“Sometimes it is not even necessary for the revolving door to revolve in order for someone to make money. After Barack Obama was elected to the Senate in 2004, his wife’s salary at the University of Chicago Medical Center jumped from $121,910 to $316,962, according to tax returns. The next year, Senator Obama sought to earmark $1 million for the Center, which later received a $6 million grant under President Obama’s Affordable Care Act. It is interesting that Mrs. Obama’s position simply disappeared when she left for the White House.”
