And zero has nothing to worry about. It’s not like the media will call him on it, and only Republicans have punishable ethics problems.

Obama's push for a national health care overhaul is providing a financial windfall in the election offseason to Democratic consulting firms that are closely connected to the president and two top advisers

It's all about returning this Country's wealth to its rightful owners doncha know. The Halliburton white guys had their shot at the piggy bank, now it's time for some Chicago payback.

Conflicts of interests used to be illegal and scandalous.

You can produce a link that has been removed - show screen shots with dates, etc. That would be one reason to save a webpage as a file.

So what it boils down to is this: pr firms that worked for Obama are now working for PACs that are pushing for 0’s agenda and some of Obama’s staff had ties with the pr firms. Am I right?

If so this is a non-story IMHO.

It revolves around two separate $12 million ad campaigns advocating Obama’s health care plan that were produced and placed partly by AKPD Message and Media, a firm founded by Axelrod that employs his son and still owes Axelrod $2 million.

http://www.politico.com/static/PPM106_090818_axelrod_pharma.html - talking points memo from the Republicans

They are basically pointing out that zero’s top advisors and their families are personally benefitting GREATLY from the health takeover ‘campaign’ buy.

At the least this is a pretty serious conflict of interest and they should recuse themselves from that account.

But they won’t have to. (if they do, I’ll be totally shocked.)

http://www.politico.com/static/PPM106_090818_axelrod_pharma.html - talking points memo from the Republicans

On Saturday, Bloomberg News reported that one of the firms hired to spearhead the PhRMA-led advertising campaign is AKPD—the firm that Senior Advisor to the President David Axelrod founded, and where his son continues to work.

The same news story reported that Axelrod will be paid $2 million from AKPD as part of his severance package—payments which will come due beginning in December.
