Michelle's Princeton Pal
Oct 25, The Daily Caller ran an article about Michelle Obama's Princeton classmate Toni Townes-Whitley. Whitley is senior VP for CGI Federal, the company which developed the failed Healthcare.gov website. The contract worth $678 million was awarded without any competetive bidding.
Giving a contract to a friend would raise eyebrows. Giving a contract to a friend without any competitive bidding is blatant corruption. Giving a contract worth nearly $700M to a friend without any competitive bidding is probably the biggest scandal in US history.

Why Would Obama Want People to Keep Their Old Plans?
And when you factor in how practically every other promise made by our president regarding the ACA has turned out to be false, it becomes clear that this wasn’t just a case of painful ignorance or gross incompetence. There was a willful intent (similar to what we saw with the Benghazi attack and YouTube video scapegoat) by the administration to lie to the country.

There will be NO Retreat.
Impeach Obama in December, 2014!
