Why does the First Lady Michelle Obama need twenty-six (26) helpers and handlers when the taxpayers are stuck with the bill? Hello McFly, we are in a recession and headed toward depression! First Ladies used to personally pay for their staffs or have significantly smaller staffs.
It is time for Michelle to cut some of these jobs. She does not need 26 people to deal with her needs. The perks of public office!
This is ridiculous!

For comparison, let’s remember that poor Bess Truman and Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salaries for 5 of their personal secretaries from their own pocketbooks. Stephen Plotkin, reference archivist for the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, says that Jacqueline Kennedy’s office was “headed” by one person who supervised a staff of approximately nine full and part time workers (including the White House cooks and chambermaids).
