AllGov - News - Obama Staff Salaries 15% Higher Than Bush Staffers
Even though President Barack Obama followed through with his pledge to freeze the salaries of White House staffers making more than $100,000, Team Obama is making 15% more than what George W. Bush’s crew made in 2008. An analysis by National Journal’s Hotline on Call revealed that Obama although did indeed freeze the top salaries, he also has more people working for him than Bush. The salary information was posted on the White House website, a first for any administration.

In New York State, after Eliot “Droopy Drawers” Spitzer resigned, David “Turn a Blind Eye” Paterson became Gov. Paterson’s staff as Governor was larger than Spitzer’s Governor’s staff and Paterson’s Lt Governor’s staff combined. Not only that, he got rid of a lot of Spitzer’s people, as is his right, replacing them with what sure looked like race-based hiring with no attention to qualifications, and with higher pay than the people they replaced. I never heard any professional journalists discussing this when the topic of trimming the NYS budget came up.
