At the top right hand corner of Page 17 of the New YorkPost of January 24th, 2009, was a short column entitled "Replacing Michelle" in the National Review"The Week" column.
'Some employees are simply irreplaceable. Take MichelleObama: The University of Chicago Medical center hired her in2002 to run "programs for community relations,neighborhood outreach, volunteer recruitment, staffdiversity and minority contracting." In 2005 thehospital raised her salary from $120,000 to $317,000 -nearly twice what her husband made as a Senator. Oh! Did wemention that her husband had just become a US Senator? Hesure had! And he requested a $1 Million earmark for the UCMedical Center, in fact. Way to network Michelle!
But now that Mrs. Obama has resigned, the hospital says herposition will remain unfilled. How can that be, if the workshe did was vital enough to be worth $317,000?
We can think of only one explanation: Senator RolandBurris's wife wasn't interested.
