President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Would you want a police chief to be stuck into at least $45,000 in credit card debt?

 

The word is "comrade."

Seem?

 

Given the amount of time you spend here I would think you’d have a man crush.

 

Stuck? He's paid it off (or at least down to levels that don't require disclosure).

 

But does he know better than to wear a tan suit?

 

Even I know better than to wear a tan suit.

 

But, @typefitter is right. I'd hate to have a high official in debt, and desperate.

Obama was short of work and short of cash, but Robert Blackwell Jr. came to his rescue. EKI hired him in March 2001 and paid him $8,000 per month in legal retainers, for a total of $112,000. Obama and his staff then helped Blackwell’s other company, a ping-pong apparel company called Killerspin, get $320,000 in state grants. It began in 2002, months after Obama had received his last legal payment from Blackwell. Obama wrote a letter requesting a $50,000 tourism grant for Killerspin for its annual promotional ping-pong tournament.

Blackwell got only a $20,000 grant that year, but he did much better in 2003 and 2004. Dan Shomon, Obama’s longtime aide, helped Killerspin get $300,000 more in taxpayer-funded grants in those two years. The Times reports that Shomon was working part-time for Obama and part-time for Blackwell when he obtained the grants, which is an irregular arrangement all on its own.
