White House Unable To Explain Campaign Donor's Qualifications To Be Ambassador

[Webster]

...maybe I'm just being a bit naive here, but wouldn't it help if prospective ambassadors were vetted for reasons other than, oh, the large amounts of money they can donate to elected officials:

ABC’s Jonathan Karl asks if Obama’s nominated Ambassador to Hungary has any qualifications other than donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to Obama’s re-election campaign. White House spokesman Josh Earnest awkwardly tries to avoid admitting the obvious.

There's a long tradition of high rollers being paid back by appointments like this.

So, this is "politics as usual" and NOT the "new openness" and other crap that was promised.
