Michele Obama's personal staff:
One.. $172,200 - Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)
Two.. $140,000 - Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Policy And Projects For The First Lady)

Since you like to cut and paste nonsense from over two years ago, let me cut and paste, too:

Laura Bush at the end of Bush's second term had the same amount. Nothing to see here. Move along...

I think a good lot of them are underpaid.

Thanks for the info Baba,it adequately answers my question.
I am amazed how a cartoon of two people walking and talking about snow sparks an Obama hating thread.
I am surprised I didn't see any of those comments in the pizza contest.

I, too, am perplexed by this, Russ. BTW, back in the day before rear wheel drive, I recall my Maverick getting stuck on the very last patch of snow in Rogers Park.

I had a Pinto, too, before the Maverick, back in the bad old days of U.S. auto manufacturing. I still haven't decided which of them was the worst car I ever owned.

I had a '76 Pinto myself. What a jalopy.

I would vote for the Pinto hands down.

Staying on point......we call this nuclear snow. A tasty mix of ice, something close to snow, soot, cinders and trash. It's like uncovering an historical record in mid May. (A drift of nuclear snow from the 2011 blizzard produced a dead mouse at the end of our driveway when it finally melted.)

you know, it amazes me how something a nothing as this comic will immediately spark an argument about an Obama. You can make a comic about puppies and the comments will eventually turn into hatred over the Mayor and the apt complex. You all need to go outside and walk. Exercise helps stop your anger.

Thanks for the response about the Feb. 19th post. You must have just returned from your walk. Hope you had a good trip and didn't step into any piles of ob*m*.

-_-_-_-_-_-_

While commenting about the comic on Feb 19th I didn't want to be politically incorrect and say the white spot on the walking path wasn't snow. Some people thought that Whitney Houston may have walked down that path and dropped one of her bags of white powder.

Nick - how did you know I just got back from my walk? Thanks for caring so much about what I might be stepping in, but I always look where I am going.

You're a Buffoon.
