Ah, the Chicago way:
More than 40% of President Obama’s top-level fundraisers have secured posts in his administration, from key executive branch jobs to diplomatic postings in countries such as France, Spain and the Bahamas, a USA TODAY analysis finds.
Twenty of the 47 fundraisers that Obama’s campaign identified as collecting more than $500,000 have been named to government positions, the analysis found.
Overall, about 600 individuals and couples raised money from their friends, family members and business associates to help fund Obama’s presidential campaign. USA TODAY’s analysis found that 54 have been named to government positions, ranging from Cabinet and White House posts to advisory roles, such as serving on the economic recovery board charged with helping guide the country out of recession.
When the history gets written, I think this Administration will be found to be the most corrupt, ever. And even if we want to excuse Obama (who may, indeed, be clueless about this), the fact is that a bunch of horribly corrupt Chicago pols are at the levers of power…and the only thing they know is corruption.
