It's all about the Benjamins

From The Washington Guardian:
Unions, bundlers and special interests fund Obama's second inauguration party
What a difference an election can make. Barack Obama, whose election victory and inuguration four years ago was fueled by the promise of change, transparency and the end of big money politics, ushers in his second inauguration with quite a bit of change. As in money from companies, labor unions and millionaire donors.

Unlike his first inauguration, Obama is allowing $1 million donations to help fund this weekend�s festivities, taking corporate donations that were banned last time around and refusing to provide full information about the donors.

In fact, all his Presidential Inaugural Committee is releasing about the 2013 donors is a name. No employer, city, state or amount given like last time. Americans won't get that information now until 90 days after the big bash is over.
So we wait three months and take notes then. Who is in bed with whom... Posted by DaveH at January 20, 2013 12:28 PM
