[quote:Anonymous Coward 1373293:MV8yMzgzMDM5XzQwNzgxNTk0XzYwNkUzRTg=] >Common sense. Nothing common about it anymore apparently. Look at the knee jerking in this thread. Now imagine what happens when something 'real' happens. ...budgets...lol. Made up crap anyways and people complaining about 1.5 million for a staff of 10-12 people. No one here remotely understands how a budget is made or what a dollar is really worth. It's all very, very, very stupid. [/quote]

"Now, reports are surfacing that her entire entourage costs taxpayers around $1.4M per year. That is almost three times the cost of Laura Bush’s staff, which was $561,325."

"Word coming out of a Canadian press outlet is revealing that American taxpayers are shelling out a staggering total of
$1,591,200 annually for the First Lady’s 22 member personal staff. She has deputy assistants to the President and Policy and Projects; a press corps; deputies for chief of staff social secretaries; and associate directors of scheduling, traveling aides, and correspondence people who help full time directors of these divisions. This figure doesn’t include her make- up artist or First Hairstylist who rode with her aboard Air Force One on one trip to Europe."
