No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she
doesn't perform any official duties. But this hasn't deterred her from
hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim
and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great
Recession.
Just think, Mary Lincoln was taken
to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil
War. And Mamie Eisenhowe 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.
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.

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.Sorry
