First Lady Now Requires 26 Servants
“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.
We were wrong.
Michelle Obama, as we reported on July 7, is not served by twenty-two attendants who stand by to cater to her every whim.
She is served by twenty-six attendants, including a hair dresser and make-up artist.
The annual cost to taxpayers for such unprecedented attention is approximately $1,750,000 without taking into account the expense of the lavish benefit packages afforded to every attendant.
Little did American voters realize the call for “change” would result in the establishment of an Obama oligarchy.
The discovery of the additional attendants was made by D’Angelo Gore of factcheck.org and by calls to Katie McCormick Lelyyeld, Michelle Obama’s press secretary.
Mr. Gore launched his investigation of the First Lady’s staff in the wake of an article that appeared on thelastcrusade.org and Canada Free Press on July 7.
The article, which became a chain letter viewed by millions of Americans, reported that Michelle Obama requires more than twenty attendants - - more than any First Lady in U.S. History. It provided the following list of White House staff members assigned to the First Lady:
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. $102,000 - 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)
11. $65,000 - Reinstein, Joseph B. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
12. $62,000 - Goodman, Jennifer R. (Deputy Director of Scheduling and Events Coordinator For The First Lady)
13. $60,000 - Fitts, Alan O. (Deputy Director of Advance and Trip Director for the First Lady)
14. $60,000 - Lewis, Dana M. (Special Assistant and Personal Aide to the First Lady)
15. $52,500 - Mustaphi, Semonti M. (Associate Director and Deputy Press Secretary To The First Lady)
16. $50,000 - Jarvis, Kristen E. (Special Assistant for Scheduling and Traveling Aide To The First Lady)
17. $45,000 - Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (Associate Director of Correspondence For The First Lady)
18. $45,000 - Tubman, Samantha (Deputy Associate Director, Social Office)
19. $40,000 - Boswell, Joseph J. (Executive Assistant to the Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
20. $36,000 - Armbruster, Sally M. (Staff Assistant to the Social Secretary)
21. $36,000 - Bookey, Natalie (Staff Assistant)
22. $36,000 - Jackson, Deilia A. (Deputy Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady)

I was going to ask the same thing - I know they all have their own staffs.Originally Posted by DomainMagnate

To put all of this in perspective read the last 2 paragraphs of this Snopes article http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/firstlady.asp
Good find, H2FC.

This has to be at least the 10th false negative story I've seen about the Obamas in the last couple of months.
Obama must be one great guy -- his enemies seem to be unable to find anything truthful that is negative, so they have to make things up.
Always looking out for the Obama's aren't you. The difference between the previous First Lady's and Michelle Obama is that were in a recession so maybe the Whitehouse needs to lead by example and cut back on so many "attendants". If I have to cut back on my spending then they should have to cut back on theirs. Don't you think that's fair?
I wonder which "attendant" has the job of ass wiper? lol

Yeah, that's a great idea. Since we're in a recession, let's recommend they cut back on their Secret Service protection also. Hey, that'll save us a few million a year.
The White House? Screw that!, let's foreclose on it and move everyone into row houses in Sourtheast D.C. Easily another 50 mil saved!
Armored car? pffft, trade it in for a Prius!
Airforce 1? hell no, a fleet of Cesnas for everyone!
The right-wingers have been on a rampant smear/propaganda campaign against Obama that is bigger than any I can recall in my lifetime. Just look at the snopes page for Obama. Good God. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/
No....not really....I just have this little thing about getting to the truth of the matter.
I know you and your little band of Obama bashers don't appreciate that but quite frankly....I don't give a damn!....get used to it.
It's one thing to look out for them, it's another to actually call out negative or misleading stories about someone.
And by your suggestion - you do realize that by cutting back they would be laying off people thus contributing to the recession as opposed to keeping them at work?
Spending money is what drives our capitalist economy. Not spending causes it to stop.
No one asked us to cut back, we have to cut back to continue to make ends meet.

That's what it all boils down to it seems.
"OMG, The sky is falling!" smear campaign.
Anyone with any bit of common sense can see right through it.
Now now I never said anything about what you mentioned. we were only talking about the First lady's nonessential staff. I'm not asking them to cut back on anything that is essential to do their job.
Doe's she need all that staff to do her job? I'm not asking for her to get rid of essential staff. The governments job is to create an environment for entrepreneurs and businesses to spend and investment in the economy and in turn create jobs. Government spending doesn't help at all if it did the stimulus plan would have worked. What was the result? Higher unemployment and down the road higher taxes.

I am a right winger, "or was." I believe in no parties now because they separate people and we are all one. I like Obama, now that I know he is going to tell the world the real truths about UFO's and aliens before the year is out. He will be the best President ever in my book for telling us the truth about aliens. I know for an absolute fact that aliens are very real and all religions are telling falsehoods. We are going to have some hard times ahead though, but it is not going to be President Obama's fault.
Our entire solar solar system is rapidly changing because an energy wave is coming out of the center of the Milky Way (out of the black hole) and this is scientific fact. It is traveling faster than the speed of light too. Every planet in our solar system (especially the Sun) are changing fast and this is scientifically proven now. Yes, global warming is very real but we are not causing it. We are at the end of a 62 million year cycle. We are completing a 26 million year cycle too. Every living thing is evolving to the 5th dimension and this is natural. To think our nasty pollution (which we don't have to do because Tesla invented free clean energy in 1902) on little Mother Earth is causing Global warming is ludicrous. Mother earth is coming with us to the fifth dimension. Mother Earth is a living sentient being! Study it so you won't be shocked when it happens. There is just to much proof now to ignore it all!
Lets look at it logically. The Suns mass is 99.86 of all the mass in our solar system. All the planets and the moons amount to 0.14% of all mass. Our little planets mass is hardly measurable in our solar system. Do you really think we could cause global warming now. I am not saying there will be doom and gloom like the people that hardly study it say. It will be wonderful in the fifth dimension. 100 times better than living on 3D earth. We are in the 4th dimension now.You must have noticed how much faster time passes now. Your DNA is changing and this is scientific fact now also! Your governments will not tell you this. It will cause the world to go into a huge depression if they do, unless we pull out the free energy we have available.
Spiritual people (NOT RELIGIOUS PEOPLE) will ascend about mid 2011 before the natural disasters are more prevalent. Mother earth is coming about 2013 after a complete cleansing! Those that choose to live in a 3D world will die and be reincarnated on another 3D planet until they want to evolve to the 5th dimension. We are Eternal Spiritual Beings having a human experience and our Spirits will live forever no matter what happens. This also can be proven via quantum mechanics now. Energy never dies, it only changes forms. See David Wilcock videos or read 800 books like he has (with a photo graphic memory) to prove this all.
Love and light

bd77: So precisely what should we do with the dozens of people now on social security that your idea would result in?
Oh, wait, they're unemployed, and therefore must be lazy people that don't want to work. Let's forget about the $1.7m it's also taken out of DC's local economy.
Adatise: Now, on the off chance that you don't ascend, and the world doesn't end just before 2013... what precisely are you going to do?
That being said, I'm sure the world will end then, and the righteous people that believe will ascend... so as an unbeliever, can you give me your domains in November 2012?
