Obama Is "Outdoing" His Predecessors

THEN: During The 2008 Campaign, Obama Said "We Need To Limit The Influence Of Big Donors." OBAMA: "I wholeheartedly agree with the idea that we need to limit the influence of big donors on campaigns, and I've co-sponsored legislation to fix the system - legislation Sen. McCain does not support. I am firmly committed to reforming the system as president, so that it's viable in today's campaign climate." (Sen. Barack Obama, Op-Ed, "The System Is Broken," USA Today, 6/20/08)

NOW: Obama Is "Outdoing" His Predecessors On Rewarding Donors. "Presidents of both parties have long rewarded donors with diplomatic prestige, but Obama appears to be outdoing his immediate predecessors." (Julian Pecquet, "Obama Hands Out Top Ambassador Posts To 19 Big Campaign Donors," The Hill, 7/16/13)

University Of Pennsylvania Professors Johannes W. Fedderke And Dennis C. Jett "Computed Theoretic Prices" For An Appointment In The Obama Administration."Officially, of course, there are no such requirements for would-be ambassadors. But in a recent study, two researchers - Johannes W. Fedderke and Dennis C. Jett, both professors of international relations at Pennsylvania State University - computed theoretical prices for different postings. Titled 'What Price the Court of St. James's? Political Influences on Ambassadorial Postings of the United States of America,' the paper looks at diplomatic appointments in the Obama administration through January 2011." (Nicholas Confessore, "Study Puts 'Cost' To Landing Embassy Plot,"The New York Times, 1/31/13)

(Nicholas Confessore, "Study Puts 'Cost' To Landing Embassy Plot," The New York Times, 1/31/13)

• "The Study Found That Political Ambassadors Who Had Made Campaign Donations Of $550,000, Or Bundled Contributions Of $750,000, Had A 90 Percent Chance Of Being Posted To A Country In Western Europe." (Nicholas Confessore, "Study Puts 'Cost' To Landing Embassy Plot," The New York Times, 1/31/13)

Yeah I actually know of politically connected Chicago peeps who got ambassador appointments. One guy was a large Chicago contractor. 

You can do it too, you just have to go to all of the political shindigs and donate/raise money. I don't have that kind of energy or desire to kiss ass like that.
