(LMAO - this is almost too funny to be true.)
I did a search to see if anybody was discussing President Obama's new National Security Adviser - hoping to find out that it was just a joke. Couldn't find any discussion of Mr. Donilon in that position, but there were several hits for the name that I had forgotten about.
Wonder if any of you Obama supporters would like to comment on this appointment with respect to the Obama pledge not to have any lobbyists in his White House?
Or maybe some of you would like to comment on having a FATCAT lobbyist "Bilderberger" for....National Security Adviser? Huh???
From April of this year:
Obama’s close hometown crony, campaign finance chief and senior adviser Penny Pritzker was head of Superior Bank of Chicago, a subprime specialist that went bust in 2001, leaving more than 1,400 people stripped of their savings after bank officials falsified profit reports. Pritzker’s lawyer at O’Melveny and Myers, Tom Donilon, is now Obama’s deputy national security adviser. He earned just shy of $4 million representing her and other high-profile meltdown clients including Goldman Sachs.

From April of last year:
Thomas E. Donilon, Obama’s deputy national security adviser, was paid $3.9 million by the power law firm O’Melveny & Myers to represent clients including two firms that receieved federal bailout funds: Citigroup and Goldman Sachs. He also disclosed that he’s a member of the Trilateral Commission and sits on the steering committee of the supersecret Bilderberg group. Both groups are favorite targets of conspiracy theorists.

From 2008:
Several of the officials have ties to Fannie Mae, the government-backed mortgage firm whose implosion this fall contributed to the financial meltdown. Thomas Donilon, overseeing the State Department, is a partner in the law and lobbying firm O’Melveny and Myers who until three years ago lobbied for Fannie Mae.

And again from 2008:
Tom Donilon was Fannie Mae's executive vice president for law and policy and secretary to the board of directors until 2005.
