“Pay to Play” keeps getting better everyday:

President-elect Barack Obama took big money from a man at the center of a federal probe that has forced one of Obama’s top Cabinet picks to withdraw.

Financial records show the Obama campaign got more than $30,000 from California financier David Rubin, the target of an investigation into donations and possible “pay-to-play” deals involving New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, Obama’s pick for commerce secretary.

~~~

In late September, Rubin attended an exclusive Los Angeles fundraiser for Obama, held at the Beverly Hills’ Greystone Mansion.

You won’t hear anything negative about Obama for the next 4 years, not on CNN, not on MSLSD, not on NBC, or CBS or ABC, remember what it said on the Drudge Report about Ann Coulter on the Today show “We just don’t want to talk about anything negative about Obama, such a downer” end of story, Obama will get his ass kissed for the next 4 years while the country goes down the drain

Are you asking about the New Mexico deal?

If so,,...I don’t have an answer to that....I suppose it will come out in the Grand Jury Inquiry.

The key comment from Flopping Aces.....

Check out the bolded portion. Rubin was invited THREE WEEKS after the scandal broke out. Still, the DNC and Obama had no problem whatsoever with this guy attending and giving some cash.

Wonder what kind of favors he was hoping to get from Obama and Richardson?
