Word of the day: Quid Pro Quo
I have been reading Culture of Corruption by Michelle Malkin. In fact a lot of people are reading it, since it has now been on the Best Seller list for 3 weeks. This is a carefully written, insight into the inner circle of the current president. Every carefully written page has corroborating information and references. Whoever voted for O, is probably into fiction. I am having great difficulty expressing my sadness that this type of person is representing, 'we the people'.
And please know that Michelle has been riding in First Class on the Gravy Train of Chicago politics.
(Chapter 2)
She has a very questionable (albeit lucrative) employment history. In 2002, Michelle Obama had a position created for her at the University of Chicago Medical Center. to run "programs for community relations, neighborhood outreach, volunteer recruitment, staff diversity and minority contracting". From beginning to end her salary went from $120,000. to $317,000. (2 times what O made as senator) Senator O requested $1 million be earmarked for the Medical Center. (Pillow Talk is one way to network). During her tenure there, the UCMC nearly lost its non-profit status. Now that she has resigned, her vital $317,ooo. position will remained unfilled. Well, at least until someone else comes along with 'quid pro quo' potential.
I just finished chapter 3, Joe Biden. It's a sad story... tragically he lost his wife early on, raised his boys alone for several years, but he has used his influence to his own benefit ever since. I always felt he was honest in his convictions. But nepotism and quid pro quo in his family runs deep and it's been paying off for most of his political life. He is one heck of a "Spin Doctor" even when as he is tripping over his own bionic tongue.
Is everyone in Washington just circling the corruption sink hole? I guess some are just better at it than others. More things that make you go Hmmmm.
