The Unbelievable High Cost of Maintaining Michelle Obama’s Dignity as First Lady

The Unbelievable High Cost of Maintaining Michelle Obama’s Dignity as First Lady - A Sheep No More

“In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this 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,” says Michelle Obama. 

Mrs. Obama’s license to practice law was rendered “voluntarily inactive” due to a court order in a Insurance malpractice case. 

Since the First Lady holds no official “public office” nor does she receive any kind of salary, I find her statement quite puzzling.

Here is a list of staff members to help the First Lady in “maintaining the dignity of her office” and their salaries:

• Natalie F. Bookey Baker, executive assistant to the chief of staff to the first lady, $45,000;

• Alan O. Fitts, deputy director of advance and trip director for the first lady, $61,200;

• Jocelyn C. Frey, deputy assistant to the president and director of policy and projects for the first lady, $140,000;

• Jennifer Goodman, deputy director of scheduling and events coordinator for the first lady, $63,240;

• Deilia A.L. Jackson, deputy associate director of correspondence for the first lady, $42,000;

• Kristen E. Jarvis, special assistant for scheduling and traveling aide to the first lady, $51,000;

• Camille Y. Johnston, special assistant to the president and director of communications for the first lady, $102,000

• And this list goes on and on.....

So, to sum it all up, let’s imagine just for a moment that you had in your possession, an EBT card, one with no spending limit, and whatever you did spend, you’d never have to pay back. Then you’d know what it was like to walk a mile in Michelle Obama’s designer shoes.
