Emails questioned huge contract for firm with ties to Obama admin
Washington (CNN) - A series of e-mail exchanges between officials at the Department of Health and Human Services shows growing alarm at the amount of projected profit from a government contract for a drug company whose controlling shareholder is a longtime Democratic Party activist.
Ronald Perelman is controlling shareholder of Siga Technologies, and a long-time Democratic Party activist and fund-raiser. He's also a large contributor to Republicans, but has been a particular friend of the Obama White House.

There Obama goes again.
Another story the RIGHT will pick up on instead of creating JOBS!!!!
Obama 2012
While you are at it, what about the huge contracts to Halliburton and the disappearance of the $5 Trillion surplus. I guess that doesn't matter. You won't print it anyway. You never do, since you are leaning to the right, right?
It could not come close to the Cheney- Halliburton deals.
New way to get rich. Give $$$ to obama and democrat party. Ask for a mutiple of your contribution. If you are a wall streeter, a 'green industry' scammer or if you can offer a dubious product for a grotesque mark-up you will get your money.
just Farce....that's it.
Totally Right 'Logic' – If they start to look into this then they MUST look at Haliburton.
