February 15th – In 2009 O vowed to “buck the tradition” of “rewarding donors and political allies with ambassadorships.” (ABC News) Obama: “My expectation is that high quality civil servants are going to be rewarded.” Except O’s the one being “rewarded” and “high quality” means at least $500K. From the Senate hearings (and amounts contributed/bundled to O): 1) Robert Barber’s never been to Iceland ($1.6M) 2) George Tsunis has never set foot in Norway, mistakenly said the cou...ntry has a president & infuriated Norwegians after calling a mainstream political party extremist “fringe” ($1.3M) 3) Soap opera producer Colleen Bell was clueless about Hungary ($800K) 4) Noah Mamet ‘s never been to Argentina & doesn’t speak Spanish ($500K) Finally, Max Baucus admitted he’s “no real expert on China.” Good thing China’s not important. Ladies & gentlemen, meet O’s new ambassadors to Iceland, Norway, Hungary, Argentina & China! You can be one too! Never been to the country? Can’t speak the language? No problemo … all you need is this (below). P
