She was previously head of CARE USA, Children's Network International, Mercy Corps, Plan USA and this is more a celebrate position designed to drum up charitable donations to worthy causes so a billionaire house wife who has a long history of heading charities and raising hundreds of millions of dollars for charities seems perfect for the job. She certainly has a proven track record in the field.

Just more political BS, but in all fairness it couldn't be any worse than W. Bush's FEMA director Michael ( Katrina) Brown.

The fact that Univision has been absolutely demolishing Obama & Holder over the Fast & Furious scandal while the MSM treats him like Churchill or the Pope makes this another idiotic move by this overmatched rookie.

She has some qualifications so why not make new friends by appointing her to a government spot ?
All just part and parcel of winning over the Hispanic vote.

After reading the whole article, i think your the one that has the best point. Now this makes sense. More pandering to win over the Hispanic vote, as if they have to do more! right.

According to the article these posts are for sale. Of course, the world thinks we are a joke anyway.

You know who else was an appointee to the UN general assembly? Shirley Temple, in the 60s. She then became a very real diplomat as ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia.

You know what separates Shirley Temple from Cheryl Saban? A Ph.D. Temple did not even have a college degree - her donations and advocacy in the Republican party launched her into a diplomatic career.

Not that I think that this type of dealing is OK, but frankly, it's par the course. Many cushy diplomatic spots are held by campaign contributors.
