Recession, Depression, What, Michelle Worry?
July 7, 2009
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.
How things have changed! If you’re one of the tens of millions of Ameri cans
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 Miz
Michelle are the same as members of the national security and defense
departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by John Q.

There has never been anyone in the White House at any time that 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 travelled aboard Air
Force One to Europe.*
