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. So 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. Requested a $1 million
earmark for the UC Medical Center, in fact. Way
to network Michelle!

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

Let me add that Michelle's
position was a part time, 20 hour a week job.. And
to think they were critical
of Blagoyovich' s wife for taking $100,000 in
fuzzy real estate
commission.

My thoughts: How did this
bit of quid pro quo corruption escape the sharp
reporters that dug through
Sarah Palin's garbage and kindergarten files?
Unbelievable!

Q: Did Michelle Obama make $317,000 a year while working part-time at the University of Chicago Medical Center?

A: This allegation in a chain e-mail is wrong: Obama's reported income was $103,633 in 2007, the year she reduced her work schedule to part time.

Check your facts, Mikey.
