I think you hit the nail on the head - at the national level, there is an expectation and it doesn't seem to matter who is in power. I guess by the time they get there, they've already compromised their ethics on the way up; and of course, when you are constantly surrounded by "your" people and those syncophants that want to get close to power, it's easy to lose perspective.
As far as Michelle Obama, I think maybe you are being a little unfair to her. She does have an "official" schedule, and she does have duties. And what your billing as "her" staff is not singularly devoted to her care and feeding -- the staff actually does all the stuff that doesn't directly pertain to the President and the "business side" of the US. Things like answering the mail, coordinating invitations, working on her schedule, etc, etc are what this staff does. They also work on all the protocol stuff.
