Classic Ø. The ethics rules apply unless they don't apply.

And, if you take a look at http://www.opensecrets.org, you will find that Raytheon is a very Democratic company. Just as a point of interest for those of you out in TV land...

Five days as President, three scandals:

1) Richardson drops out of consideration for Commerce Secretary, America suspects previous chicanery will surface
2) “Financial genius” makes “innocent mistakes” on his tax returns, repeatedly refuses to say whether he would have paid back taxes if he had not been nominated as Sec of Treasury
3) Ban on lobbyists serving in administration, unless Obama wants them to

I can't believe no one sees this as the grave misuse of executive orders and power that it is.

Pentagon nominee agrees to sell Raytheon stock

Well, at least he will probably lose a bunch of money. That is until he gets his paybacks later.

What Fartknockers....

At least Cheney donated his, what some 30 million worth...

No mention if he will hire a high end Financial Planning Firm and open a "Blind Trust" like GWB and Cheney and many others do...

Beam me up Scotty the duplicity and financial ignorance of the lame-stram-media is astounding...

Bush got accused of going to Iraq to help his oil company buddies get rich. Bush had no oil investments but just having friends in the oil companies was enough. In this case, we have a DOD contractor actually being allowed to favor his company. Man oh man.
