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 you the taxpayers:
Mamie Eisenhower: One-- paid for personally out of President's salary.
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 Mrs. Obama 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 f or 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.
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

The
Canadian Free Press had to publish this. I wonder why the US media has
not brought this to light??? Too scared that they might be considered
racist or suffer at the hands of Obama???
