Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is executive at company that built Obamacare web

Re: Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is executive at company that built Obamacare

Nobody is "making believe" anything. Regardless of anything that's been posted, we don't know if they personally knew each other. I was a member of a few student associations in college, and I certainly didn't know everybody in them. The conservatives on this thread are acting as if the fact that they graduated together is proof positive that this was a cronyist sweetheart deal, and the evidence of that is scant.

Michelle Obama from First Ladies Bios:

Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey, 1981-1985, bachelor’s degree in Sociology, with a minor degree in African-American Studies. She worked with both the Third World Center and belonged to the Organization of Black Unity, an African-American student group.

Toni Townes-Whitley from LinkedIn:

Princeton University
Bachelor of Arts, Economics & Public Policy
1981 – 1985 Frederick Douglas Award, Woodrow Wilson School Honors, Director “The Wiz”, Initiator – Swahili Foreign Language Course
Activities and Societies: Woodrow Wilson School, Third World Center, Princeton Gospel Ensemble, Alliance of Third World Women, Organization of Black Unity

You think the Organization of Black Unity and the Alliance of Third World Women at Princeton had to hold their meetings in the Meadowlands arena ?

Are you familiar with the concept of circumstantial evidence?

This is the Princeton Third World Center: http://etcweb.princeton.edu/CampusWWW/Companion/third_world_center.html

The Organization for Black Unity appears to be just the black student union, but it's hard to find information on it in a google search since the right-wing smear merchant scum have about five pages of baseless smears.

Why do you expect me to be bold when you are not bold enough to actually document your claim.

Did you know bubbabgone is really a muslim plant with plans to blow up the outhouse behind the RE Lee museum? I have offered as much evidence to back that up as he has to back up his claim.

Heh heh ... transparent ... no courage

Both members of the same small organizations in the same University at the same time and you cling to a fantasy. You're not looking good there, Jeff.
But really ...
To me the irony here is that the political kickback from the millions of dollars of the contract is what matters ... I don't really care about Michelle's radical background or friends regarding these crony contracts ...I'm just laughing at the denial contortions the Left feels they have to put themselves through on it.

Whatever it was/is, the fact remains that we have a very expensive problem to fix...and that doesn't include the millions already spent for an unworkable system. It's only money...and cronyism is not unheard of on both sides of the aisle.

Re: Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is executive at company that built Obamacare

Refute THIS ...

More CON games... try a fact and not a partisan bit of hackery... :roll:

FACT, Mrs. Obama didn't run CGI, didn't work at CGI, went to school with lots of people who just might end up working someplace big and important. The private sector and 'enterprise' systems don't roll out well and most IT contract companies have a 'poor' track record if a partisan hack wants to see it as that.

Now go back and play on the partisan blog sites... you are clueless about major IT projects... :2wave:
 
Re: Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is executive at company that built Obamacare

Doesn't matter CGI was awarded major gov't contracts yeeeeeeeeears before either the Toni lady walked in or Michelle was First Lady

What matters to kooky cons:

1. Uppity women
2. Black
3. Some sort of connection

= RAGE.

Yes, CGI Central had been awarded other contracts over the years, including during the Bush Administration. But here is what may be different: The ordinary protocol may not have been followed. As I am sure you are already aware, the federal government publishes its RFPs at what was once known as the publication Commerce Business Daily but is now entirely electronic. Check this for yourself (and maybe wonder why I know the URL without looking it up): http://www.fedbizopps.gov

The accusation is that CGI didn't have to bid, that there wasn't a standard and competitive bidding process. Was CGI a "sole-source" contract? Was it given a no-bid contract? If so, why?

As for your silly comments about "uppity women," I am an "uppity woman," LOL. I am not black but am very familiar with on-campus black organizations and had friends in my day who were the founders of similar orgs at other universities. If you don't think that active members of these groups don't know each other, think again.

I don't really care if Michelle Obama and Toni Townes-Whitley were besties in college, and I'm not naive: "Sweetheart" deals happen all the time. What I do care about is whether the protocols were followed, or whether CGI had no competition. And you should care too because what anybody reasonable would expect as timelines and readiness benchmarks should have been in any proposal submitted.

Were there any? Why wasn't any testing done until weeks before the scheduled launch? Who were the principal investigators? Why did this colossal failure happen?
 
Re: Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is executive at company that built Obamacare

I just did. He knows how to outsmart you guys. Speaking of changing the subject, any evidence yet that Michelle Obama knew this woman? That they where friends? Anything at all about this story? Maybe they watched the same TV show one day...
Not so certain about the "you guys" business. Doesn't take much to outsmart the GOP. I haven't seen evidence that Michelle knew or didn't know this woman. On the surface, it looks a little fishy.
 
Re: Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is executive at company that built Obamacare

The same people who are attacking Michelle Obama are the same people who defended Cheney.

The same people who attacked Cheney are the same people defending Michelle.

Let's just all agree it doesn't matter who they know or what goes on as long as they are on your side. :yes:
 
Re: Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is executive at company that built Obamacare

The simplest proof, they are both completely incompetent fools. such was bound to be friends.

What's imcompetent about Ms. Obama? She not only had a very successful legal career, but is no First Lady.

Oh I get it, she's a black female so of course to a conservative she's incompetent.
