"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
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 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, 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.

Force One to Europe .
