The Virginian: Phil Hamilton pulls an Obama

The Virginian: Phil Hamilton pulls an Obama

After Barack Obama became an Illinois state legislator, his wife moved up as well, scoring a job as 'vice president of community relations' at the University Of Chicago Hospital for a very generous salary of $121,910. When Obama became a senator in 2005, her 'salary' leapfrogged to $$316,962 for the same job...and one of Senator Obama's first acts in office was to see to it that the hospital received over a million dollars of your tax dollars as an earmark.

Well, Michelle has moved on,and guess what...that vital job of hers,worth a salary of over $300 K has been quietly eliminated.

It's the Chicago Way, cushy no-show jobs in exchange for political patronage...fist bump.



Here's the lovely lady with the "toned arms" now:

Phil Hamilton came a lot cheaper than Michelle and took the job himself. His wife must have wanted to stay at home. Oh wait, Michelle didn’t come in to work at her “no-show” job either. Hamilton needs to study up on how the big boys and girls do it.



It's good to have this sort of thing exposed. If you are a legislator who needs some extra money and can get it by steering the public's money to people who will pay, it's called by its proper name: corruption. Of course it helps if the newspapers turn a blind eye to your pay for play schemes. But for that you have to have a "D" after your name.

I wonder if Phil Hamilton came to work?
