Awesome strategy being invoked by the whitehouse. If you haven’t been following, essentially every President gets a library, how that cash is raised is HIGHLY secret. Well someone videotaped a bush guy saying that they could see the VP, Sec of State of for a few million.
…trhe scandal that erupted this week with the release of a video showing a Homeland Security adviser offering access to high-ranking officials in exchange for a big donation to Bush’s future presidential library fund.
Nice huh?
How does Bush deal with it you ask? from tpm.com
Talking to the New York Times, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino revealed new rules to prevent the appearance of any quid pro quo.
On Wednesday, Ms. Perino said Mr. Bush had asked that members of his foundation “do not inform him about anyone who has written a check, or decided not to write a check, until after he’s no longer president.”
Pretty sweet huh?
