Barack Obama has solemnly campaigned as a reformer for health care for everyone, and ending all prejudice against those with pre-existing conditions.
But few Americans realize the blatant hypocricy that he and his wife have displayed toward indigent individuals who have demonstrated the most need.
Mrs. Obama worked for the University of Chicago Hospital as a "community outreach director". Her job was to steer uninsured poor people away from the hospital's emergency room, and literally dump them on neighboring medical facilities. In street parlance, she basically was the hospital bouncer, so that only affluent, well-insured patients were admitted.
At 5' 11", Michelle Obama is no shrinking violet. She quickly developed her expertise at "patient re-location", and was rewarded by the hospital for her valiant efforts.
In March 2005, Michelle Obama was promoted to "vice president for external affairs", and had her annual salary tripled from $121,910 to $316,962. But by the most remote of coincidences, this was just 2 months after her husband had been sworn in as a U.S Senator (Jan "05)
In his steadfast duty to God and country, one of Barack's first accomplishments in the U.S. Senate was a government grant...out of the 8 million dollar list of new earmarks he requested, $1 million would go for the construction of a new hospital pavilion at the University of Chicago Med Center.
The hospital was greatly relieved...and had definitely been in dire need of a pavilion for its vital operations, and may have been in danger of closing down without it.
There is no end to the dedication of the Obamas to their community and country. Yessir...once you have community service in your blood, there's no turning back.
