Does Michelle Obama need this much staff?

[vols4sure]

FYP...sorry, I'm a dork, can't let it slide....

Haha. Its been awhile. Was dividing by the wrong number.

forget this debate about Bush and bama mama, take note of the fact that we absolutely can't let the government take charge of health care or any private American business.

No, no. I once again remind you that I am by no means defending Michelle Obama having 22 staff people. I once again say I don't know what an appropriate number is. My gut reaction is that 5 or 6 is probably plenty.

By the same token, however, that means that Laura had a dozen or more too many, as well.

My gut reaction is she should be able to pick out her own clothes and do her own hair and makeup, do her own shopping and cooking and housework like 99% of the free world. At a taxpayer cost of $0. She needs a staff of 0. Does your wife/girlfriend/significant other work sir? Does she have a staff of people to do these things? My family members don't have a staff of paid individuals to do stuff for them, nor do I. Personal responsibility. Learn it.
The point, again, is that the new regime is NOT about doing what's best for the country. It's NOT about changing how things are done. It's about bloating the government and getting fat off it.
Laura Bush should also have had a staff of 0, no first lady, unless she has a paid government position, should have any staff members. And even then she should have to pay them herself, not the taxpayers.

If it is excessive to have 22, it is excessive to have 18 and the fact that the economy is so much worse now doesn't enter into it. The thread title should be: "Laura Bush and Michelle Obama: Wasteful spending on first lady staffs."

If you are upset with one, and your position is not purely political, then by definition you are obliged to be just as upset with the other.

If your position is not political, that is.

What part of, "the article is not about Laura Bush", does your diseased liberal mind fail to comprehend?

You are so upset that only the racist b*tch, Michelle Obama, was mentioned. I suggest you take it up with publisher of the article.

You have entered the thread throwing about personal insults and false accusations. Your blind devotion to the Obamafool, is to the point of foolishness.

I guess I should just consider the source. You're a liberal, a lawyer, and a Gator fan. My God, man. Do you have any redeeming qualities?
