Fun read. I guess it's no surprise, given the political landscape of the US.
For those who don't want to read the (short) article, the newly-appointed ambassador nominee was responsible for generating more than 500,000 USD for Obama during the 2012 presidential election.
This begs the question, does a man who started a political consultation firm and serves on the Political Council on International Policy have the necessary qualifications to act as an ambassador to a foreign country?
