Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is executive at company that built Obamacare website (UPDATED)

UPDATE: Are the Obamas this 'tone deaf?'   "The Obama White House has a bad case of "tone deafness"  Or, maybe they just don't think that the media will look into these contractual arrangements.
....
"Wonder if anyone in the media will follow up on this connectionor what about the company's past?"

Daily Caller  "First Lady Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is a top executive at the company that earned the contract to build the failed Obamacare website.
"Toni Townes-Whitley, Princeton class of ’85, is senior vice president at CGI Federal, which earned the no-bid contract to build the $678 million Obamacare enrollment website at Healthcare.gov. CGI Federal is the U.S. arm of a Canadian company.
"Townes-Whitley and her Princeton classmate Michelle Obamaare both members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni.
....
Update: "The Daily Caller repeatedly contacted CGI Federal for comment. After publication of this article, the company responded that there would be “nothing coming out of CGI for the record or otherwise today.' ” ...
 
From Examiner.com:
There’s more. Townes’s boss, George Schindler, was an Obama 2012 campaign donor — but that was after his company won the Obamacare website contract, so obviously there is no quid pro quo.
More on the contract here, but especially this info:
Jeffrey Zients, who was just hired by the Obama administration was a consultant for...wait for it..."Bain & Company, the vulture capitalist outfit that Team Obama worked so hard to make an albatross around the neck of Mitt Romney in the last presidential election. Then again, Barack Obama’s antipathy toward Bain lasted only through Election Day."
