They, like a number of other companies are pre-qualified to get certain types of large government contracts. Why anyone would be stunned by this or whining like a child that they know the right people is just stupid.

I'm sure there are no other companies that could also be hired, right?

They know the right people in THIS administration.

They won that ability to get those contracts when Bush was in office, so no, knowing Michelle Obama didn't matter. Nobody in the Bush administration was listening to her.

Can you guys please go read something before you come up with stupid opinions. It'd be nice for once to read a post or two that actually made factual sense.
