Paying for First Ladies

[longknife]

I've got to admit that I picked this up from another discussion forum. Just need to post this here.


Total Personal Staff members for other first ladies paid by taxpayers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:
Mamie Eisenhower:--- One-- paid for personally out of President's salary.


Total number of Personal Staff Members paid by Tax Payers.

Jackie Kennedy: ------- One
Rosaline 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, Samantha 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 – all for someone we did not vote for and apparently have no control over.

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. (I'm wondering why there are no guidelines or restraints for this and other activities concerning our government officials and their kin.)

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 ...

As usual, more lies from a bullshit source by longknife. Pathetic partisan hack.

Team Michelle: The 24 People Who Help The First Lady Function

"To accomplish all this, Mrs. Obama has a staff of 24 people, at a cost of more than $1.5 million, according to an annual White House report to Congress. This is roughly the size of the staffs of predecessors Laura Bush and Hillary Rodham Clinton."

 

[The Great Goose]

This is like how ******* love designer clothes. It's a dominance display.

Powerlessness + testosterone = insecurity.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Why do RWNJs believe that the constant stream of lies about the Obama's somehow helps their cause?

And WHY oh WHY are the so damn gullible that they post this same crap over and over?

Anyone wanna bet that more RWNJs will pile on, stupidly agreeing with the OP's lie?

 

[my2¢]

It still reads like the credits at end of a movie. Staff Injection

 

[Mr Natural]

A million and a half dollars spread out over 120 million taxpayers is a little over a penny from each of us!

Every year, year in, year out.

My God, the horror of it all.

 

[Alystyr]

Why should ANY First Lady, who isn't an elected official nor has any Constitutional responsibilities, have need of a "staff" unless they're getting more involved than they should be?
One assistant for setting appointments and maybe one for correspondence should be sufficient. When the assistants start getting assistants, who also have deputies and assistants of their own, it's getting a little out of hand.

Post ONE sane reply that refutes a SINGLE item in this post! If you can.

My God, the horror of it all.

But, as usual, that isn't the point of the OP. Just another leftist whining about truths they don't like.

It ain't about how much is costs each taxpayer. It's about how one unelected individual somehow feels she is so much better than any other person throughout the history of this nation.

Classless is clueless. This is the perfect example.

 

[Auld Phart]

You have to forgive Longknife, he was probably home-schooled and he gets his radio wave brain from Fox and other right wing media sources. It's Christmas time, so be kind to these corporate conservative tools, they know not what they think until told.

'A poll found that 30 percent of Republican primary voters support bombing Agrabah, the fictional city from Disney's Aladdin.'

'A poll found that 30 percent of Republican primary voters support bombing Agrabah, the fictional city from Disney's Aladdin.'

and that is worse than the students wanting to repeal the first amendment, or people wanting to ban H2O, or claiming that the phrase White Christmas is racist?

I've watched Aladdin several times, and had no recollection of the name of the city.

tempest in a teapot

 

[rightwinger]

Damn.....haven't seen this bullshit thread in a while

I thought conservatives figured it wasn't worth the beat down


Staff Injection

A look at some first ladies and their staff sizes:

Laura Bush: Between 24 and 26 by end of President George W. Bush's term in 2009, according to Anita McBride, Mrs. Bush's chief of staff.

Lady Bird Johnson, whose signature issue was beautifying roadways, had a staff of 30, said Stacy A. Cordery, a history professor at Montmouth [sic] College in Illinois who studies first ladies.

Betty Ford had almost the same number.

Jacqueline Kennedy, who made renovating the White House her cause, had about 40 peopleon staff, Cordery said.

With the word "Paying" in the title, and a listing of how much each staffer makes, it's exactly the point of the OP.

I thought "Paying for a First Lady" was referring to Donald Trump

Since when has the First Lady become part of the Executive Branch?

Are the children also part of it?

I remember when Nancy Reagan spent incredible amounts for her own pleasure and convenience - like a private beauty salon and beautician.

She also threw a fit when she found out the prez has to pay for food and personal needs. She didn't know they would be presented with a bill every month and wanted the taxpayer to foot the bill.
