Offbeat, U.S.: “Hello, President Obama’s office. How may I help you?”

Darienne M. Page is the White House Receptionist – she gets paid $36,000 a year to sit at a desk and run Obama’s life. That’s low for D.C. money, BTW. source

    She gets paid too much for being a receptionist, making small talk, and not having a college education.

    She’s a receptionist. For the PRESIDENT. And housing in D.C. is very expensive. That seems quite unfair of you.

    She attended the University of Illinois after spending time in Iraq.…I think that’s experience worthy of a fair salary, especially considering what other White House staff are paid.

    Actually I am surprised she doesn’t make more. She IS working for the President. I can’t imagine a more stressfull and high pressure venue to be working at.

  • Former Public Servant

    If responsibility and skills needed were actually paid for in public service jobs the government would be in triple defceit spending.…..

    I have a very important policy proposal about leaders in Africa. I am wondering how or what to do to bring it to your attention for consideration. After the visit to Africa by the Secretary of State Mrs. H. Clinton, in particular to Nigeria, I decided that something new has got to be considered for the socio-economic problems we have out in Africa. They seem difficult but I think by the time you got this proposal, you may find it very interesting. I want to hear from your office for direction on how or what to do either to send it through email or by post. Thank you.

    Can somebody please check my earlier mails by post sent to President’s office after the campaign and the inauguration last year please. I had sent reminders but nobody has come up with a reply — can you check for me. It is the same name, you’ll find and thank you. It is all about the problems in Africa and how to deal with them.

    Vincent.
