    Replace Michelle Obama......hmmm

    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. I found this interesting, so here it
    is, word for word, as it appeared a few days ago......

    '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?


    We can think of only one explanation: Senator Roland Burris's wife
    wasn't interested.

    Snopes or no snopes, if all major politicians had to prove their worth in the working world, then 95% of them would be pulling minimum wage.

    And far more than any of the ED doctors make saving everyone's life, including those unable to pay for their service ...

    Politicians are people who don't want to work, have no measure for their worth and work the "system" for all it is worth.................

    That is exactly what I was thinking.
    And...
    When you and I worked at the same medical center.... I remember that we dept heads would get an annual bonus. Followed immediately by a request to make a contribution to their PAC.
    But they weren't lobbying. Right.
