Vin Gupta: The man the Clintons love

Aziz Haniffa in Washington, DC | May 30, 2007

(snip)

Some shareholders in infoUSA have filed a lawsuit alleging that all of this was 'a waste of corporate assets', and an effort by Gupta to 'ingratiate himself', with these high-profile guests.

(snip)

Just before his second term ended, Clinton appointed Gupta as a member to the prestigious Board of Trustees of the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

But even with Clinton out of the White House, Gupta's friendship with the now former President grew, and he brought him on as a consultant to infoUSA and, according to the lawsuit, beyond nearly $3 million in consulting fees, had flown the Clintons and himself to Acapulco, Mexico, on a vacation in 2002 and also to Switzerland, Hawaii and Jamaica. He was also said to have provided corporate jets for Mrs Clinton at least seven times since 2002, although it was unclear whether he had done so after she began her Presidential campaign.

FEC records showed that Gupta also donated $19, 500 to her Senate campaign, presidential campaign and her political action committee since 2001.

9. Obama Ad

Bravo, BRAVO, BRAVO!!!

[LatteLibertine]

10. Good ad.

I'll be voting for Senator Obama myself should he get the nomination. I hope he's serious about turning the tide of Corporatism in the United States. The "free market" is a joke. It would be nice to have someone in Washington that fights for the interests of people outside of the most wealthy 10% in the United States.

14. I think there's another one where he sticks it to Hillary on the sam topic

using graphics that show the amounts of money she's taken and from who. I think he needs to "go there" and beyond.

15. Imagine a President with NO OBLIGATIONS to Corporate Interest Groups

Has this ever happened before in recent history?

Some people just need a shot between the eyes - before they can see beyond their racism.
