More than just a few of us are confused over how the feds let these contracts.

We thought everything had to be bid on. Just like all those helicopters we are buying from Russia to give to the Afghans when we have our own helicopter companies that could give them much better choppers.

Of course, I don’t think we have any business giving them choppers in the first place, but this is crazy. We can’t keep our Air Force flying…something like 17 squadrons, yet we can afford to buy helicopters from Russia to give away.

Could BO be more obvious? He is doing a damned good job of ruining us and we know that is his purpose.

Same Canadian company also given contract to distribute Sandy relief fund, poorly done

Public contracts are supposed to be bid on competitively with notice requirements etc except in emergencies or exigent circumstances

And even then you don’t necessarily take the lowest bid. The lowest bid say for a space shuttle might not be a smart move. You take the lowest responsive responsible bid. But since the obamas are taking care of their buds, this didn’t happen

[Dilbert San Diego]

The liberals used to complain about no bid contracts given to Halliburton. The whole Dick Cheney/Halliburton angle offended their sensibilities.

Will the liberals be offended and call for someone’s head over this no bid contract situation????

[ilovesarah2012]

Remember when the liberals freaked out over Halliburton? Not a peep about this.

[Venturer]

Everything done by Obama since his first day in office has been African-Engineered.

You have to ask why it doesn’t work??

[Signalman]

Fed govt. contracts are supposed to be open-bid unless it is an emergency situation or if the product or service is so unique that only one company is capable of fulfilling the contract. This one in question does not pass the smell test.

Crony-ridden CGI Federal---another of Ohaha's cockamamie wealth-redistribution scams. The Canadian company got a billion tax dollars to build the abominable Obamacare web site.

===========================================

Taxpayers demand the mobilization of the Bank Secrecy Act---in which banks are required to establish, implement and maintaprograms designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of govt fraud, money laundering and other financial crimes. The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, govt fraud, terrorism, tax evasion, or other unlawful activities.

===========================================

Toni Townes-Whitley, Senior Vice President at "CGI Federal" for Civilian Agency programs, is Princeton Class of 1985---same dumbed-down class as Michelle Obama. Both are members of Association of Black Princeton Alumni.

=================================================

NOTE CGI, the designer of the Obamacare website and computer system, is the parent company of Stanley, Inc. At the latter two employees, along with an employee of Analyst Corp, were investigated WRT State Dept passport breaches involving passports of Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Barack Obama.

THIS JUST IN News broke last night that Valerie Jarrett’s daughter, Laura works for CGI Federal (she's wedded to Canadian native Tony Balkisoon), whose dad is a Canadian MP).

Laura Jarret and hubby. More on Balkisoon's dad below.

Not to take the thread off topic, but I got a chuckle out of this passage in the pictured newspaper clipping:

"Marable said there are many reasons not to vote for Mondale, one of them being that 'he has the personality and moral fortitude of a wet clam.'"

"Just like all those helicopters we are buying from Russia to give to the Afghans when we have our own helicopter companies that could give them much better choppers."

U.S. helicopters are better performing helicopters than Russian. However, U.S. helicopters are much more difficult to maintain than Russian helicopters, and are beyond the capability of most third world maintenance shops and maintenance personnel.

INTELLECTUAL VACUITY AT ITS BEST also known as "PAY--ME--I'M--A--VICTIM" Michelle Obama's thesis about her “blackness.” Here is a quote courtesy of Politico: “My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my ‘blackness’ than ever before,” the future Mrs. Obama wrote in her thesis introduction.

“I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong. Regardless of the circumstances under which I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second.”

What we do know is that this would seem to fit with Michelle’s hatred for anyone who is not black and not socialist. I wonder if she hates Barry’s white side.

She should look in the mirror. She's got some of that creepy azzed cracker blood in her, too.

[marron]

I’m not sure it means anything, but we shouldn’t forget that about the time her friend went to work for CGI, about the time they received the no-bid contract, they bought Stanley for a billion dollars.

Stanley is the company that saw the passport files.

And with a billion here, a billion there, lots of money sloshing around.

[Mister Da]

I'd like to know when this woman became an executive at CGI. I'm willing to bet it was during the Obama administration.
