Michelle, Michelle, You shouldn't waste our $$$$

Post by 2500 HD »

Written by Dr. Paul L. Williams

"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: One-- paid for personally out of President's salary.
Jackie Kennedy: One
Roseline 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:

Michele Obama's personal staff:

One.. $172,200 - Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)
Two.. $140,000 - Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Policy And Projects For The First Lady)
Three.. $113,000 - Rogers, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to the President and White House Social Secretary for Mrs. Obama)
Four.. $102,000 - Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to the President
and Director of Communications for the First Lady)
Five.. $100,000 - Winter, Melissa (Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
Six.. $90,000 Medina , David S. (Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
Seven.. $84,000 - Lilyveld, Catherine M. (Director and Press Secretary to the First Lady)
Eight.. $75,000 - Starkey, Frances M. (Director of Scheduling and Advance for the First Lady)
Nine.. $70,000 - Sanders, Trooper (Deputy Director of Policy and Project for the First Lady)
Ten.. $65,000 - Burnough, Erinn (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
Eleven.. $64,000 - Reinstein, Joseph B.(Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
Twelve.. $62,000 - Goodman, Jennifer R. (Deputy Director of Scheduling and Events Coordinator For The First Lady)
Thirteen.. $60,000 Fitz, Alan O.(Deputy Director of Advance and Trip Director
for the First Lady)
Fourteen.. $57,500 - Lewis, Dana M. (Special Assistant and Personal Aide to the First Lady)
Fifteen... $52,500 - Mustaphi, Semonti M. (Associate Director and Deputy Press Secretary To The First Lady)
Sixteen.. $50,000 - Jarvis, Kristen E. (Special Assistant for Scheduling and Traveling Aide To The First Lady)
Seventeen.. $45,000 - Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (Associate Director of Correspondence For The First Lady)
Eighteen.. $43,000 - Tubman, Samanth a (Deputy Associate Director, Social Office)
Nineteen.. $40,000 - Boswell, Joseph J. (Executive Assistant to the Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
Twenty.. $36,000 - Armbruster, Sally M. (Staff Assistant to the Social Secretary)
Twenty-One.. $35,000 - Bookey, Natalie (Staff Assistant)
Twenty-Two.. $35,000 - Jackson, Deilia A. (Deputy Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady)
(total $1,591,200 in annual salaries)

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.

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 !

These guys need to go back to school if that is what they get paid for. Good grief her hair is a mess.

It is hard for me to fathom the way the US Citizens just keep letting this happen. It is like we are totally whooped and just lay there and say go ahead do what ever you want to us. What is wrong with America where is the back bone?

You also have to go to the BBC or The Canadian Free Press to find out that the US Marines are Surging into The city of Marjah in Afganistan A Taliban Stronghold, and they expect HEAVY casulties on both sides. This is the Largest Surge in Afganistan History and our news is looking the other way. Maybe they don't want to report that BO cutback on Air Strikes because of money. He would rather Risk the life of our Sons and Daughters, than cutback on his Wifes spending habits! The Media doesn't want to report that the last few months starting in Sept to Oct to Nov have been the Biggest loses of US Soldiers of The Entire Afgan War. They can no longer Blame this on Bush, and Ripe Him everynight, so they don't report anything that would expose the truth about BO and the one sided nature of this idiotic Administration.

You hit the nail on the head the press is afraid to report the truth on what is going on for fear of reprisal, they should have seen this coming when they tar and feathered Joe the Plumber. That right there told me that if you speak out you will be punished by him and his cronies.

John Stossel, reported on The Oreilly Factor that he just purchased an $8,000. golf cart without spending a dime of his money. The governmnet under a Charlie Rangel Bill, paid the entire cost. The dealer discounted them $2000. and there were tax credits for electric vehicles equal to $6,500. Aren't our Congressmen intelligent? Don't you feel warm and fuzzy that uninformed tax payers are forced to pay for luxury items for golfers.
Maybe we should pay the cost of shipping them to the Virgin Islands to ride around our new nature park.

I would have thought the sci-fi would be right in line with you since you are already stuck in the twilight zone.

She might as well join the administrations spending orgy.

It makes great press doesn't it??? Too bad Dr. Paul L. Williams' story tells 10% of the truth along with 90% lies. I googled "first lady's aides" and the first thing that came up was this reliable, unbiased, source from Today MSNBC.

