I'm surprised nobody has pointed this fact out yet; 4 of the top 5 salary-earners are shared staffers between the First Lady and the President:
1. $172,200 - Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)
2. $140,000 - Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Policy And Projects For The First Lady)
3. $113,000 - Rogers, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to the President and White House Social Secretary for Mrs. Obama)
4. $102,000 - Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to the President and Director of Communications for the First Lady)
5. $100,000 - Winter, Melissa E. (Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
This makes the salary figures attributable to First Lady Michelle at least somewhat lower than the full salaries listed here. But anything to make Michelle Obama look worse, right?

LOLOLOL Good find.
Can we expect a new thread showing how MO is actually reducing costs?
I'm still waiting for the links to the posts from conservatives complaining about Laura Bush's staff, Dubya's frequent trips on Air Force One to his ranch in TX, his spending on the war after promising it would be paid for by Iraq's oil wells, etc.
When it comes right down to it, it's really ridiculous. When the GOP is in office, the Democratic party complains about everything they do and vice versa. Being an independent, I find fault fairly equal on both sides. When will everyone realize they thrive on this competition and pitting us against each other so we ignore the reality of their doing nothing and accomplishing very little except excessive spending no matter who is in office?

You're first sentence got me all ready to write 'me! I'm a conservative that has complained mightily on reps spending, including the large staff of LB.
But then I read the rest of your post and I must say that I completely agree. I often wish that people who are so wedded to a party would ask themselves before getting mad about what party X is up to is would they still be mad if their party was doing it. There is so much intellectual dishonesty on these boards sometimes it makes me depressed that anything can ever change for the better.
