"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.

Don't be an...... Clinton used Haliburton in the Balkans too, for
the same reason.. Nobody else does what they do! Period...
That wasn't a "no bid" contract.
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!!!!!!

Former President Clinton had a pretty sweet consulting deal with Dubai
too. I see little difference between the Bushes and the Clintons.

Shhhhhhh... You are not supposed to mention that!
