Replacing Michelle in Chicago
At the top right hand corner of Page 17 of the New York Post of
January 24th, 2009, was a short column entitled “Replacing
Michelle” in the National Review “The Week” column. Here it is,
word for word, as it appeared:
Some employees are simply irreplaceable. Take Michelle Obama:
The University of Chicago Medical center hired her in 2002 to run
“programs for community relations, neighborhood outreach,
volunteer recruitment, staff diversity and minority contracting”.
In 2005, the hospital raised her salary from $120,000 to
$317,000 nearly twice what her husband made as a Senator.
Oh, did we mention that her husband had just become a U.S.
Senator? He sure had. And that he immediately requested a $1
million earmark for the UC Medical Center, in fact?… You betcha
by golly… He surely did. Way to network Michelle!
But now that Mrs. Obama has resigned, the hospital says her
position will remain unfilled. How can that possibly be???
Especially if the work she did was vital enough to be worth $317,000?
Oh, by the way, let me add that Michelle’s position was a part
time, 20 hour week job at $317,000.00 per year !! And to think
they were critical of Blagojevich’s wife for taking $100,000 in
fuzzy real estate commission.
Question is.. How did this bit of quid pro quo corruption escape
the sharp reporters that dug through Sarah Palin’s garbage &
kindergarten files?
You get 3 guesses & the first 2 don’t count. Bingo!! – You’re
right. Bring on 2010 & 2012 elections…
“IN GOD WE TRUST!!”–we better because you sure can’t trust your
elected officials.
“I’ll keep my freedom, guns & money… You can keep the change!!”
