MAKE A BIG DONATION TO BO.....AND YOU CAN BECOME AN AMBASSADOR Desirable ambassadorial appointments: As much patronage posts as ever -- Alec Hill from TheDC reports: "The Obama administration has expanded the dubious White House practice of rewarding campaign donors with positions as ambassadors to foreign countries, a report from The Guardian said Wednesday. Citing its own estimates based on figures leaked to the New York Times, the Guardian conjectured that ten recent or imminent appointees to foreign embassy positions had raised on average $1.8 million for Obama’s election campaign coffers. The report noted that the ten donors had raised more than $5 million in 2013 alone. In contrast, the comparable number for George Bush’s appointees in 2001 was only $800,000." America may not have titles of nobility, but for a pretty penny, you too can be an ambassador.
