    First Lady Now Requires 26 Servants, Mrs. Obama Demands Small Army of Attendants


    Recession, Depression, What, Michelle Worry? Mrs. Obama Demands Small Army of Attendants

    I'm not a huge fan of the Canada Free Press (Too Right) or Factcheck.org (Too Left), but all commentary aside this isn't really an opinion piece. Hell, Hilary Clinton took major flack for having 3 assistants (filling the same roles as this list of 26) because previous and following first ladies only had 1 or 2 assistants filling these roles, most of whom were payed out of the Presidents salary.

    I'm just amazed that politicians get in trouble for $300 haircuts on their jet at a layover... I mean one haircut a week at $300, 52 weeks in a year, that's $15,600 yearly which isn't even close to $30,000+ for a personal hair assistant who flys around on your husbands work-plane with you

    Oh Chicago Way, how I've missed you while half way across the country for school. Thank God you are now the national mantra, as now anywhere I go feels like home.

          ...She also has a Washington DC "MyLife" account.

          Her full LinkedIn profile lists her as a former employee of that firm, and she's an "Associate Director of Correspondence" which is essentially PR work... Sounds like a reasonable job for someone with experience in marketing, though there appear to be redundant positions on this reports list.

            I'm going to make a prediction here

            drg will show up and say

            "your wrong"
            "conservatives are the devil"
            "capitalism is hell"

            then when you try to argue with him he'll say

            "your facts were established by a institution with bias"

            I'm going to start right now by saying

            Your wrong

            and your facts are biased

                  Well, in fairness, there were three uses of "your" but only four were incorrect. The second instance is proper usage ("your facts..." is possessive and accordingly, should not be "you are/you're")

                    Also one was a direct quote, so I'll give BL the benefit of the doubt and assume he left out the "[sic]" after the quote

                              I have not read a post in this thread.

                              I saw DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF SCHEDULING AND EVENTS COORDINATOR FOR THE FIRST LADY.

                              Seriously. That's a really long title.

                              That is all I have to say. I tend to avoid political thread. But wtf. That name is too long.
