Change we can belive in. Yup.

Received this via email. Its on the internet so it has to be true. Right?

Thought provoking or not?

The top right hand corner of Page 17 of the New York Post of January 24th, 2009, was ashort 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 two 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 relation, 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.

writing in the Magazine's Feb 9 issue.'


So there you have it. We can all draw our own conclusions.

She got that do-nothing job in the first place from Chicago Pay-To-Play Taxpayer-paid Graft.

Some say she is on a "paid leave",
like some companies do for their military reservist employees. It could be THIS is the reason her job has not been filled...they can't afford to pay for 2 do nothing jobs?
