Barak's Earmark to Michelle
Obama's campaign released the full list of his earmarks (something Clinton's campaign has yet to do), and the intertubes has already found something pretty unethical.
Via Campaign Spot and Riehl Worldview, it turns out Barak earmarked a million dollars for the University of Chicago hospital where Michelle Obama was vice president for community affairs. In 2004, before Barak was elected to the Senate, Michelle earned 1,000 a year. Just after he was elected she received a raise to 7,000 a year - more than two and a half times her previous salary.
Earmarking a million taxpayer dollars to your wife's company which just gave her a massive raise... I think someone else already called dibs on that style of politics.
