For anyone interested in the actual facts: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/firstlady.asp

According to this 2008 White House office staff list for the Bush administration, there were 16 positions with the title of "First Lady" beside their name working for Laura Bush, the same number Michelle Obama is listed as having on the 2009 White House office staff list. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv...ary_title.html

Actually, I was thinking as I read it--it sounds like a lot of these people work for the President, but that attending to the personal matters of the white house (including anything that concerns the First Lady) is part of the job description.

Regardless, the list provided does not list 26 people who work exclusively for the First Lady. If anything, they're multi-tasking.

I realize the facts get in the way of a good political attack on the First Lady enjoyed by those that don't like her, but the facts seem pretty clear to me.
