    Did Mooch Screw the Pooch? College Classmate’s Company Built Healthcare.gov

    Posted on October 26, 2013 by Dean Garrison
    In mid-October The Washington Examiner reported that Federal Officials only considered one firm to build the epic fail now known as healthcare.gov. When that story broke you had to suspect that someone probably had a kickback coming.

lead: Toni Townes-Whitley, a college classmate of Michelle Obama and a senior executive at besieged Obamacare website contractor CGI Federal, has visited the White House several times for both personal and professional reasons.  Townes-Whitley visited the White House complex on four occasions earlier this year to meet with administration officials in her role as vice president for at CGI Federal, which secured a $678 million no-bid contract to build the Obamacare exchange web portal.  Townes-Whitley, a Princeton University classmate of first lady Michelle Obama, and her husband, John Whitley, who works as an engineer for CBS News, also attended a White House Christmas gathering together in 2010, posing for photos with the president and first lady.

MICHELLE OBAMA’S CURIOUS CONNECTION TO COMPANY HIRED TO BUILD OBAMACARE WEBSITE
Toni Townes-Whitley is senior vice president at CGI Federal, the company that earned the “no-bid” contract to build the $678 million Obamacare website. She is also reportedly a former Princeton classmate of First Lady Michelle Obama, a curious connection first noted by the Daily Caller.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/10/25/report-michelle-obamas-curious-connection-to-company-hired-to-build-obamacare-website/

Following the publication of the Daily Caller’s report, CGI Federal told the website that there would be “nothing coming out of CGI for the record or otherwise today.”
More from TheDC:
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.
As reported by the Washington Examiner in early October, the Department of Health and Human Services reviewed only CGI’s bid for the Obamacare account. CGI was one of 16 companies qualified under the Bush administration to provide certain tech services to the federal government. A senior vice president for the company testified this week before The House Committee on Energy and Commerce that four companies submitted bids, but did not name those companies or explain why only CGI’s bid was considered.
It should be noted that Townes-Whitley’s connection to Michelle Obama could be nothing more than a coincidence — but that doesn’t mean questions shouldn’t be asked.
For CGI Federal’s part, the $678 million Obamacare website has been described as everything from a “train wreck” to a “disaster” as “glitches” and other problems continue to plague the site.
