1 20 years ago, even Obama admitted that "community organizing" was a joke.

3 Recall how sanctimonious Michele was about BO's opting to "give back to the community" rather than take a real job. One wonders if bucks were funneled back to the Chicago Outfit's Syrian connection Antonin "Tony" Resko.

4 Recall how sanctimonious Michele was about BO's opting to "give back to the community"

I guess that didn't include her $195,000 pay raise when Barack made Senator. Wonder how many indigent patients the hospital had to dump on the streets to pay this "Community Outreach" Coordinator.

5 Good point ed -- her salary would pay for 20 childbirths, or 400 abortions annually.

6 That was just the annual raise. Her salary went to $317,000/year when Barack was elected. Bribery by another name.

7 I have been wondering, what exactly is michelle's background when it comes to why she should be in a postition to influence the operation of a hospital? Oh, she is a lawyer...so she don't know jack squat about about Hippocrates but can she locate her dorsal appendage?

8 And ed, Didn't the hospital then get millions in earmarks via Obama the next year?

DAMN good investment if you ask me....

9 No. Got shot down by the Senate. Perhaps Obama voted "present".
Obama's Earmarks: $1 Million for Wife's Hospital
The request for $1 million for the University of Chicago Medical Center was to help pay for construction of a new pavilion.
...
In any case, the 2006 request for the hospital was not approved by the Senate, as was about $7 out of every $10 the Illinois senator asked for in earmarks.