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/33181610#storyContinued

It talks about why she AND others before her require such a large supporting cast.

(Counting on the 6 to 10 guys here probably won't go to these links provided, I'll give you all the basic info.) If you read half way down, it claims that Michelle does have 24 aides, close to number that Dr. Paul L. Williams' story claims at a cost of $1.5 million. That is true. But here comes the lies. That's about the same number of aides for Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton, not added together either. That's about 24 for Laura and about 24 for Hillary, not the 1 and 3 reported in your story.

Did anybody notice the "countdown until Obama leaves office" clock on the Canada Free Press' site? Are they unbiased? Check out how many category links they have to Canadian related items, 3, verses American category links, 14. How Canadian are they? One would have to wonder!!!!!

Check this out as well from that same very simple Google search, (there were many by the way):

http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/m/ ... -staff.htm

Here it says Michelle has 22 aides but Laura and Hillary had just as many if not more!!!

If I'm wrong, I'm opened minded so show me a credible source that says otherwise. One hint, any stories referring to Dr. Paul L. Williams or anything from the Canada Free Press, (American is more like it), ain't one of them.

Don't get me wrong, I want to hear news that's blatantly wrong that needs attention by all Americans. A GOOD example is when it was brought before the American people that 18 soldiers were electrocuted in Iraq by simply taking a shower. Taking a simple shower, not a bullet, not an IED, but a simple shower!!!!! (At least one was on their third tour.) My brothers from the IBEW went there and helped fixed the problem. At least 2 of them were close union brothers to me. That's right, union electricians from the IBEW were sent to fix the problem. Did you read that in the press? NO!!!!! Did you here anything else about further electrocutions? NO!!!!! I'd say "PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!" How could they fix the problem you say????? They were "TRAINED"!!!!! That's what the IBEW and other construction unions do all the time, every day, every week, every month, every year, all the time. To bad it cost 18 American soldiers' lives.

I also understand that you 6 to 10 guys here may not care for Obama but don't be the spreading cancer by using lies such as this. That's the last thing this country needs. I'm just as pissed off as you.

Maybe the difference between you 6 to 10 guys here and me is I despise Congress a hell of a lot more. That includes all of them, Dems, Repub's and Independents alike. Obama's not the threat here------yet. Look at his signature reform that he wants, health care. He wants it so bad but he can't due to Congress, the Senate to be more exact. They control everything. He can't do much when Congress is acting the way they are. IF Congress gets their act together, that's when we'll see what he's made of.

The vacating of Congressmen have already started with the Democrats. That's a start and I think that makes them look good in the peoples' eye. But the Republicans should take their cue here and do the same as well. Since they haven't yet, I think that makes them look bad. They won't though because of unprecedented partisanship that runs amok on BOTH sides of the isle. The answer is-----GET RID OF ALL OF THEM and see if Ross Perot or Colin Powell is still available. It can't hurt much more.

Try this link on for size as well relating to these blatant lies you 6 to 10 guys spread here:

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/firstlady.asp

Here it says it's true that Michelle currently has 22 aides on her staff. But it goes on to say that Laura Bush had 24 to 26, Lady Bird Johnson had 30, Betty Ford had about the same. BUT GET THIS!!!!! Jacqueline Kennedy had 40!!!!!

Did I forget to mention that Jackie O also was instructed to remodel the White House as well????? That's another way to spread false information as well. It's called using half truths. But I see that you 6 to 10 guys already have that down pat as well.

Let me know if you want anything else that needs investigating. I've got plenty of time on my hands since I'm laid off for about a year. (Thanks Mr. Bush and Congress of his era, I miss you all).

Till the next time when I see you all need my assistance, (next drive-by),
Da Chief, Jeff Leonard

PS: Joseph Stack, that guy that flew his plane into the Texas IRS building is my hero. There's only a few things that we don't have in common. One is I can't fly.

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:


You are a serious nutsack. A coward who flew his AIRPLANE into a building to try and KILL people because he was pissed over something is YOUR HERO?????

You COULD emulate him however in a manner that won't really hurt anyone....why don't you go burn YOUR house down like he did before trying to kill others...


Good grief I knew libtards were unhinged, but this is rediculous.
The 1st amendment allows the usual liberal narcissistic "I think.." which is how they start all their sentences.

The second amendment protects us from implementing "I think"
