trooper (Deputy Director of Policy and Projects for the First Lady)

10. $65,000 - Burnough, Erinn J. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)

22. $35,000 - Jackson, Deilia A. (Deputy Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady)

(This is community organizing at it's finest.)

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, when even Hillary, only had three; Jackie Kennedy one; Laura Bush one; and prior to Mamie Eisenhower social help came from the President's own pocket.

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 .


FRIENDS......THESE SALARIES ADD UP TO SIX MILLION, THREE HUNDRED SIXTY FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS ($6,364,000)FOR THE 4 YEARS OF OFFICE????? AND WE ARE IN A RECESSION????? WELL....MOST OF US ARE. I GUESS IT'S OK TO SPEND WILDLY WHEN IT'S NOT YOUR OWN MONEY?????

That email has been going around for quite a while. I just deleted it because it is so petty I just couldn't see how other first ladies haven't had the same privileges.

For me, it's not about what Michelle has versus what Laura had. For me, it's a microcosm of just how inefficient and wasteful the federal government is. I doubt if any of the governers have a staff as large as this, and this woman isn't even a government employee.

Total agreement here.

I concur with your sentiment brother bear, with the exception that Michelle's spendthrift ways represent a notable uptick over her predecessors in a time of recession. "Let them eat cake."

Could be but I like to look a little deeper into the facts before I make the opinion up. Is this staff really all for her? Does she have any control over what they are paid? Are we comparing what the staffers made today with what the staffers were making at the end of the Bush term or the beginning? Just like to know if I'm appropriately beating her up vs. Mrs. Bush and so forth.

In any case I'll bet there has been a lot of abuse by every first lady in the last 30-40 years. I guess they all have that "let them eat cake" type of mentality.

Troof, I'd like to see a comparison over time of these first ladies staffs. I bet ol' hill dog had a Ball Waxer she kept on speed dial.


BTW. Nice Sig Urpus, but you know your reign has come to an end, check the sig, it's over Brah. Griz are history, a myth, the toilet paper stuck to the bottom of my shoe as I exit the bathroom with my fly down.

[death dealer]

I have no idea about any of this stuff. Is it true or just made up crap? No clue.

What I do know is that a much funnier thread title would have been:

Michelle Obama Has A Huge Posse

I did that specifically so I could use that cool piece of logic FalkinDJ.

THE GRIZ REIGN WILL CONTINUE AS SCHEDULED!!

CHECK THE SIG FUCKER!

Everything was OK until those damned Eisenhowers; effing republicans always looking for a way to pick the taxpayer's pocket.
