WONDER WHY THE
LIBERAL MEDIA NEVER COVERED THIS STORY?
Wow, she must have
been really good at her job.
At the top right hand
corner of page 17 of the New York Post, January 24, 2009, was a column entitled,
"Replacing Michelle" in the National Review, The Week.
Here it is 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.
Her husband,
Barack Obama, had just become a U.S. Senator. He requested a $1 million
"Earmark" for the UC Medical Center. Way to network, Michelle!
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-hours-a-week job.
20hrs. X 52 weeks = 1,040
hours per year
$317,000 divided by 1,040
hours = $304.80 per hour.
My thoughts: How
did this bit of "quid pro quo" (scratch my back - I'll scratch yours) corruption
escape the sharp reporters that dug through Sarah Palin's garbage and
kindergarten files?
I hope this is
forwarded so many times that the media will HAVE to cover it..
Recession is
when your neighbor loses his job.
Depression is
when you lose your job.
Recovery is when
Obama loses his job--Let's make it happen!

Hat tip to Don H!
"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them." - Karl Popper
“It’s the presumption that Obama knows how all these industries ought to be operating better than people who have spent their lives in those industries, and a general cockiness going back to before he was president, and the fact that he has no experience whatever in managing anything. Only someone who has never had the responsibility for managing anything could believe he could manage just about everything.” - Thomas Sowell in Reason Magazine
