$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!!!!!!


There have been more investigations done on this subject than any other
since Pelosi took over and not once did anything criminal or out of
order really show up. It's just a farce perpetrated by the MSM and the
DNC... Something like 240 something investigations, all of them wasted
money...

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

I can only assume it is just another example of hospitals overcharging
patients so they will have huge quantities of cash to squander in
foolish ways......



$300,000 isn't a lot in a major city for someone working as a "rainmaker."

Lu lives in a part of Florida that until recently paid teachers with
master's degrees $28,000 a year, and where a very special bit of
corruption between the local cops and infrastructure contractors has
"off duty" cops snoozing in the local government's patrol cars at the
sites "protecting" highway construction sites.

too.
And China... can you say "How much to sleep in the Rincoln bedroom?"
It is no accident that WalMart doubled it's market share in the 90s.
They are from Bentonville Arkansas, a suburb of Little Rock.

Aren't republicans FOR free trade? Or is that with certain qualifiers?


I don't have a problem with free trade,
The real question was if this was "fair" trade.
We pile environmental, labor and safety laws on our corporations (not
a bad idea) without imposing those on the competition (the bad part),
then wonder why they kick our ass.


Ah, so then it's not free trade if we put a bunch of restrictions on it,
not is it? If the cost of environmental and safety laws make us
non-competitive in a certain sector, it's time to re-invent.

BTW this trend still continues. All of the upcoming "carbon" and
existing CFC protocols that favor countries like China and Mexico who
are largely exempt.


So? First of all that's the personification of "free trade". I take it
you really don't want free trade at all, you just don't want anyone in
the U.S. bound by any rules. Tell me, what ARE Mexico and China's
environmental, safety and labor laws anyway? Don't say they are
non-existent because that's not true.

Do you have a problem with the unions getting "busted" because all
the jobs are in China now?


Nope.
