Its a pay-to-play administration baby!

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

Obama Jobs Council Stacked With Democratic Donors - ABC News
Quote:

The group of private-sector business leaders advising President Obama on how to create jobs and grow the economy is full of deep-pocket Democratic donors and high-profile financiers of Obama’s re-election campaign, a review of Federal Election Commission data shows.

At least 10 members of the Obama-appointed Council on Jobs and Competitiveness gave the legal maximum contribution — $4,600 — to help get Obama elected in 2008, and they continue to write checks for the president in 2012. Several also serve as Obama campaign bundlers, top fundraisers who collect millions of dollars from their networks of well-to-do colleagues and friends to aid his re-election bid.

Whatever happened to all that noise the press made about Obama declaring the White House a lobbyist free zone?

Turns out he bypassed the middle man and just put the campaign donors in charge of the loot directly! Classy.

With the so called 'jobs' bill, he has to use a middle man. He wants a half a trillion dollars slush fund. It goes out the door to unions and they send a portion of it back to the re-elect committee.
