Hot damn,

Why do the American people
Why do the American people allow our public servants to treat themselves as royalty? Do the American people believe that they are really that important?
If it were up to me, they would all travel using public transportation. They would go through the same "security" as the rest of us common folks. Who the hell are they?
Time to cut expenses.
Send her back to Chicago. Now PLZ!

Well, she must need several attendants
just for the eyebrows alone. :)
Hmmm, odd we haven't seen this story in the
US press. Oh right, they're too busy idolizing anything Michelle does.
Well...
Everybody wants the Obama administration to create jobs. Sounds like they are doing a bang up job.
this is sickening

here's who they are

Come on
Not that I'm defending such a wasteful appropriation of your money but...
All first ladies have had this kind of staff. It's not like it was Mrs. Obama's idea. I'm sure that one day after her husband won the election someone just told her this is how it's gonna be when you're first lady.
No, Canada
You didn't read the rest of the Canadian Free Press article: http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/12652 , where it was noted that "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 an email forwarded to me on the subject, I will quote with a high degree of confidence that: "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."
For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and provide for it. - Patrick Henry
do you have a link to that about hillary etc?
Ron Paul is my President
Ron Paul is My President
But the Obamas are all about CHANGE.
But the Obamas are all about CHANGE.
The fact that the staff is probably just a pre-existing condition should not be indicative of anything because the Obamas say that pre-existing conditions should be given no consideration.

not Marie Antoinette, more like
the poor relatives You had given the key to Your house to watch over it while You're gone.
On Your return You discover that they have had parties on Your expenses all the time.
The telephone bill, the catering, the broken glass...
You know, that kind of experience.

"I think it would be a good idea"
Mahatma Gandhi,
when asked what he thought of Western civilization
Reminds me of Marie Antoinette, wife of King Louis XVI
Looks like the Obama's think they are aristocrats judging by the way they spend taxpayer money on their lavish life style.
Come to think of it, there are many parallels to the USA today and the time of the French Revolution of 1789-1799.
Makes me wonder what the future holds.
"The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence." Thomas H. Huxley
What happened during the French Revolution?
How about Guillotines?
And that's only the petty bourgeois
The list does not include the proles. No servants.
It's good to be
Queen.
"Obamney care," Nuff said.
