Michelle is a sanctimonious human being.  She is the acme of liberalism.  If she were a white male, she'd be banned from our polite (liberal) society as a bigot, due to her racial polarizing views.</description>

		<description>Slightly off-topic, but speaking of Obama David, did you see that &lt;a href="http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/message/index.php?id=225" rel="nofollow"&gt;Michael Moore endorsed him&lt;/a&gt; yesterday?

Makes sense given their mutual love for government run health care.

Sheesh.</description>

		<description>'It’s been my experience that there is no correlation between a hospital's financial position and the salary paid to it’s executives.'

Rich, the evidence I see is that the there are two main factors why your healthcare is so expensive - high salaries and high fees. In other words, just your 'market' working to cater for the well off.

		<description>There was a giant stinking "earmark" (cash payment) from Obama to this hospital in the federal budget.

Silence.  Sound of crickets chirping.  Total absence of media investigation.</description>
