Change?

Une tradition américaine est de donner aux contributeurs de campagne électorale les postes d'ambassadeur. C'est ce qui a permis au fondateur d'Ameriquest, le plus gros producteur d'emprunts subprimes aux Etats-Unis, de devenir l'ambassadeur de Bush aux Pays-Bas en 2006 après avoir vendu son entreprise (good timing)*. Obama continue. D'après Mc Clatchy.

*Wikipedia: In 2005, Ameriquest Capital and three of its subsidiaries comprised four of the 53 entities that each contributed the maximum of $250,000 to the second inauguration of President George W. Bush.^[4][5] Writes USA Today, "Inaugural fundraisers Dawn and Roland Arnall found a creative way to pump more than the $250,000 limit into the event. Their mortgage firm, Ameriquest Capital, contributed the maximum, as did three subsidiaries, for a total of $1 million. The company declined to comment on its political giving."^[6]
