"Some employees are simply irreplaceable. Take Michelle Obama, for
example. 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 U.S. senator. Oh, did we mention
that he had just become a U.S. 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: Roland Burris's wife wasn't interested."



Dick Cheney was CEO of Halliberton, quit to become Vice President, but
still gets "deferred compensation," bonuses and held stock until 2006.

Halliburton received no bid contracts and cost plus contracts for
their work in the Iraq war.

Profiting from a war, especially one you were instrumental in
starting, should **** you off.

But it doesn't. Everything is Obama.

War profiteering used to be a bad thing, but it's ok now. As long as
you are a Republican, that is.


Don't be an...... Clinton used Haliburton in the Balkans too, for the
same reason.. Nobody else does what they do! Period...

That wasn't a "no bid" contract.
