The payback of politics:

To show their appreciation for all of the money someone donates to their campaigns is a common practice by all of the presidents by rewarding their donators with prestigious ambassadorships to foreign countries plus many other favors.

The monetary reward as an ambassador is between 120,000.00 to 180,000 dollars a year. I would assume that that money is all clear, no taxes are paid because it is made in a foreign country, so we can add about 40% more to those figures.

Beside their very healthy paychecks that they can deposit directly in the bank because they have little to not expenses, they have luxurious living quarters, cooks, maids, chauffeurs, high priced cars, free food and all of the amenities a heavy donator is entitled to; Booze included.

I equate these handouts/paybacks to the old thing they used to do on the radio that was called “payola” where a disc-jockey was paid a kickback for playing a new record over and over to get in under the public’s nose. That at one time was considered illegal, well???????

A vast majority of the people that are assigned to these cushy post cannot even speak the language or are familiar with the customs of the country they are the ambassador to.

So we ask what are the qualifications to becoming an ambassador to a foreign country and representing the USA; a rich daddy, catching someone in bed with someone they didn’t belong with, a big time donator to the cause, all of the above  = a reward for services rendered or cash deposited.

If anyone really thinks that all of these donators to politicians do it without conditions attached, they better think again. The deals that are put together for political support are staggering and mind boggling; many of which I would say are boarder on being illegal.

As the old Italian saying goes, “if you scratch my back I will make sure your ugly daughter and your worthless son has a good job for the rest of their life.” (“Se si gratta la mia schiena mi assicurerò tuo brutto figlia e tuo figlio senza valore ha un buon lavoro per il resto della loro vita)”

I am not just putting this only on Obama, all of the politicians do it, some just more than others.

As my old dear friend LJP used to say, “It is the American way”!
