Need to check donor records — bet this group was a huge donor to ZERO! Follow the money should be the first thing anyone looks at with this Administration when facts come out.
Alexrod is still digging, I see.
Who owns this company?
Cue the spam song!
Not too far away from your tv or computer turning itself on and “zero” appearing to calm your fears with his soothing voice.
O throws the firm under the bus. No surprise here.

The St. Paul company also provides services to numerous city and state governments, many of which will see budget pressures partly relieved by stimulus funds.
To top it off, Burns is now in talks with the White House, which is led by a tech-savvy president and has a new-media team.
“We’re really at the convergence of a few different trends,” Burns said.
Among those trends are the federal government’s more-active role in areas such as banking regulation, and the Obama administration’s promotion of transparency in government. Also, infusions of capital to federal agencies handling major projects, such as the U.S. Department of Transportation, could bring the company more business.
GovDelivery was already on track to post record revenue this year. The firm met quarterly sales goals by the end of February and expects annual revenue for 2009 to range between $9 million and $10 million. That’s up from just less than $7 million in 2008. Burns has hired 10 employees in the past 90 days, bringing his staff to 52; he still has five open positions.
“It’s like we woke up and we’re in the only growing market in the world right now: government spending,” he said.
Well, well, well, mentioned in a contract signed with Alameda, California is a gentleman named Zach Stabenow. me sound familiar?
bttt
Al Franken’s company?
Good grief. Good times in St. Paul as well as in DC, as jobs expand with the federal bureaucracy. Millions of unionized in-it-for-life bureaucrats aren’t sufficient. They have to hire outside help as well.
A friend of Axelrod perhaps? Or maybe a heavy donor to Bambi’s 2008 campaign?
This sounds very, very fishy. Who do we send this to?
his voice would give me convulsions having to listen to it.

I trust no outfit that purports to offer "solutions." There is rarely any deficiency or problem needing a solution, only a manufactured notion of one.
