“Change doesn’t come from Washington. Change comes to Washington.”
“It’s time to fundamentally change the way that we do business in Washington. To help build a new foundation for the 21st century, we need to reform our government so that it is more efficient, more transparent, and more creative. That will demand new thinking and a new sense of responsibility for every dollar that is spent.”
How’s that working out?
During his first nine months in office, President Obama has quietly rewarded scores of top Democratic donors with VIP access to the White House, private briefings with administration advisers and invitations to important speeches and town-hall meetings.
High-dollar fundraisers have been promised access to senior White House officials in exchange for pledges to donate $30,400 personally or to bundle $300,000 in contributions ahead of the 2010 midterm elections, according to internal Democratic National Committee documents obtained by The Washington Times.
Business worse then usual. And, of course, the Dems see nothing wrong, but
The DNC has presented a menu of exclusive access opportunities to top givers, according to internal DNC documents provided to potential donors and obtained by The Times.
I’d ask about Obama breaking yet more campaign promises, but, we all know that every Obama promise has an expiration date during the Neverending Campaign. Read the whole thing, as they say. Also, this is supposedly going to be at least a multi-day investigative story at the WT.
Dan Riehl: A wonderful image of the first pimp-in-chief entertaining guests and peddling WH access for cash, wouldn’t you say? Now that I think about it, pimp isn’t the correct word. How about drug dealer for that special feeling you get, feeling important because you copped a bag from the Oval Office on your last trip downtown? Yes, I think that works much better. I so much want to be fair.
