Urgent: Should Obamacare Be Repealed? Vote Here Now!

CGI Federal, which secured a $678 million no-bid contract to build the Obamacare exchange web portal, has come under increased scrutiny for ties between senior executives and the Obama administration following the disastrous rollout of the healthcare website.

Toni Townes-Whitley, a senior vice president at CGI Federal, is a Princeton classmate of First Lady Michelle Obama, the Daily Caller reported. In addition to being college classmates, both Obama and Townes-Whitley are members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni.

According to Federal Election Commission Records, Toni Townes-Whitley gave $500 in 2011 and 2012 to Obama's reelection, and another $1,000 to the Obama Victory Fund.

Close access to the White House was also enjoyed by other senior CGI officials, reports The Washington Examiner.

The Examiner reported that visitor logs show that "CGI Federal President Donna Ryan visited the White House six times prior to her company being selected to do the IT design work behind the high-profile website."

"Two of the meetings attended by CGI executives were with Vivek Kundra, Obama's chief information officer. Kundra was a key figure in Obama administration information technology initiatives across the government," the paper reported.

I love fact checkers bias. All the while they say the dots line up, their conclusion is contradictory.

I am not going to completely disagree here. I am sure there was some cronyism going on there. There always is, has been, and will be. No bid contracts are always suspicious to me.

On the other hand, my friends are the first people I go to when I need a job done. I think that is pretty much human nature. If I were to run for office or need money for some other reason, those same friends would donate/loan to me in a heartbeat. Especially the token amounts you listed. It isn't like they were "major" campaign contributions. I would also hope that the company president visited the white house at least a few times before the contract was awarded. No visits would leave me far more suspicious than six does.
