Michelle Obama resigns old job...no one fills the position

U. Chicago ^

The U. of Chicago just doesn’t have anyone they need to patronize with a no-show job right now.

I’m sure the position will be filled when they find another sufficiently well placed politician or other benefactor to impress with their largesse.

No...he requested a million dollar earmark to her employer, the U. of Chicago Hospital. She already had the job t the time.

It was featherbedding from the start. Probably she knew all along it was a phony position — but I wonder if maybe she thought she actually was worth that much money.......

That only means the job she was doing was not needed...

But was so important that her salary was doubled to $300K after Sen. Obama got a big earmark for the hospital...
