Stimulus money
 
Now this should get someone's attention......

Some have said that the stimulus hasn't saved any jobs, but here is a case where at least one job was saved.
According to an unnamed source, Oregon State University Athletic Director Bob DeCarolis was considering firing their basketball coach, Craig Robinson, after an 8-11 start (2-5 in the Pac 10 conference).

When word of this reached Washington , Undersecretary of Education Martha Kanter was dispatched to Corvallis with $17 million in stimulus money for the university. The source now says that Craig Robinson's job is safe for this year.

For the record, Coach Robinson just happens to be Michelle Obama's brother.

Doesn't surprise me.

I did a quick check and it came up false, but that school has received over 26 million in stimulus money so far for JUST that school. They of course said that it had nothing to do with him, sounds like chicargo politics to me.
