"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!

Using your previous analogy, how many criminal charges were filed?

About the same number that have been filed against Halliburton and/or
Cheney...
