This week the U.S. Executive Office of the President has released a list of White House office staff and the annual remumeration received.
President Obama's speech writers collectively cost taxpayers US $276,000 annually as of 1 July 2009:
Hurwitz, Sarah K. ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF SPEECHWRITING AND SENIOR PRESIDENTIAL SPEECHWRITER $85,000.00 per annum
Frankel, Adam P. SENIOR PRESIDENTIAL SPEECHWRITER $65,000.00 per annumKeenan, Cody S. PRESIDENTIAL SPEECHWRITER $45,000.00 per annum
Lovett, Jonathan I. PRESIDENTIAL SPEECHWRITER $45,000.00 per annum
O'Connor, Kyle P. ASSISTANT SPEECHWRITER $36,000.00 per annum
Which probably works out at somewhere between $1,000 to 2,000 for each major speech made in his first 100 days.Leading one to wonder: Just how much do Kevin Rudd's pearls of wisdom cost the Australian taxpayer?
