Remember the liberals complaints about Haliburton getting “no bid” contracts for work they had already been vetted for from Bush crony Cheny?

Been a while, but I believe those were 10 year stand by contracts entered into by the Clinton administration in 1998.

The smarmy connection with Jarret’s daughter to the computer scandal is convoluted, but here is one explanation:

Note David Axelrod and others are mentioned too.

I wonder who is getting kickbacks in this no-bid, open-ended, $1B deal?

For anyone who has never bid on a govt contract it's important to understand that price is but one metric they evaluate for. This is generally a good thing; e.g. it provides a framework for establishing that a variety of contracting standards are achieved. We know the lowest bidder is not always the most competent or desirable provider.

However, and this the relevant component here, I think, the bidding process can also be abused by those in power who determine the parameters and are so inclined to reward their friends. In these scenarios it's often instructive to follow the money and carefully trace relationships among formal and ideological guilds.

Thoroughly investigating precisely why this contract was awarded to CGI Federal is vital and ought to be part of the hearings. It looks really unsavory on its face, that's for damn sure.

I think that once you are awarded a contract, you should never be allowed to go over budget

I guess they went to the White House to personally pick up their check for $600 million. I wouldn’t want to trust a check in the mail for that amount either.

Me thinks a lot of the money spent on CGI is now in a checking/saving account under the name of Barak Hussein
Obama.

Two comments: 1.) I didn’t know the Obamas celebrated Christmas. 2.) Looking at the photo just oozes affirmative action. Each and everyone of them needed special treatment to get where they are.
