May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Obama's Wife is Spending Spending Spending Your Money on Herself

As Obama spends us into an infinity of debt, his wife is certainly doing her best to contribute. While they continue to request others to "sacrifice", here's what she's spending.

She has 22 people on her staff. Previous First Ladies usually had a staff under 10 people.

Chief of Staff costing $172,000 a year
Deputy Chief of Staff - $90,000
Director of Policy and Projects - $140,000
Director of Communications at - $102,000
Deputy Director of Scheduling - $62,000
Two Social Secretaries - one at $65,000, one at $64,000
Associate Director of Correspondence at $45,000
Assistant to the Social Secretary at $36,000

That's $6.3-million per year, and if sustained, $25-million during her four years as fashion plate and leader of the food police with her magic garden.

So while Barry lectures us about our spending (don't go to Vegas [again], my hometown that needs visitors to survive), adjust our thermostats; perhaps he needs to lecture his wife. Especially since it's not his' and hers money.
