The President's chief of staff to the dog gets an annual salary of $102,000!
From this source:
...The executive mansion is not in that much trouble, of course. It’s certainly not in sufficiently dire straits for Air Force One ($181,757 per hour) to be grounded, or to see the executive chef ($100,000 per year) furloughed, or to cut back on the hours of the three full-time White House calligraphers ($277,050 per year for the trio), or to limit the invaluable work of the chief of staff to the president’s dog ($102,000 per year), or to trim his ridiculous motorcade ($2.2 million). If Ellen DeGeneres wants another dancercize session or Spain holds another clothing sale, the first family will be there before you can say “citizen executive.” Fear ye not, serfs: Austerity may be the word of the week, but the president is by no means in any danger of being forced to live like the president of a republic instead of like a king....Millions of Americans are scrambling: low salaries, higher taxes, and rising health-insurance premiums. But those in the Obama White House are living like kings.
I wonder ... does the Chief of Staff to Bo carry a pooper-scopper with him? ;)
ReplyDeleteFor $102,000 a year, I'll pick up Obama's poop... it doesn't stink don'tcha know ;-)
ReplyDeleteCount me in for that salary. But you would have to put up with Moochelle and Barack Hussein, no thanks.

102K is not a bad salary for a dog walker -- typical of The Governing Class in Washington, DC, I'd say, where they believe an inexhaustible supply of taxpayer's money exists primarily to fund their every whim, caprice and fancy.
ReplyDeleteI imagine another federal employee is paid a large sum just to pick up the poop. [Union rules demand "Separation of Labor" you know.]
What I'd love to find out is what they pay the poor DOG for putting up with such a household? There isn't enough money in the world to pay me to play such a role! ;-)
And think what the VET bills must be!
Except that $102,000 in DC doesn't go very far!
ReplyDeleteI might not like what I have to put up with were I to have a job like this.
ReplyDeleteBut I could nab that salary for a couple of years -- then go live under a rock.
It would be nice if all of this was just a bad dream ... we wake up and the only one in the white house existing today, from the nightmare, is the BO the dog!
