Recession, Depression, What Michelle Worry?
First Lady requires more than
twenty attendants
By Dr. Paul L. Williams Monday,
Canada Free Press. July 6, 2009.
Update: First Lady Now Requires 26 Servants
“The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people
who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it”
Albert Einstein

country that has given me so much,” she said. “See, that’s why I left a
job at a big law firm for a career in public service, “ Michelle Obama
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

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 Miz Michele are the same as
members of the national security and defense departments and the bill
for these assorted lackeys is paid by John Q. Public:
