It pays to be Obama's envoy

I am thinking of selling the house, borrowing money, then bundling it all and giving it to President Barack Obama.

That way I can become U.S. Ambassador to Albania.

Of course, I could just give the man the money outright. But that might look like I am buying the ambassador's job in a sort of "pay to play" manner. That would be wrong and illegal. So it is better if I give it to one of his committees. It sort of launders the cash, as it were.

Also, I figure it sounds more impressive if I bundle it. That way it appears that I gathered the money from a host of willing donors, rather than coming up with it all by myself

Wow! Unbelievable.

So . . . did the august Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, after their hearings, confirm or refuse to confirm these stellar examples of our citizenry?

I would want to be ambassador to Canada. Resident hunting and fishing licenses and damn little in the way of problems to deal with.
