11/19: Barack Obama rewards big donors with plum jobs overseas

Posted by Editor on November 19, 2009 · 1 Comment

Of the nearly 80 ambassadorship nominations or confirmations since Obama’s Inauguration, 56 percent were given to political appointees and 44 percent have gone to career diplomats, according to records kept by the American Foreign Service Association.

    What I see is that Obama wants to replace the “old status Quo ” with his own style of Status Quo.
