I HOPE BARACK AND MCHELLE REMEMBER THAT ???CHANGE??? WAS THEIR TICKET TO THE WHITE HOUSE. I hope that they don???t take it as a blank check to buy expensive dresses for Michelle and her daughters, for food freebies, luxury spa detailing on a daily basis, expensive facial and body treatments, etc. General Accounting Office estimates that any First Lady who comes without her own wardrobe - lke Michelle would, coming from an impoverished background - costs the average taxpayer $1.75 Million a year in closthing allowance, $1.2 Million a year in ???upkeep??? - meaning spa facials and massages - and 250,000 in ???dress accessories??? - eg, shoes and belts. Jewelry was not included in the GAO estimate. Just imagine how much additional that would be. And these are THEIRS TO KEEP, and take with them when they leave the White House. The last lady to run up that kind of bill was actually Hillary Clinton. Laura Bush apparently mostly used ???Bush old money??? for her shopping needs, and was not reported to be such a drain - just under $750,000 in her husband???s first term, and even less the next. Chelsea Clinton???s expensive Sidwell Friends schooling cost the taxpayers a hefty $4 million during the Clinton years - excluding the cstomary donations and fundraising private schools do. Is Obama going to pass on $8 Million in private school costs to the Taxpayer for his two girls? Is that his idea of ???change????
