And the connections become clear

From The Daily Caller:
Michelle Obama�s Princeton classmate is executive at company that built Obamacare website
First Lady Michelle Obama�s Princeton classmate is a top executive at the company that earned the contract to build the failed Obamacare website.

Toni Townes-Whitley, Princeton class of �85, is senior vice president at CGI Federal, which earned the no-bid contract to build the $678 million Obamacare enrollment website at Healthcare.gov. CGI Federal is the U.S. arm of a Canadian company.

Townes-Whitley and her Princeton classmate Michelle Obama are both members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni.

Toni Townes �85 is a onetime policy analyst with the General Accounting Office and previously served in the Peace Corps in Gabon, West Africa. Her decision to return to work, as an African-American woman, after six years of raising kids was applauded by a Princeton alumni publication in 1998.

George Schindler, the president for U.S. and Canada of the Canadian-based CGI Group, CGI Federal�s parent company, became an Obama 2012 campaign donor after his company gained the Obamacare website contract.
What I find astonishing is not that these people are bought; it is how cheaply these people are bought. A 500 Million dollar contract just because of a college chum? Posted by DaveH at October 25, 2013 9:30 PM
