You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

According to Michelle Obama's press secretary, her current staff numbers 24, not 21. However, she also stated that Laura Bush's personal staff was the same size, and this may be true. According to the 2008 White House Staff List, 16 people had "First Lady" in their job titles; factcheck.org has verified two more, and others may have held titles such as "staff assistant," as some of Michelle Obama's staffers do. Michelle Obama's total staff payroll is around $1.4 million, while Laura Bush's was at least $1.2 million. Earlier First Ladies also had much larger staffs than your question suggests. Hillary Clinton's staff numbered as many as 19, and even Jacqueline Kennedy had at least nine staffers and possibly more.

The originator of this distortion appears to be Dr. Paul L. Williams, who runs thelastcrusade.org and is vehemently opposed to the policies as well as the personae of the Obama Administration. Writers of chain emails (and leading questions on Q&A sites) are now trying to spread the story.

CLARIFICATION: Dr. Williams' original assertion was that Michelle Obama's staff was "unprecedented" in size. The "no other president's wife needed more than three" part was apparently added to some of the emails.

this is probably the winning answer. it is amazing how people quibble, like when they say, "read the bill" now you care about each member of congress reading the entire bill, they never cared before, I would like to ask all the GOP reps if they read the Patriot act before they voted.

I would have to see where the figures are coming from and if some jobs have been reclassified. she does not strike me as a woman that would need a lot of extra staff or one that would waste taxpayers money for no good reason.
there has been rumors about the white house staff before, travel gate ...
it has to be taken with a grain of salt,

And yet the rest of us have to take care of ourselves with no help from anyone and most of us actually are responsible for several dependents. How many assistants do you think her 21 assistants need? I would think at some point that this would be so difficult to manage that it would become more unproductive to have that many people involved.

What makes her so special that she needs that many more assistants than all of the other president wives that have come before her. And why do people allow this type of stuff to happen when everyone else is having to downsize to save money.
