In America, we do not have royalty. We do not want royalty, and we do not want to pay for royalty. What you are about to read will disgust you. Below are the costs that the American Taxpayer must contribute just to Michelle Obama, whom I would proclaim shouldn’t be paid any of the below costs. Not a single dollar. First is the cost of her direct staff and their positions. Second is the cost of her trip to Spain followed by the sum. It should be of note that she is the first to have a staff this large. These costs are completely foolish expenditures.
First Lady Michelle Obama’s Servant List and Pay Scale
The First Lady Requires More Than Twenty Attendants (That’s 22
Attendants to be exact)
1. $172,200 – Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)
2. $140,000 – Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and
Director of Policy And Projects For The First Lady)
3. $113,000 – Rogers, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to the President
and White House Social Secretary)
4. $102,000 – Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to the President
and Director of Communications for the First Lady)
5. $100,000 – Winter, Melissa E. (Special Assistant to the President
and Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
6. $90,000 – Medina , David S. (Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First
Lady)
7. $84,000 – Lelyveld, Catherine M. (Director and Press Secretary to
the First Lady)
8. $75,000 – Starkey, Frances M. (Director of Scheduling and Advance
for the First Lady)
9. $70,000 – Sanders, Trooper (Deputy Director of Policy and Projects
for the First Lady)
10. $65,000 – Burnough, Erinn J. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social
Secretary)
11. $64,000 – Reinstein, Joseph B. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social
Secretary)
12. $62,000 – Goodman, Jennifer R. (Deputy Director of Scheduling and
Events Coordinator For The First Lady)
13. $60,000 – Fitts, Alan O. (Deputy Director of Advance and Trip
Director for the First Lady)
14. $57,500 – Lewis, Dana M. (Special Assistant and Personal Aide to
the First Lady)
15. $52,500 – Mustaphi, Semonti M. (Associate Director and Deputy Press
Secretary to The First Lady)
16. $50,000 – Jarvis, Kristen E. (Special=2 0Assistant for Scheduling
and Traveling Aide to The First Lady)
17. $45,000 – Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (Associate Director of
Correspondence For The First Lady)
18. $43,000 – Tubman, Samantha (Deputy Associate Director, Social
Office)
19. $40,000 – Boswell, Joseph J. (Executive Assistant to the Chief Of
Staff to the First Lady)
20. $36,000 – Armbruster, Sally M. (Staff Assistant to the Social
Secretary)
21. $35,000 – Bookey, Natalie (Staff Assistant)
22. $35,000 – Jackson, Deilia A. (Deputy Associate Director of
Correspondence for the First Lady)
The total cost is $1,591,200.00 per year just for the First Lady.
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.
Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, and
“First Hairstylist” Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom traveled aboard Air
Force One to Europe .
Now let’s look at her August trip to Spain.
Air Force 2 Round trip $180,000.00
Air Force 2 on the ground for 5 days $250,000.00
Hotel and Meals
$300,000.00
Per diem $75,000.00
Limo cars $70,000.00
Overtime pay $150,000.00
Total $1,025,000.00
Total cost spent just on first lady on these two issues $2,616,200.00
This is a person that doesn’t understand that she’s a public servant. I would argue that all First Lady’s should not exceed what their family budget allows. None of the above is necessary for the nations business and should have been paid by the Obama family.
Not the tax payer.
