Last Updated on Thursday, 11 March 2010 08:54 Written by Scott Thursday, 11 March 2010 08:25
Well the date of 3/20/2010 is getting closer! 2:00 PM is the time that we are scheduled to say, “I do” to each other. I have a countdown timer that is keeping you up to date on it, in case you forget.
Yes, we are tying the knot! It has been quite a long time coming, we had our first date October 14th, 2006. I am excited to put this task behind us. We aren’t doing anything fancy, we’ve both been married before and it has been such a wait that we didn’t figure there was much of a reason to make a big fuss about it.
We will be heading up to Berlin, OH to a cottage setting to be married, just the two of us, guess you could call it an elopement. Again, the wedding will take place on March 20, 2010 at 2:00 PM, so make sure you stop what you are doing at that time and pretend you are there with us and smile.
I will update you all when it is all done, but for now I just wanted to make sure that I got this news out there in case there is anyone out of the loop.
Take care web.

First Lady Requires More Than Twenty Attendants

“The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it”
—Albert Einstein
“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, “ Michelle Obama
No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn’t perform any official duties. But this hasn’t deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession. Just think Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary.
How things have changed! If you’re one of the tens of millions of Americans facing certain destitution, earning less than subsistence wages stocking the shelves at Wal-Mart or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers, prepare to scream and then come to realize that the benefit package for these servants of Miz Michele are the same as members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by John Q. Public:
$172,2000 – Sher, Susan (CHIEF OF STAFF)
$140,000 – Frye, Jocelyn C. (DEPUTY ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR OF POLICY AND PROJECTS FOR THE FIRST LADY)
$113,000 – Rogers, Desiree G. (SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND WHITE HOUSE SOCIAL SECRETARY)
$102,000 – Johnston, Camille Y. (SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE FIRST LADY)
$102,000 – Winter, Melissa E. (SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF TO THE FIRST LADY)
$90,000 – Medina, David S. (DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF TO THE FIRST LADY)
$84,000 – Lelyveld, Catherine M. (DIRECTOR AND PRESS SECRETARY TO THE FIRST LADY)
$75,000 – Starkey, Frances M. (DIRECTOR OF SCHEDULING AND ADVANCE FOR THE FIRST LADY)
$70,000 – Sanders, Trooper (DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF POLICY AND PROJECTS FOR THE FIRST LADY)
$65,000 – Burnough, Erinn J. (DEPUTY DIRECTOR AND DEPUTY SOCIAL SECRETARY)
$65,000 – Reinstein, Joseph B. (DEPUTY DIRECTOR AND DEPUTY SOCIAL SECRETARY)
$62,000 – Goodman, Jennifer R. (DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF SCHEDULING AND EVENTS COORDINATOR FOR THE FIRST LADY)
$60,000 – Fitts, Alan O. (DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF ADVANCE AND TRIP DIRECTOR FOR THE FIRST LADY)
$60,000 – Lewis, Dana M. (SPECIAL ASSISTANT AND PERSONAL AIDE TO THE FIRST LADY)
$52,500 – Mustaphi, Semonti M. (ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR AND DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY TO THE FIRST LADY)
$50,000 – Jarvis, Kristen E. (SPECIAL ASSISTANT FOR SCHEDULING AND TRAVELING AIDE TO THE FIRST LADY)
$45,000 – Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE FIRST LADY)
$45,000 – Tubman, Samantha (DEPUTY ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR,SOCIAL OFFICE)
$40,000 – Boswell, Joseph J. (EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO THE CHIEF OF STAFF TO THE FIRST LADY)
$36,000 – Armbruster, Sally M. (STAFF ASSISTANT TO THE SOCIAL SECRETARY)
$36,000 – Bookey, Natalie (STAFF ASSISTANT)
$36,000 – Jackson, Deilia A. (DEPUTY ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE FIRST LADY)
The article above was originally posted on Canada Free Press on July 6, 2009. Since this time there has bee an update to the information, please see First Lady Now Requires 26 Servants to get more info on that. Enough to make you a bit upset for sure, especially when you consider this:
Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary from her husband’s salary.
Total Personal Staff members for other first ladies paid by taxpayers:
Mamie Eisenhower: One– paid for personally out of President’s salary.
Jackie Kennedy: One
Roseline Carter: One
Barbara Bush: One
Hilary Clinton: Three
Laura Bush: One
I recommend reading the follow-up to this, First Lady Now Requires 26 Servants and form your own thoughts and opinions. As for my opinion, I would demand the removal of all of these staff members if the power were mine. Leave a comment, tell me what you think.
Still Shopping?
Last Updated on Monday, 22 February 2010 06:40 Written by Scott Sunday, 29 November 2009 11:00
Do you still have shopping to do? I do as well, just a few more items not a whole lot. I have been looking at the deals coming out on the web tomorrow for CyberMonday, actually alot have already come out.
Browsing around I have found that one of the toughest places on the web to beat is Amazon.com
Nikon Coolpix L100
One amazing deal that I found is the Nikon Coolpix L100 10MP Digital Camera with 15x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom. This is an awesome camera if you are shopping for a point and shoot model. It has 10.0 megapixels to start with, which will give you a lossless print size up to 20 x 30 inches. It also has a 15x optical zoom, this is not like many cameras that have a digital zoom which can reduce the quality of the photo. There are other cool features like smile mode which only releases the shutter when a subject smiles, 3.0 inch LCD display and a blink warning that tells you when a subject has blinked. There is much more and I am personally recommending that you give it a look if you are in the market for a great camera. The price is the greatest part, at $189.99 this is a tough deal to pass up. Use this link to go directly to it: Nikon Coolpix L100 10MP Digital Camera with 15x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom
Another site I recommend for not only gifts, but everyday items for decorating and furniture is Hope Road Gifts, you can get 25% off through CyberMonday by using the coupon code “BlackTurkey” during the checkout process. The reason I like this site is simple, 25% of all proceeds are contributed to 200million-nickels.com, so whenever you buy you are helping to build a future for the homeless people right here in our country.
Just wanted to throw this info out there for everyone, hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
Take care web.
