One of Obama's Earmarks Went to Hospital That Employs Michelle Obama. In the list of earmarks he requested, $1 Million was requested for the construction of a new hospital pavilion at the University Of Chicago. You know who works for the University of Chicago Hospital? Michelle Obama. She's vice president of community affairs. As Byron noted, "In 2006, the Chicago Tribune reported that Mrs. Obamas compensation at the University of Chicago Hospital, where she is a vice president for community affairs, jumped from $121,910 in 2004, just before her husband was elected to the Senate, to $316,962 in 2005, just after he took office." Looks like that raise was worth it.

If this turns out to be as direct as it first appears, it might be just the beginning of problems that can be uncovered.
I will enjoy watching and waiting for more information.

Ok. Let’s hear the logical, smooth, professional Mr. BHO
explain his wife’s $200K, nearly 300% single year raise.

McCain isn’t willing to use anything. If some outside group started to run adds on this he would admonish them.

What did Mrs Obama do to merit a raise in that amount? Doesn't anyone question that? That raise does not pass the sniff test and I live in FL! Of course this is only scratching the surface as far as the abuse of power and position by the 538 chosen ones in our Congress. I'll bet that Traitor Murtha makes Michelle look like a piker. Why can't we say it is time that we clean house, send them all home, have none of their legislation for legislation's sake for two years and then start anew. We may find, during the two years, that they are not needed at all.

Sure he would. Obama’s not the nominee yet. McCain’s being smart and keeping his powder dry for the moment.
