PearlHowardman Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 GSA corruption. Secret Service corruption. Now this disclosure. The White House and US government - no one is in charge. Former Dem. Congressman Kennedy Alleges 'Quid Pro Quo' for Access to White House8:42 AM, Apr 15, 2012 By DANIEL HALPER Access to the Obama White House is in direct correlation to the amount of money donated to the president's reelection effort and the Democratic party, the New York Times reports today. The Times reports: "those who donated the most to Mr. Obama and the Democratic Party since he started running for president were far more likely to visit the White House than others. Among donors who gave $30,000 or less, about 20 percent visited the White House, according to a New York Times analysis that matched names in the visitor logs with donor records. But among those who donated $100,000 or more, the figure rises to about 75 percent. Approximately two-thirds of the president’s top fund-raisers in the 2008 campaign visited the White House at least once, some of them numerous times." But the most explosive allegation in the news story comes from former Democratic congressman Patrick Kennedy, son of the late Ted Kenney, who calls what the Obama White House is doing "quid pro quo." Patrick J. Kennedy, the former representative from Rhode Island, who donated $35,800 to an Obama re-election fund last fall while seeking administration support for a nonprofit venture, said contributions were simply a part of “how this business works.” “If you want to call it ‘quid pro quo,’ fine,” he said. “At the end of the day, I want to make sure I do my part.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 It's refreshing that a Kennedy actually admits to the obvious. Now, if he can start referring to Ted as a philandering drunk murder, we'll be getting somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Absolutely you will. Someone needs to wash the dishes. Ahhh.... so they heard about my excellent dish washing abilities through restaurant gossip. Maybe I'll apply to be in the Secret Service, I heard there were some openings coming up.
