Obama Says Bundlers Shouldn't Lobby Congress, Doesn't Mention His Own Bundlers And WH 

Two weeks ago...

Some big-ticket donors even earned a seat at the head table with Obama and Cameron. Sitting alongside actor George Clooney and billionaire Warren Buffett were Obama’s bundlers Francisco Lopes and Chad Griffin. Lopes, the chairman of the investment management firm Landmark Partners, Inc., bundled between $50,000 and $100,000 for Obama’s 2008 campaign. Griffin, the new president of the Human Rights Campaign, has already brought in between $100,000 and $200,000 for Obama’s 2012 campaign.

68 of 350 Obama campaign bundlers got administration jobs

Pay for play?

 Via Daily Caller:

President Barack Obama’s top 350 bundlers in the upcoming 2012 election have already snagged 68 high-status jobs in the administration, and 250 have landed resume-boosting invites to White House events, according to a study released Thursday by a left-of-center media foundation.

The report, by the Center for Public Integrity, also said that 30 of the bundlers are tied to government-related companies on Wall Street, in the green-tech sector or in the defense sector.

The report defines bundlers as people who contact their friends to collect and forward political contributions starting at $50,000 and climbing to more than $500,000.

The report was produced a day after Obama’s 2012 campaign released a TV ad congratulating the president for ethical propriety. Titled “Unprecedented,” the ad claimed that Obama “kept a campaign promise to toughen ethics rules.”

I guess Obama is creating some jobs for those who raise a lot of cash anyway.
