how can she do that we didn’t elect her.
HER own personal money, I assume.
Otherwise, by what authority can a “1st lady” “release” $851 million to her cohorts, friends and cronies?
Wow, she’s generous and compassionate!
Dictators raping the American taxpayers to promote their pet causes. These turds are way over the top.
Was she wearing her $400 tennis shoes?
why the frack is she announcing any frakking thing?
“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.
Can Midnight Basketball be far behind?
If it really was ONLY for AMERICANS I might swallow the pill a little easier.

The BELT is back
I don’t understand why she is CONSTANTLY wearing her belts like that? She looks like a jackass.
Other than the recently unemployed Dr. Conrad Murray, who is available to staff these clinics seeing millions more Americans?
Funny how she was paid so handsomely for helping to keep the rabble out of her hospital in Chicago...
Maybe her twin, Patrick Ewing, is paying for it.
