RATINGS ABUSE: Since "bagman" etc etc see ratings abuse as their only way to shout down my comment that answered a question from someone that replied, I'll put my comment that has been HR'd here:
http://www.uchospitals.edu/...
"Eric E. Whitaker, MD, MPH, a nationally recognized public health authority, expert on minority health issues and, in his own words, "country doc" for some of the city's poorest communities, has been appointed Executive Vice President for Strategic Affiliations and Associate Dean for Community-Based Research, a new position at the University of Chicago Medical Center, effective October 1, 2007."
UCH folded Michelle Obama's former duties into an EVP postion with larger responsibilities.
Original Diary follows:
Looks like the University of Chicago Medical Center has no need for the job that Michelle Obama was paid $300,000 a year to perform.
Good thing Barack Obama won the election, otherwise Michelle Obama might be one of the nation's newly unemployed as her former employer, the University of Chicago Medical Center has eliminated her $300,000 job along with 450 others to control costs.
The other newly unemployed at the medical center are mostly clerical and maintenance workers, many of them at the hospital for years, who will find it difficult to obtain jobs that were as well paying and as convenient to their residences as those they just lost. Very sad.
But Michelle has landed on her feet. According to the cover of the March, 2009 issue of Vogue, she has transmogrified into "The First Lady the World's Been Waiting For."
Awesome!
