But I started from assuming 2 staff each at 7 locations divided into $200k and came up with the just over $14k per person cost.

It is not a great wage by anyone’s (other than a person worth $100M) imagination.

The media showed its corruption and incompetence during McCain’s frightening and dangerous display on incompetence and irresponsibility during the Russia-Georgia crisis. Old white guy in a suite and tie gets on his hind legs and talks tough English -there you go, instant cred and responsibility even if what he says is mad.

The chances of competent coverage in the press is close to zero, so I see why Obama is trying to bypass it. I hope we see this ‘how many houses problem’ repeated each week, with tie ins to real issues. That is only way to get some corporate media attention that is not rigged against him.
