Irreplaceable...Michelle.........from Rico

Michelle's Replacement
Replacing Michelle in Chicago

At the top right hand corner of Page 17 of the New York Post of January 24th, 2009, was a short column entitled "Replacing Michelle" in the National Review "The Week" column. Here it is, word for word, as it appeared:

Some employees are simply irreplaceable. Take Michelle Obama:
The University of Chicago Medical center hired her in 2002 to run "programs for
community relations, neighborhood outreach, volunteer recruitment, staff
diversity and minority contracting".

In 2005, the hospital raised her salary from $120,000 to $317, 000 nearly
twice what her husband made as a Senator.

Oh, did we mention that her husband had just become a US Senator? He sure
had. And that he immediately requested a $1 million earmark for the UC
Medical Center, in fact?... You betcha by golly.. He surely did. Way to
network Michelle!

But now that Mrs. Obama has resigned, the hospital says her position will
remain unfilled. How can that possibly be??? Especially if the work she did
was vital enough to be worth $317,000?

Oh, by the way, let me add that Michelle's position was a part time, 20
hour week job at $317,000.00 per year !! . And to think they were critical
of Blagoyovich's wife for taking $100,000 in fuzzy real estate commission.

Question is how this bit of quid pro quo corruption escaped the sharp
reporters that dug through Sarah Palin's garbage and kindergarten files?
