Since it is Obama you will likely ignore it or attack me.

http://dailycaller.com/2012/02/28/lightsquared-ceo-resigns-amid-revelations-of-companys-proximity-to-obama-white-house/

Ahuja, who had never donated to Democrats before and has not since, gave the maximum allowable $30,400 contribution to the Democratic National Committee on the same day his lawyers were trying to arrange a meeting for him at the White House with top Obama technology adviser Aneesh Chopra and other officials.

In emails between Ahuja’s lawyers and White House officials Ahuja wanted to meet with, his lawyers pointed out that he would attend an Obama fundraiser on or about the same day he wanted the meeting.

In a statement accompanying the company’s announcement of Ahuja’s resignation, he made no mention of those revelations.

So at the mere thought of wrong doing the CEO resigned... Sounds like a man that takes personal ethics and responsibility seriously. I wish more CEO's were like that.

It sounds like a corporation attempted to buy influence in the White House and got caught, leading to the ceo resignation of one of the purchasers who still retained his seat on the board.

It smells like the constitution to me and it smells pretty damn good.


The Supreme Court was pretty clear, private expenditures dont have a currupting influence and therefore we can do nothing.


Although this guy has a funny sounding name and I bet hes brownish....so Im not sure the constitution applies equally to him.

"Since it is Obama"

Since what is Obama? What are you talking about? Why don't you go back to your other thread and finish that one, Puma, since you disappeared before answering the reasonable questions asked of you in that one.

I guess liberals are just fine with pay to play tactics. You want something? Pay up first. Liberals will forgive, they always do. Obama can do no wrong in their eyes.

OMG are you bitching about pay to play politics? Isn't that your bread and butter?


Not only that you are bitching about a CEO that stepped down when he found out his company was playing the pay for play game?


You are one twisted mofo Fist....

I'm not sure what is going on in that dark empty head of yours Reese. Just when and where have I supported pay for play? Not a shock that the troll will try to invent something, anything other than addressing his lord and master's corruption.

Just about any and every time there is a Republican involved in the conversation since '01.
