CGI Federal executive spent ‘Christmas with the Obamas’
Daily Caller ^ | 10/28/2013 | Patrick Howley

Posted on 10/28/2013 1:29:24 PM PDT by SJackson

Michelle Obama’s relationship with Princeton classmate Toni McCall Townes-Whitley, whose company earned the no-bid contract to design the disastrous Healthcare.Gov Obamacare website, continued after the Obamas moved into the White House.

Townes-Whitley and her husband even enjoyed “Christmas with the Obamas” at the White House in December 2010, according to a Facebook album created by Townes-Whitley.

Although neither Michelle Obama nor Townes-Whitley has discussed their relationship, the Christmas event took place just seven months after Townes-Whitley joined CGI Federal as a senior vice president.

Townes-Whitley, Princeton class of ’85, leads CGI Federal’s Civilian Agency Programs (CAP) Business Unit, which earned the no-bid contract to build the Obamacare enrollment website Healthcare.gov. CGI Federal is the U.S. arm of a Canadian company.

The Department of Health and Human Services reviewed only CGI’s bid for the Obamacare account. CGI was one of 16 companies qualified under the Bush administration to provide certain tech services to the federal government. A senior vice president for the company testified last week before The House Committee on Energy and Commerce that four companies submitted bids, but did not name those companies or explain why only CGI’s bid was considered.

Townes-Whitley, who went by her maiden name Toni McCall at the time, and her classmate Michelle Obama, née Michelle LaVaughn Robinson, are both members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni, and worked together in two different radical student groups on campus.

CGI Federal is a crony capitalism company that, from what I can tell, does nothing but government contracts.

Here is a job listing I saw on my computer the other day for a position in Nashville. Note it’s work for government “inspecting” public housing.

Best friends from college. Rumor is VJ’s daughter might also somehow be in on this, too.

Just curious.

Does Princeton have an Association of White Princeton Alumni?

“Christmas with the Obamas”. Can’t think of anything more sacrilegious.

A “good liberal” would tell you that all the rest of Princeton Alumni were the Association of White Princeton Alumni.

But for some reason, the can’t see that with one mountain having a cross on it that all the other mountains are atheist mountains.

Yes, I think someone posted last week about a rumor that VJ’s daughter and son-in-law are both employees of CGI, as well. I don’t know if this was verified.

Yet another major FAIL from black-run, banana-republic America. How unsurprising.

These are the fruits of affirmative action and diversity-at-all-costs.

four companies submitted bids, but did not name those companies or explain why only CGI’s bid was considered.

Hmm. I'm thinking it's time for reps from the other three companies to start talking. Loudly.

An obvious sweetheart deal like this in a Republican administration would have the media screaming for blood, and Congress calling hearings instantly.

Her FIL was instrumental in awarding contracts from Toronto to CGI, which they failed at.

I've read the daughter worked at CGI, but only one questionable source for that. Clinton's know them too, $$$ after all. Note the promoting website.

Remember the liberals complaints about Haliburton getting “no bid” contracts for work they had already been vetted for from Bush crony Cheny? But this disaster is spun as nothing to see here, move along. Media is complicit in alowing liberals to steal.

See post 17. There are blogs saying that, but nothing definite. And I’d think it would be easy to confirm. Probably misreporting her father in law.
