One of Obama's earmarks
Barack Obama requested and received an earmark for the hospital at the University Of Chicago. The NRO points out something strange about that:
You know who works for the University of Chicago Hospital?Is this change, because this is an example of the same antics we've seen from Democrats and Republicans for years.Michelle Obama. She's vice president of community affairs.
As Byron noted, "In 2006, the Chicago Tribune reported that Mrs. Obama’s 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."
Comments
Yep. To a corrupt Senator - regardless of race or party - $361,962 is just small change. But as we all know, Obama is all for change!

I hate to be personal but have you ever noticed the size of his ears? I hope that doesn't have any effect on how big of an earmark he is able to procure for his district if it does they ain't nothing left for the rest of them what want earmarks.
And this thing about change ...him and Sonny,Johnny,Scott,Jason and BJ just to name a few know all about change...that's all they have left me from my pension which by the way none of the aforementioned public servants have gone to Delta and made them increase my pension...all I can say is they better make them give me more if they want to continue stealing from me cause this goose is almost out of eggs.
And that is THE WAY I SEE IT

btw Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely and people will treat you how ever you allow them to treat you.....We have allowed the government to treat us all as THEIR servant and you notice I didn't say IT because the government is people not an IT and I for one believe we need not to change our form of government we need to change those who are IN government.
