The Obama administration overturned a ban preventing a wealthy, politically connected Ecuadorean woman from entering the United States after her family gave tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic campaigns, according to finance records and government officials.

The woman, Estefanía Isaías, had been barred from coming to the United States after being caught fraudulently obtaining visas for her maids. But the ban was lifted at the request of the State Department under former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton so that Ms. Isaías could work for an Obama fund-raiser with close ties to the administration

color me unsurprised donate to Obama, get whatever you want... Unless your an American your tax dollars aren't enough.

yawn!! Another Michal1980 doesn`t know what he is talking about thread....

Instead of a stupid worthless answer, how about addressing the actual post, including the linked article?

It is not at all surprising to me that obummer and his minions are so corrupt -- they're just continuing a fine tradition that's been in place for a long time. What's worrysome is that the corruption is becoming so blatant, the politicians aren't even worried about being caught doing these kinds of things anymore, they know the public either doesn't care or there are enough idiots who blindly support "their side" no matter what they do.

Kind of like obummer's nomination of George Tsunis for ambassador to Norway. Now, lets not pretend ambassador to Norway is some sort of critical position or anything, but it is absolutely embarrassing that they would nominate a complete idiot who's never been to Norway, knows nothing about the country, thinks one of their ruling parties is a "fringe element", and thinks they have a president (they have a monarchy with a prime minister). The guy made a complete buffoon of himself at the senate confirmation hearing.

The only reason he was nominated to that position was as payback for his fundraising for obummer and his minions. That kind of stuff has been going on for a long time, but it's sad that we've become so accustomed to it, that such embarrassing corruption doesn't even raise an eyebrow anymore.

where am I wrong?

a foreigner donates money to the Obama's & Dems: gets laws ignored.

Will my tax dollars get me a get out of jail free card? Didn't think so.

But then again, for you on the left, you'd rather attack me, then your corrupt leader.

No they would rather attack anyone rather than have their idol worship of Dear Leader questioned.

The more I learn about how Hitler came to power, the more I understand the democrats.

Wasn't there some news story recently about an ambassador appointment to someone who was blatantly unqualified but happened to donate a large amount of money to Obama's campaign? Maybe that is typical and par for the course. But then again so is Obama's hypocrisy and lying.

See my post #4, it was George Tsunis.

To be fair, obummer isn't the first one to hand out cushy ambassador jobs to donors or as political favors or payback, it happens in every administration. However, he's taken it to a new record level in terms of volume of such appointments of unqualified people, and he's taken it well beyond relatively minor appointments like ambassadors.

I'm torn on this issue. On one hand, I want to slam the president on this, but on the other I can't fault her superior use of free speech.

The problem for the left is that they both want big government and yet get all offended when it's not made available for the exclusive use of the kind of people they prefer. If you're rich like the person in the OP who got the Obama dispensation then the only involvement they want you to have with the government is to write a check to pay for it.

Preaching racial superiority and intolerance, blaming the nation's ills on minority groups, invading other countries for made up reasons? Next you will have Obama looking under White House furniture for WMDs.
