Since his wife got a $200,000 pay increase and does no work, does that mean he'll sell the office?

Question

hey she got 200,000 for no work but him being elected to congress, I think they need to raise it to a million if he gets the presidency.

See, that’s why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service, working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities.”

But she omitted the fact that she later went on to a high-paying job at the University of Chicago Medical Center, where she worked in community and external affairs. In March 2005, she was promoted to vice president for community and external affairs, and her salary jumped from $121,910 to $316,962, which included a one-time bonus. In 2006, her salary was $273,618.

Answer 1

To me, the interesting point to any questionable behavior in Obama's past is the fact that the media has totally ignored it.  They have not done any "investigative" reporting on Obama at all.  Nothing from his Chicago days and the stories around Ayers and others has been treated with the importance it should.

Rev Wright was a known commodity by the mainstream media for a long time before the Iowa primaries.  Makes me wonder if Hillary would have won if they broke the story before Iowa.

Could you imagine what they press would have been like if it was McCain or Palin that had the questionable past?

It will not be an issue to the American people  because the majority of the mainstream media will "choose" not to make it news.

Answer 2

He's looking for the same deal,,,,,,with fat offshore bank accounts at the end of the rainbow!

Answer 3

Obama is just like every other lying, scheming, power-grubbing politician, and the only change he would bring to the White House is his skin color.  Big freaking deal.

Answer 4

In fact, politicians are selling themselves. The matter is ,who in the major,will buy it.

Answer 5

You bet it does.  He'll simply follow what Biden has done.  This is the "CHANGE" that they promise.  hahahaha!  It should be "CHANGE (that we plan on cashing in on)"

Excerpts from article in link:

Business dealings of Biden family could be problematic for him

Sen. Joe Biden fields questions as his son Hunter Biden looks on at a campaign stop in December, 2007, prior to the elder Biden's dropping out of the race for the Democratic nomination.

His brother and sons have close ties to a law firm that has benefited from the senator's congressional votes.

Answer 6

i guess that's one way to look at it.  hardly significant when you consider where mcShame's money comes from.  but, you probably don't know where mcShame's money comes from do you?

Answer 7

Yes, but only to reletives & friends.

Answer 8

If you dig further, you will find that the hospital she works for charges uninsured patients, 3 times as much for services as insured patients. You may wonder why-that is because the government will provide  funds for uninsured patients (your tax dollars at work), and they will get to take a bigger chunk off their taxes. Dont anyone be fooled by obama's so called health care plan-it will never happen. And the hospitals like the one his wife works for fleece the american tax payers with her approval.

Answer 9

"The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice." Earmarks can actually help a community that needs help (a hospital is not a bridge to nowhere). I know it is hard for you to conceive of, but being a senator can be a career in public service. So can being president. It's true that McCain has done nothing for his state, but he did marry a millionairess who bought his way into national politics.

Answer 10

BO is as pure as a Chicago sewer.

Answer 11

Obama has spent $97 million on earmarks for his community. McCain has spent $0!
