Amazing what
"untouchables" can get away with!
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 from her husband's salary.

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:

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 ...
Yes, I know, The Canadian Free Press had to publish this, perhaps because
America no longer has a free press and the USA media is too scared that they
might be considered racist or suffer at the hands of Obama.
