Has Michelle Obama forgotten where she comes from?

Quote:

More contentious still was Michelle's appointment as the £150,000-a-year vice-president of external affairs at the University of Chicago hospital in 2005.

It came only two months after Barack was sworn in as a U.S. senator, and was attacked by critics as a blatant attempt, critics claim, by the hospital's hierarchy to curry favour with her husband, in an era when some politicians want to rein in the vast profits of America's medical system.

They questioned why the wife of a committed Democrat would work for a hospital that has been accused of ruthless greed.

Michelle's image was further tarnished in May 2006, when it was revealed that the centre - despite earning some £50million a year - had refused to treat a man who could not afford to pay his bill. He died.

Apparently someone would prefer to post innuendo instead of facts.

Michelle Obama started working for the University of Chicago Hospital before her husband was elected or even decided to run for the Senate. She
was the executive director of community affairs prior to being given the title of "vice president of community and external affairs." She worked for the hospital in 2002 and prior to that worked for the University itself as an associate dean of Student services. The jump from "executive director" to "vice president" is hardly a large jump. It could almost be considered nothing more than a title change.

To claim somehow Michelle Obama has forgotten where she came from is quite silly.

Don't forget irrelevant. Is the first lady required to champion the poor? Have any ever done that? Why should we care who Mrs. Obama or Mrs. McCain champions?

Perhaps, some women make very good choices of men to husband.

Yes, she got a promotion and a title change but the article fails to mention that. She was already working at the hospital and had been for 3 years. And you don't seem to care about accuracy any more than the rag you got your article from.
