Michelle Obama Has 26 Paid Assistants, More Than Any First Lady In History

October 29, 2009 · Filed Under Politics

According to Canada Free Press, Michelle Obama has more paid assistants than any First Lady in U.S. history. The total combined salaries of her 26 assistants is $1,750,000 per year paid for by tax payers. That does not include the cost of the lavish benefits package each one also receives.

When compared to past First Ladies, Michelle Obama is so far out of the norm it’s actually stunning.

Hillary Clinton = 3 assistants

Laura Bush = 1 assistant

Jackie Kennedy = 1 assistant

Michelle Obama = 26 assistants

It sounds like Michelle is doing a hell of a lot behind the scenes that we don’t know about to need that many assistants. Congress should look into this and find out what she’s up to.

I know, I know, I’m racist for bringing this up. So be it.
