<p>Oh no, you are not disappointing me. I don’t doubt for a second that there will be people claiming she had a real job at the hospital. The evidence, however, was pretty clear that the job did not existed before Mrs. Obama was hired, and that the “important” job was not offered to anyone after her departure for greener pastures. The sinecure was created for a specidic purpose and it ended when a better one became available.</p>
<p>For what it is worth, I also have no doubt that it would be pretty crazy for anyone associated with the hospital to deviate from the “official” version of what Mrs. Obama did in fact do for the hospital as vice president of community and external affairs . As far as the ROI, there is also little doubt that it did fit rather well in the usual Chicago politics. A rising Senator is worth its pot of gold, especially when mentored as he was. This was clearly reflected in Mrs. O’s large salary increase as soon as hubby made it to the US Senate.</p>
