Replacing Michelle

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. So 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 US Senator? He sure had. Requested a $1 million earmark for the UC Medical Center, in fact. Way to network Michelle!

But now that Mrs. Obama has resigned, the hospital says her position will remain unfilled. How can that be, if the work she did was vital enough to be worth $317,000?

Let me add that Michelle's position was a part time, 20 hour a week job. And to think they were critical of Blagoyovich' s wife for taking $100,000 in fuzzy real estate commission.

My thoughts: How did this bit of quid pro quo corruption escape the sharp reporters that dug through Sarah Palin's garbage and kindergarten files?

Unbelievable!

I hope this is forwarded so many times that the media will HAVE to cover
it.

The media probably knew it, but that's another story :devil:


racial thing???
No. As long as the press thinks they are the little darlings of America that they helped install, they won't print anything like that :toetap:

Something isn't right with just 1 million going to that place.

300K per year since 04 wouldn't pan out. They would have a net loss on that deal. So there MUST be some more money under the table on top of the table for that to work.

I haven't bothered to do any fact checking on the story linked. So I dunno.

I do know that typically, there is some smoke thrown into the mixthat makes running the story subject to getting a black eye for your employer. If the people in the story can succeed in making things look half right, running it on a national news outlet can make that place look like crap.

All in all though, our media blows.
