A new report by iWatch claims the Obama administration gave 200 of its biggest campaign donors key assignments within the government or granted their business interests with federal contracts.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was pressed about the issue at the White House briefing Wednesday and said that giving money doesn't qualify someone for a post, but also doesn't disqualify them and that decisions were based on merit.
"You asked me about supporters of the president who may have been donors who have gotten positions and I would point out to the fact that the people who got those positions got then because of their credentials. They also happen to be donors in some cases. There are obviously numerous and far many more cases of people who weren't donors who were appointed the jobs," Carney said.

We hear the reason the "GOP" is supposedly so terrible is that they will screw the little guy in favor of big donors. Hey, guess what...
Obama's the one doing it.
EVIL Republicans will start illegal wars without permission...
Obama's the one doing it.
The GOP will ignore the will of the people and force the public to live as they demand...
Obama's the one doing it.
So my question is, where are the "liberals" that spend post after post telling us about the above threats... where are you when it's your guy doing it?
