"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.

same reason.. Nobody else does what they do! Period...

Who bid against them?

Like most of the criticism, the Haliburton issue is a red herring
manufactured by the opposition... Like most of these issues, they are
criminalizing "government as usual", and in this case, have done exactly
the same thing themselves... IE Tom Delay...

This is only possible because of the full support of the Media. we are
already seeing censorship and the stomping of the constitution with new
rules against criticism in the senate and senators political speech,
next it will be the rest of the media, just like I said long ago. We are
in huge trouble..

Oh, come on now. You can't possibly think that the
Bush/Cheney/Halliburtion/Dubai debacle was on the up and up. No one
except a complete opposite of Harry could think that!!!!!!

I would have said "well connected to the right people" as Obama is fueling
the fire and he a talk a lot appoligise later democrat. Unless of course
you think BO (Bailout Obama) is doing the republican's bidding?

Whatever Obama does is OK, if you can respond with something Bush or
Cheney did.

What a mindset!

You don't think the Obama's were in it for the charity? Do you?

I can only assume it is just another example of hospitals overcharging
patients so they will have huge quantities of cash to squander in
foolish ways......



$300,000 isn't a lot in a major city for someone working as a "rainmaker."

Lu lives in a part of Florida that until recently paid teachers with
master's degrees $28,000 a year, and where a very special bit of
corruption between the local cops and infrastructure contractors has
"off duty" cops snoozing in the local government's patrol cars at the
sites "protecting" highway construction sites.
