Thread: Nobody can Replace Michelle Obama At Her $300,000 Job, It Wa

Replacing Michelle in Chicago

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. 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. And that he immediately requested a $1 million earmark for the UC Medical Center, in fact?... You betcha by golly…. He surely did. Way to network Michelle!

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

Oh, by the way, let me add that Michelle's position was a part time, 20 hour week job at $317,000.00 per year !! And to think they were critical of Blagoyovich's wife for taking $100,000 infuzzy real estate commission.

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

Sounds like Pay to Play to Me

Nobody can Replace Michelle Obama At Her $300,000 Job, It Was So Important – Nobody Did

She hasn’t shown up for work very regularly over the last year or so, so when Michelle Obama’s $300,000 job was cut at the University of Chicago Hospitals, it may have been hard to notice the difference. Crain’s skipped the part about the incoming First Lady, must have been an oversight in their expert analysis of Chicago Business, because we know Crain’s is “Not show business. All businessâ€

They pay her and the Congress and President will pay them

What this does not tell you, is that her job was new and created for Michelle Obama in the first place. That’s right this position did not exist until her husband got his Illinois State Senate seat. I’ll let you fill in the blanks.

She also misused her position when she was there. She bought 4700 shares of Tree Top Foods (@$47.53 per share), and had the deal addressed to her at the office at the University of Chicago Hospital. (Which is in direct violation to employment for UCH). By the way Tree Top Foods now has a big contract with UCH at supplying frozen foods.

Also, she bought this stock “incognitoâ€
