More Obama patronage/favoritism? Axlerod

[nycstripes]

More transparency from the chosen one? David Axlerod (Whitehouse Chief Of Staff) is being accused of benefiting from the contract for two separtate $12 million ads to advertise for Obama's healthcare plans.
Axlerod claims he's no longer with the firm he created and held sole ownership of, but his son Michael currently works there. Was this just a soft sale to cover up the fact that he still has some form of quiet "ownership" of the company?
With all of the advertising companies out there, curious how the company formerly owned by the WH Chief of Staff gets the contract.

Change Axelrod's name to Cheney and he would be the devil incarnate.
The hypocrisy from the left is like a tidal wave. Suddenly, all the actions that made Bush's people criminals are all okay, because it's Obama's people that are doing it.

You guys are funny sometimes. They're politicians. They're all liars, salesmen, and hypocrites. It just so happens this time the shoe is on the other foot. Deal with it.

We'll deal with it, but we won't hestitate to point out the hypocrisy. Knowing the true nature of politicians is exactly why I have no sympathy for those who believed that Obama was something different when he is actually a throwback to politicians of years passed. Ignorance of history isn't bliss.

Just another Chi town hustle. They'll be more to come, bet on it.

So you should just accept being ripped off and having your rights trampled on because they are all the same :bow: No we should complain and toss the chumps out on their butts. Not all politicians are dishonest and corrupt, but tolerating the corrupt ones helps corrupt the honest ones.

As I said elsewhere, next November should be interesting. Given the American people have the attention span of a ferret on espresso, we'll see if people will remain this focused on who's to blame for this crap when the mid term elections arrive. (all topics included)

You add to the comedy relief of threads like this.
