White House official Tina Tchen was promoted to assistant to the president and chief of staff for first lady Michelle Obama, the administration said Wednesday.

Tchen most recently served as deputy assistant to the president and director of the office of public engagement, and as executive director of the White House Council on Women and Girls, the White House said. She will still be the council executive director in her new position.

"I am thrilled to welcome Tina to my team," Michelle Obama said. "Tina's tenure at the White House has focused on ensuring that communities across the country have a voice and a presence at the White House, and her office has worked closely with mine to develop many of our outreach efforts, so she was the natural choice for this role."

Why does Mrs. Obama, a private citizen, have a "team" of staffers that we're paying lavish salaries to?

" "Tina's tenure at the White House has focused on ensuring that communities across the country have a voice and a presence at the White House"

WTF? . . . but digress.

Anyway, I'm sure she knows what she's talking about

Man... I bet she breaks mirrors when she isn’t wearing makeup. A bit frightening to think of what she must look like first thing in the morning.

She could go into a haunted house and walk out with a paycheck.

Christina M. Tchen -

For some odd reason I think the likes of Rosie O'Donnell will be happy with this promotion.

FLOTUS Flotsam .... Great googley moogley !

Just what we need a new carpetmunching dingbat for the First Ho.

Ever notice the democrats don’t have any attractive women?

[plangent]

Come to think of it, Michelle’s buring through these chiefs-of-staff pretty quickly. Wasn’t there a turnover just last fall?

You don’t suppose Michelle is a tad hard to work for, do you?

You don’t suppose Michelle is a tad hard to work for, do you?

Dunno -- B.0 probably can best answer that questions for you.

I saw this image on another thread earlier in the week but it was much smaller. I thought his jacket looked odd; its buttoned wrong. The leader of the free world can’t even dress himself properly. What a buffoon. These two were made for each other...

She's so ugly....when she cries, the tears run down the back of her head.

She's so ugly....she has to sneak up on a glass to get a drink of water.

And that ugly is just the part that oozes out of her inner being every minute of every day.

P.S. - I bet she is/was the hind catcher on her softball team.

[Rearden]

I was asking myself that very same question.

Didn’t I read somewhere recently that the O’s made several million bucks last year? Seems like “Lard Butt” could hire her own damn staff if she needs one.

She is the Red Queen of the Alice in Wonderland that America has become.

She became upset and offed Gibbs head figuratively.

[Eye of Unk]

Whats even more frightening is just trying to imagine the fertilization process in itself, the logistics, the effort, the audacity, and the unholy terror it must have been for some technician.

[snippy_about_it]

We the People need to cut the WH budget. There is no need for all this “staff”.

[Gaffer]

Damn!....it’s that dude (Bobby Lee?) from MAD TV!!!!!!
