The Worst Government Any Money Can Buy! - Car salesman pays $32K to lobby Obama for 2 minutes


Corruption from all levels and all of them are at the top. This is the sleaziest president ever! What was more important to this low life, saving his ambassador and his security or going to a fund raiser in Las Vegas? 
So as four, Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, and three others: Sean Smith, a Foreign Service information officer, and Tyrone S. Woods and Glen A. Doherty, two former Navy SEALs working as security personnel at the consulate in Benghaz, were getting murdered in Benghazi. Obama went to bed to get a good night's sleep before he headed of to his Nevada fund raiser. m/r


Car salesman pays $32K to lobby Obama for 2 minutes

Chris Woodyard, USA TODAY -  June 1, 2013

Paul Scott says it will be expensive, but it will allow him to make points about electric cars directly to the president.

A Los Angeles car salesman and electric car advocate is shelling $32,400 out of his retirement savings so he can make a pitch directly to President Obama at a "private, off-the-record" Democratic fundraiser next week.

Paul Scott, 60, says he isn't a rich guy. He's a $50,000-a-year Nissan salesman who plans to rub elbows with 24 bigwigs in a private luncheon that he says will put a crimp in his retirement plans.

But he says the goal is worthwhile. He wants to make a few points to Obama about on how to better support electric cars -- a cause that Obama already embraces -- and thought the private audience would be a fine way to do it.

So when a solicitation came for the fundraiser, Scott says he was told that he'd get a chance sometime over the luncheon to offer his advice directly to the president. "That was something I had to confirm before I wrote the check," Scott says. At least two minutes, probably no more than four, he says he was told.
