Major Democratic donor Philip Falcone runs an investment fund that is majority owner of the company.
It turns out the company also runs an ads at Think Progress, a website run by the liberal Center for American Progress.

American Progress keeps showing up.

Just imagine the furore if Bush or Cheney had "refused" to establish a blind trust.
Indeed, recall the furore over Cheney converting his contracted severance payment from Halliburton into an insurance policy -- all straight up and designed a.) to get him his due, while b.) removing him totally from any hint of conflict of interest.
"Refused" to establish a blind trust???!!! Wow! Abject corruption right out in the open. This must be the "Chicago Way"...
Pay for Play. The NYSlimes, NPR, UPI, there’s hope for us yet. Great info...I’m sure the Clinton team got a windfall.
The Chicago and the Clinton way. I think they’re running the show. Dufus couldn’t plan something like this...it was definitely preplanned.
No wonder the Chicago Tribune threw Obama under the bus this morning.
Maybe Rahm wants to run for emperor after deposing his bath house buddy for high crimes and misdemeanors.
You can say that again! ;-)

Love it
Anything for a profit regardless of the collateral damage. Isn't this what socialists/communists claim capitalists believe?
These idiots remind me of a cartoon character sawing off the branch between themself and the tree.
Do they believe themselves insulated from the consequences of their actions?
There’s a lot out there on the Center for American Progress. Beck has been on this group for a while.

More Crony Capitalism for Sarah P’s ammo locker.
He wouldn't be so blasé except that he knows he will not be replaced. He will either win by voter fraud or create a situation whereby he can declare martial law.
Has he really refused to set up a blind trust? Anybody got links to support that?
That’s good!!
Where are our elected officials? They should be calling for impeachment pronto! We can’t and shouldn’t expect the commie media to do anything FOR America!
We (conservatives) could never catch this “Chicago Way” type of action... It’s above our pay level. When cops get big drug busts - nine times out of ten a rival gang has spoon fed the information to authorities. Who’s behind all of this Obama expose stuff?
...................So, when will impeachment begin?...............
Never!
Unfortunately, he’s black, thus untouchable, lest there be riots on “main street”!
Nobody even has the balls to call him on his totally bogus “birth certificate”: how are they going to call him on Lightsquared; Solyndria; fast/furious, or any of the other scams going on in his “government”.!
Scum, just total scum!
Really good question.
I'd wager that at least some of it is coming from leaks in the Congressional Committees investigating Fast & Furious and Solyndra.
The 'Pubbies seem to have finally realized how to get the media interested in 'Rat scandals -- spoon-feeding them tantalizing tidbits.
Of course, six months ago, the media couldn't be bothered to print and publicize such leaks. Now, they've decided to pile on. And somebody else is running a much larger leak machine, using information the investigating committees wouldn't necessarily have.
Somebody, some group, on the left has decided to feed Obama to the jackals. It might even be the somebody -- or group -- that was running him...
