President-Elect Biden’s administration is just beginning to take shape... The leading public contenders are almost exclusively figures who served in the Obama/Biden or Clinton/Gore administrations. Oftentimes, in both.

Yahoo Finance analyzed 21 names being floated on various media lists for top economic jobs and found that 17 of them had served in some official capacity in a previous Democratic administration...

Yahoo defines 'normalcy' as a return of the deep state. Heard this morning that Obama is pushing for Susan Rice (yes, that one) to be reinstated to a cabinet position. Rice, as you will recall, is a board member on Netflix and recently made the headlines in relation to the controversy regarding the abominable film, 'Cuties'.

[PGR88]

Yes, of course. America’s Praetorian Guard wants its power back

[DIRTYSECRET]

And your point is?

They can only advise Private Citizen Biden on his retirement.

Who would Satan Choose?

[Dilbert San Diego]

And I would bet, that some of his primary competitors, such as Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigig(sp?), Amy Klobuchar(sp?), could find themselves in his cabinet.

I wonder if/am worried that Biden will bring back Clapper and Brennan.

I’m sure many of them come from the Chinese Communist Party and the Kremlin as well.

[VeniVidiVici]

Yup. Get ready for an economic downturn and anemic growth. Democrat specialties. Fund the fat cat friends and screw the American people.

Obama will NOT get his third term. Everyone knows that demented Basement Biden isn’t the REAL candidate.

Is that why BO just published a new "memoir"? Because that's what candidates do. Or people who need more money.

[SkyDancer]

And you all saw how that worked out.

And they all prefer the title “Comrade”, for some unfathomable reason.

No surprise. That idiot, Biden couldn’t find anyone except previous hack retreads to serve him. Moron.

17 July 2020: Chicago Sun-Times: Obama Foundation contributions dropped in 2019; top staff pay increased, fundraising costs jumped
The foundation is also increasingly dependent on gifts from corporations and other foundations rather than from individuals, newly released records show.
By Lynn Sweet
Obama Foundation contributions dropped in 2019 for the second year in a row, while pay for top staffers increased and fundraising costs almost doubled, according to financial documents released Friday.
The foundation also increasingly depends on gifts from corporations and other foundations rather than from individuals, records show.

The foundation on Friday posted its annual report and Internal Revenue Service Form 990, which provides more details. The IRS 990 is filed annually by tax-exempt organizations and must include information about their highest-paid employees and contractors.
Headquartered in Hyde Park, the foundation raises money to pay for programs in the U.S. and around the globe and to build the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park...

• Obama faces a formidable fundraising challenge. The Obama Center alone is estimated to cost at least $500 million to build. According to the Obama Center city ordinance, before construction can begin, the foundation has to certify to the city it has the funds or pledged gifts that in “the aggregate equal or exceed the Projected Total Construction Costs of the Presidential Center.”...

The foundation in 2019 paid seven fundraising firms — in New York, California, Massachusetts and Washington — to develop fundraising strategies and programs to cultivate and solicit donors.
That report also shows the Obama Foundation is looking for contributions from beyond the U.S. — in Europe, South American, East Asia and other Pacific regions...READ ON

14 Nov: UK Independent: Biden considers Hillary Clinton for UN ambassador role
by Namita Singh
Ms Clinton, who lost to Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, is “being discussed” as a potential pick for the role, according to the Washington Post...
On Ms Clinton, sources told the Post that the move “would be a way for Biden to highlight the importance of that position in his administration, and that placing her there would raise the prestige of the UN itself at a time when global cooperation and the US role on the world stage, has ebbed”...
