HER own personal money, I assume.

Otherwise, by what authority can a “1st lady” “release” $851 million to her cohorts, friends and cronies?

“The money was made available by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act”

For some reason, that line just kills me...its like the pile of paperwork generated the money.

Woman never built or did anything worthwhile in her damn life. She got where she is by her skin tone.

A sign of things to come under socialized medicine...the government (and their ugly relatives) deciding which health centers should survive and which shouldn’t.

You know what, if any city, anywhere, should be a shining city on a hill because of federal spending, it should be the District of Columbia. Instead, it is a festering swamp of crime, abortions, sloth and thousands of home grown punks.

Nothing will help DC...except its own people. But that will not happen, because they believe with all their hearts, that someone owes them something.

That is why our nation’s capital will be forever a large stain on our national character.

increase access to health care for millions of Americans

Other than the recently unemployed Dr. Conrad Murray, who is available to staff these clinics seeing millions more Americans?

Isn’t it?! Wonder odds that the state-run media will include that in background for this “touching” story :(

Maybe her twin, Patrick Ewing, is paying for it.
