Contributor Who Brought Down Bill Richardson Also Made Contributions To Obama

• January 7, 2009

Another day, another scandal for the Obama administration.
Is anyone keeping track? Is Obama going to set the record for the most scandals before even taking office?

WASHINGTON – A prominent businessman caught up in a grand jury probe whose political donations ended any role for New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson in the Obama administration also was a generous contributor in support of the president-elect.
David Rubin gave $26,200 to the Democratic Party on Sept. 19 and $2,300 to Barack Obama’s campaign on Sept. 30, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission. Last February, Rubin gave another $1,000 to Obama’s campaign.
Rubin and his company donated $100,000 in 2003-2004 to the political committees of Richardson. The contributions came both before and after Rubin’s company won a state contract in New Mexico to help finance $1.4 billion for highway and transportation projects, a contract that brought $1.5 million in business for the company, CDR Financial Products.

So let’s put some puzzle pieces together there:
Richardson and Rubin got in trouble for a quid pro quo arrangement on a public works project.
Obama is planning on a spending spree that will include hundreds of billions invested in public works projects.
Richardson was to be appointed to a key position in Obama’s cabinet to oversea public works projects.
Rubin contributed heavily to both Obama and Richardson.
So, what were these guys plotting?

You people are like the junior high school team that loses the tournament and then starts telling the other kids at school that the winners wet the bed.

And at the award banquet you trip the winners as they walk up to receive their trophies.

In other words, poor loser a-holes. It’s pathetic.

No one cares. Republicans are in for 4 years of daily beatings for destroying the country. As we sink deeper into the abyss the anger will rise aided by Obama and the democrats who will be holding the bullhorns telling everyone to turn their anger towards the conservatives.

Should be a PAR-TAY!

What’s funny is that this scandal is bad enough to prevent him from being the commerce sec. but apparently not bad enough to step down from being governor.

This guy wanted his personal expenses paid for by his contributors at the DNC this fall. He’s so far from reality that he needs to move to Hollywood.

After 8 years of daily hate from angry Democrats I doubt that tactic will be effective over the next 4 years.

Obama was elected on the premise that he will bring Happiness to America; Democrat majority blaming Republican minority is in direct conflict with the Happy agenda.

So Dino, I am planning on the fact that you will keep up the hate and anger; I’m perfectly happy to see you dwell in the mud while I sit on the sidelines enjoying the farce.

Hugs and kisses to you, sweetie.

It will all be swept under the rug, just like the Daley machine has always done, with nary a peep from the complaisant media!

The Cons/Neocons/Repubs are squeaky clean. Their dealings are crystal clear.

no, they can be crooks also. funny thing is, few ever hear about it if a liberal dude hides $90K in a freezer, is caught not paying income taxes, takes a good guy loan on a house or a gal is caught stuffing cash in her bra. whats worse is that liberals that are asked what they think about it suddenly think thats normal behavior.
jimmypop

rich liberals give money to all rich liberals. id be SHOCKED if barry could pick this guy out of a crowd.

besides, if the $10/ hr dishwashers giving $50K to Hillary didnt stick, what power do you think this will have?

Right on cue. Guilt by association and innuendo.

– Dino, lying Marxist piece of shit

Guilt by association?

If by association you mean taking donations from a man under investigation for bribing a governor you just may be right.

Innuendo?

We don’t know, or care, if Obama shares your sexual preferences, or not, rimlapping fairy.

What does Richardson’s nomination say about the unicorn pilot’s judgement?

When the press can find these things out so quickly when it’s the Messiah’s picks it just begs to have these questions asked:

Does he even bother vetting his picks?

Even a litle bit?

Is Obama just hoping nobody pays attention?

Is Obama as corrupt as his picks or is he just plain stupid?

One thing we do know, Richardson withdrew his name from nomination after his connection to Rubin came to light to protect Obama so any further investigation will most likely prove the charges Richardson was indicted for.

Yes Dino, you’re right on cue. He will go down in history as the president linked to more fraud and corruption than anyone before him, regardless of party. But I respect your right to choose your hero’s and bow down before them.

I dunno. I think he’s going to have to work pretty hard to beat reagan’s record of 138 admin members investigated, indicted or convicted.

As for guilt by association…….

In case you don’t know, that’s Abramoff.

Nahhhh!!!!! Are you serious? Unbelievable. Paying to gain influence and favors in our USA. Nahhh!!! It does not happen.
If it does, only the Dems do it. The Cons/Neocons/Repubs are squeaky clean. Their dealings are crystal clear.
If anybody says different he/she is a damned lier. /sarcasm.

Hey Bob…it wasn’t Reagan who gave us Bush 1, it was the PEOPLE. You remember, that voting thing we do every 4 years.
jk

A fraud elected by fraud, associated with liars, cheats, thieves. Rev.Wright, Fleiger, Bill Aires, Franklin Raines, Emil Johnson, Farakhan, Kalhadi and the list goes on. Who knows who else is going to come crawling out of the woodwork.
And this piece of shit hasn’t even been sworn in yet.
NoJelly

The good news? Depending on how many “suicides” are connected with President-elect Hope&Change’s administration, The Clinton’s will no longer be the most corrupt presidency in American history…
jk

As for guilt by association…….
REZKO, RAINES, JOHNSON, FARAKHAN, WRIGHT, FLEIGER, AYERS, KALAHDI AND THE LIST GOES ON, AND ON. cAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHO ELSE POPS TO THE SURFACE.
Dino

Too bad we’re in the throes of a republican-created economic meltdown or you might be able to get some traction.

But this ain’t 1993 and the people HATE republicans so much they’d rather have Saddam Hussein as leader than one of those shitstains on legs.

Raygun??? You mean the Raygun that brought us blah, blah, blah…

Thanks to advances in modern medicine, we are now able to accurately (and retroactively) diagnose RDS: Reagan Derangement Syndrome.

Side effects may include vomit-inducing rhetoric, irrational desire to post pointless pictures, excessive cutting and pasting with occasional glossolalia, which may include “pocketa pocketa” sounds.
Sufferers should seek professional help immediately.

While turning the country socialist, that’s all Obama will accomplish. Fueling the anger to distract from his ability to do anything. After all, he knows nothing, has done nothing and will do nothing good.

Raygun??? You mean the Raygun that brought us 2 recessions, 5 tax hikes, including the largest tax hike in history (up to that point), who took us from being the largest creditor nation to the largest debtor nation in 8 short years (could be 6 or 7 – I,d have to check), the deregulating Raygun that fathered our current woes, the Raygun whose heart said no but the facts said yes yes yes? The Raygun that gave us George 1 who begot george 2? That Raygun???

Is that the Raygun you’re talking about?
jk

Recessions, tax hikes?? You have Reagan confused with Carter and Clinton.
jk

Reagan??? You mean the Ronald Reagan who brought the country back from the economic destruction brought on by Jimmy Carter and the dems. The Jimmy Carter who gave us the CRA? Is that the Reagan you’re talking about? You’re right DINO you dunno!!!
carrick

Keep lying Bob. It’s what you’re good at.

raygun??? geez, how much acid did you do back in the 60′s?
