"........The report found that former Level 3 executive Donald H. Gips was placed in charge of hiring in the Obama White House and later appointed ambassador to South Africa after collecting more than $500,000 for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.

Other Level 3 executives who raised money for the presidential campaign included Level 3 Chief Executive James Crowe (at least $100,000) and Level 3 Vice Chairman Charles Miller III (more than $50,000), iWatch News reported.

In October, Obama announced his plans to name Crowe Chair of the National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee.

The report also found that Level 3 has been awarded millions of dollars in federal stimulus contracts to extend broadband connections in rural areas. ...."

$500,000 to "Mr. Hope and Change " in return for an ambassadorship to Africa and $14MM of stimulus money to the company from which Mr. Gips still holds a very significant stock exposure.

Impreach the prick.

I also applied for the $5 dollar silent auction for a chance to have dinner with Obummer.
