NYT Tonguebath of Mrs. O.

"The New York Times runs a comically biased "article" about Michelle
Obama's all-around wonderfulness, but if you make it to the third page
carefully, you'll find out a few things:

By 2001, Mrs. Obama, married for nine years and the mother of two
daughters, had taken a job as vice president of community affairs at the
University of Chicago Medical Center. She soon discovered just how
acrimonious those affairs were.

Hospital brass had gathered to break ground for a childrens wing
when African-American protesters broke in with bullhorns, drowning out the
proceedings with demands that the hospital award more contracts to minority
firms.

The executives froze. Mrs. Obama strolled over and offered to meet
later, if only the protestors would pipe down. She revised the contracting
system, sending so much business to firms owned by women and other
minorities that the hospital won awards.

Which awards? Diversity Racket Victim of the Year? How many of these
non-lowest bid contracts went to potential political allies of her
husband? The Obamas were using other people's money to build their power
base.

She also altered the hospitals research agenda. When the human
papillomavirus vaccine, which can prevent cervical cancer, became
available, researchers proposed approaching local school principals about
enlisting black teenage girls as research subjects.

Mrs. Obama stopped that. The prospect of white doctors performing a
trial with black teenage girls summoned the specter of the Tuskegee
syphilis experiment of the mid-20th century, when white doctors let
hundreds of black men go untreated to study the disease.

So, rather than educate blacks about why they should help with a medical
study that had the potential to help all of humanity, Mrs. Obama, who has
zero qualification in any scientific field, stopped medical research from
taking place. Swell ...

A reader writes:

"Wasn't organizing bullhorn-wielding protestors part of Barack Obama's
job description as an ACORN-Alinskyite "organizer"? Heck, she might of
known the protestors from cocktails at the Ayers'..."

The Obamas' allies protest, and in return the Obamas get paid to give them
other people's money to get them to go away. It's a perpetual motion
machine. Nice work if you can get it.

Speaking of the Ayers couple, why does the hubby get all the publicity?
Sexism? After all, the wife, Bernardine Dohrn, told 400 people at a
Weatherman convention in 1969, in reference to the Manson Family murders
of Sharon Tate and others:

"Dig it! First they killed those pigs and then they put a fork in
their bellies. Wild!"
