1999 : (BILL CLINTON NOMINATES HASSAN NEMAZEE FOR POSITION AS US AMBASSADOR TO ARGENTINA, BUT THE NOMINATION IS WITHDRAWN)
That one went south when the Iranians were involved in bombing the Israeli embassy down there in Argentina. Picking an Iranian-American US ambassador at a time like that was going to fly like a lead brick.
But he didn't give up...
Nemazee went on to become an Obama campaign bundler.
But then, that worked out great for Obama but not so good for Nemazee since Nemazee was taking in fraudulently obtained funds from Bank of America while at the same time funnelling money into Obama's campaign coffers. Now Nemazee got arrested for it. Part of it anyway.
But, ...I'm sure Obama has more Iranian bundlers waiting in line ...
