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.

Extremely damaging potentially to Obama, since it plays right into McCain’s strengths.

This should make for some good TV commercials. Assuming McCain is willing to use the issue.
I'm doubtful he will. He defended Obama on Hannity & Colmes tonight when Sean Hannity raised the issue of the Hardly Reverend Jeremiah Wright. McCain said he 'knows' Obama and is sure Obama doesn't believe any of the things Wright was ranting about. At that point I zoned out...I didn't think I could take hearing him tell Sean he'd be voting for Obama in November.

The wine-drinking white liberals driving around with Obama08 stickers on the back of their cars don’t care.
They just want to feel good about themselves by electing a minority candidate who talks well.

In addition, the hospital president who so conveniently gave Michelle Obama the 300% raise was a big Obama campaign contributor.

Who employed Chelsea Clinton as a hedge fund analyst at a six figure income and still employs her as she runs around the country campaigning for mama? What has Billy boy made as a middle man for the third world. When will the Clintons release their tax returns and the list of donors to Clinton Library and Massage Parlor. Lots of questions about them but we go on and on about small potatoes like this. Why has Hillary not released her earmarks? 200,000 for a Harvard educated lawyer is not way out there. The Clintons are far dirtier and dangerous than these two people.

Let’s not forget that while the University of Chicago was bribing Barry Hussein they were raising room, board and tuition for the common folk students to over $48,000 per year. Oh, the UoC expects you to mortgage your home and cash in your retirement to pay, unless you are on welfare, then they might give you some aid.

They're so unhappy that it wouldn't phase their agenda of world destruction.

Good grief.....will pass this info to a few Obama supporters I know....but, sadly, they will just go back to supporting Hitlery....
It’s the Dixie Mafia against the Chicago Mafis in this one...I am sorta hoping they degenerate into maybe the old fashioned kind of mafia behavior....against each other as rival “families”.....

You’d think, but this particular crooked Chicago politican is more than just a usual Machine thug, he’s a HUGE threat to this country - even the Right is giving him a pass because he’s NOT a Klinton.
