Exec at HealthCare.gov contractor went to school with first lady, donated to Obama campaign

As the problems pile up for HealthCare.gov, attention is now turning to the relationship between the Canadian company largely responsible for the website and the Obama administration.

Top officials at CGI Federal, a lead contractor tasked with developing the site, have a three-decade link to the Obamas. Toni Townes-Whitley, a senior vice president at CGI Federal, is also a Princeton University classmate of first lady Michelle Obama -- and a political donor.

Mike Caddell, a spokesman for Princeton University, confirmed to FoxNews.com that Townes-Whitley went to the school and graduated in 1985. According to a Princeton alumni publication in 1998, Townes-Whitley also volunteered for the Peace Corps and was stationed in West Africa. She raised six children before returning to work.

Both Townes-Whitley and Michelle Obama are members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni.

According to Federal Election Commission Records, Townes-Whitley gave $500 in 2011 and 2012 to Obama's reelection campaign, and another $1,000 to the Obama Victory Fund.

Election records also show that Townes-Whitley's boss, George Schindler, the president for U.S. and Canada for CGI Federal's parent company CGI Group, became an Obama 2012 campaign donor after his company won the ObamaCare contract.

But according to OpenSecrets.org, which tracks campaign donations, CGI Group was fairly even-handed when doling out political contributions.

Time to appoint a Special Prosecutor for the failed Mandatory Insurance Tax Law called “Obamacare.”

It appears zero and cronies never intended success.

Zerocare is a moneymaking/laundering scheme for dims. It’s the only thing that makes sense.

Oh, and the fall guys will be thrown under the obamabus on a daily basis. Currently it’s the insurance companies who are at fault for causing obama’s promise to be a lie.

ObamaCare is turning out to be a bigger scam than “global warming” was.

I read about this 2 weeks ago. I figured it was BS because no “reliable” media picked it up.

We are living in an empire of lies.

Why should we be surprised that we are lied to by this character in the WH whose questionable and nebulous background no politician nor honest reporter dares to investigate?

We can all expect more lies and more empty promises to come from this administration and more acceptance of them by the average American.

And the nice thing is we get to watch their collision with reality.
