JOBS! (at the White House)

 

This is really what the White House is all about. It’s the 'People’s House.' It’s a place that is steeped in history, but it’s also a place where everyone should feel welcome. And that's why my husband and I have made it our mission to open up the house to as many people as we can." – Michelle Obama

 

Politico:

The White House released its annual report to Congress on staff salaries. At 4:39 p.m. on Friday.

A quick review found the White House payroll appears to have grown since last year, going from $37.1 million in 2011 to $37.8 million in 2012.

The number of employees listed also grew  -- from 454 last year to 468 in 2012....

.... On this year's report, there were 68 special assistants to the president, 22 assistants to the president and 24 deputy assistants....

 

"Barack Obama is no Thomas Jefferson"

How's this for "Administration of the White House" ?

Thomas Jefferson had one messenger and one secretary at his disposal, both of whose salaries were paid by the President personally. It was not until 1857 that Congress appropriated money ($2,500) for the hiring of one clerk. By Ulysees S. Grant's presidency, the staff had grown to three.

Always, and very nearly non-stop, they [attempted to] rip President Reagan to pieces for being "too old" (like they did with McCain, BTW). Oh, how I miss Reagan: (0:57) http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=tiNVqYwVfWE (29:33) http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=qXBswFfh6AY (P.S., JFK was a dirtbag -- period.)

Working at the White House actually intrigues me. I can only imagine how different it is with all the protocols, security, and secret service everywhere.

Wedding this distance, such as swan feathers woven, giving the impression of elegance, but the material is yarn, near a very human romantic.
