Michelle Obamas Aides

I'm sure everyone is aware but as a reminder I thought I would point out the extravagance of our First Lady.

In previous administrations taxpayer supported aides to First Ladies was minimum. Going back to Jackie Kennedy all First Ladies had 1 personal aide. Except for Hillary Clinton. She had 3.

First Lady Obama needs are slightly more encompassing. She has 22 aides at a cost to the taxpayers of $1,591.200 annually.

I may be feeling the slightest hint of hipocracy here. At a time when Pres. Obamas administration is asking everyone else to be frugal, asking financial institutions, whether they participated in TARP or not, even if they paid back their loans, with interest, to pay additional fees (taxes) to pay back TARP monies not paid back by some Banks, (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, etal.) to the tune of $90B US. and growing. Do you think the White House might think this a bit outragous? NOT.

It seems the only actions of this administration that are transparent are also outragous.

I'll be updating later advising any whomever might stumble upon my humble rantings of an MRC event scheduled for January 28th at 7pm-8pm.
