Same old same old... the quid pro quo must be allowing Obama to demonize you as a "fat cat" so the idiotic voters will think he's for the Little Guy, yet then give you plush positions in the gov't., and federal contracts for your private businesses. Such blatant corruption is staggering to me.
Well, we still run the country with the spoils system. I'm not opposed to a President bringing in their own people. Hell, I would. I do have a problem with the feds "knowingly" feeding the companies where they came from federal monies as some sort of prize, but just because such a company gets federal money does not in & of itself make the case for anything illegal or unethical. It might be worth looking into, but that's for others to decide.
That's one way to look at it. A more cynical view shows me that if a person raised between $50k and $500k for Obama, then that person was paid back with government positions, or even government contracts for their companies, as a reward. When Republican presidents do this, it is called corruption. When a Democrat does it, it apparently is just bring competent people into government.
I heard this on the radio and just sighed. How ridiculous. Obama is not all that different from George. "Change you can believe in". Obama apparently said that just because they are donors doesn't mean they should be disqualified from gov't jobs, lol.
Nonsense. This is what every President does. It's what you or I would do in our businessess if we were hiring. Reward those who helped you build the company, since they've shown they can perform and they are loyal and somewhat like-minded. Obama's biggest mistake to date is that he kept way too many Bush/Cheney people in top positions. That's why so little has changed from the Bush years. He should have completely cleaned house.
So Obama is just like Bush. I get it now. Hope and Change = More of the Same. How about a real outsider getting a chance to not make the rich get richer? I'd add that 'rewarding' people with taxpayer dollars isn't really a reward from the recipient of the first bribe, but I know it will go right over your little brain.
