While I was digging around for additional earmarks, and some examples of the corruption that was brushed off during the campaign, and has now been placed into the White House, I found a little tidbit that didn’t make much news or was dismissed as a ‘distraction’.
It appears that in 2006, Obama requested an earmark of $1million for the University of Chicago Hospital. Guess who worked there? Michelle Obama was the Vice President of Community Affairs for the hospital.
Byron York noted that Michelle Obama made $121,910.00 in 2004 before her husband was elected to the US Senate. In 2005, after he won his election, she made $316,962.00.
My question is this: We have already seen a ‘change’ from Obama, how much more ‘change’ can we afford, especially with him and his cronies in charge of the House, the Senate, and the White House?
