At the top right hand corner of page 17 of the New York Post, January24, 2009, was a column entitled, "Replacing Michelle" in the National Review, The Week. Here it is below 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 US Senator. He sure had. He requested a $1 million earmark for the UC Medical Center, in fact. 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 hour a week job." My thoughts: How did this bit of quid pro quo 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. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program. Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose your job. Recovery is when Obama loses his.

I am with you. If that is true it is criminal and should be prosecuted. IF it is true. Actually the $120k was criminal, the $317k is obscene. Is it really true?

I don't know if it is true or not but this is not the first time I have heard of this.

My first inclination was that this can't be true... I checked Snopes and came up empty. I have my doubts, but I sure can't refute it.

I read it a couple of years ago, the MSM/journolist gang just ignored this like it didn't exist. Had Laura Bush done that it would have been front page news for months.

Thanks Murph! I was guessing it to be a gross twist of the truth. I always forget about that site.. snopes is my usual go to for stuff like that.

Yea, a couple of hundred thousand for a position like that is very reasonalbe, a few not criminal, if she really did work. Oh well, call off the hounds.
