More Hypocrisy at the White House: Millions Paid to Obama’s Inner Circle By Companies at Center of the Economic Crisis
These numbers come from an article on Politico linked HERE.
For the sake of brevity, we’ll break it down below.
Larry Summers, Economic Advisor to Obama:
2.7 Million from CitiGroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Merrill Lynch, Bank of America Corp. and Lehman Brothers. Plus 5.2 Million from D.E. Shaw.
Thomas E. Donilon, Deputy National Security Advisor to Obama:
$3.9 Million from O’Melveny & Myers to represent two firms that received federal bailout funds: Citigroup and Goldman Sachs.
Greg Craig, Obama White House Counsel:
$1.7 million “in private practice representing an exiled Bolivian president, a Panamanian lawmaker wanted by the U.S. government for allegedly murdering a U.S. soldier and a tech billionaire accused of securities fraud and various sensational drug and sex crimes.”
Valerie Jarrett, Senior Obama Aide:
$852,000 from “Habitat Executive Services, a Chicago real estate development and management firm, plus nearly $350,000 in director’s fees from groups including the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and USG Corp.”
So the big question is, when will ACORN be arranging bus tours to bring angry protestors to the homes of Obama’s team the way they did for AIG executives?
Oh, and also, what was that little thing about Obama being the only thing that stands between bankers and the pitchfork wielding mob?
It’s difficult to follow so much hypocrisy at once.
