Ex-ambassador joins Maine business

Hulk says

From the WSJ:
"Donors Find a Home in Obama's Ambassador Corps
President Barack Obama's pick for the post is from a different mold:
John Roos, a San Francisco Bay area lawyer, was the president's chief Silicon Valley fundraiser and contributions "bundler."
He has no diplomatic experience.

Mr. Obama's choice of Mr. Roos, along with other political boosters -- from former investment banker Louis B. Susman,
known as the "vacuum cleaner" for his fundraising prowess, to Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney -- has raised eyebrows
among some who thought the president would extend his mantra of change to the diplomatic corps.

"We're not only insulting nations [that] we're appointing these bundlers to, we're risking U.S. diplomatic efforts in these key countries,"
said Craig Holman, a government-affairs lobbyist at watchdog group Public Citizen.

This tension can be traced back to Mr. Obama's claim during last year's campaign that President George W. Bush
engaged in an "extraordinary politicization of foreign policy."
Mr. Obama said he instead would ensure that hires are based on merit, rather than party or ideology."

So how's that Hopey Changey thing working for you?

Or are you just so high on Hopium that you don't know?
