Donor Ambassadors 1/2

Today, when Democrats make a big deal of Sondland being a donor to Trump's campaign, just keep in mind:

During his second term, Obama named 31 campaign “bundlers” — supporters who raised at least $50,000 to fund his presidential campaigns— as ambassadors.

So Democrats, please get off your high horse.

Here are the names and photos of Obama's campaign bundlers who were appointed as ambassadors, how much money they raised for Obama, and countries of their respective appointment.
For better or worse, ambassadorships are viewed as patronage jobs in DC, no matter who the president. Why else do you think Senate approves them routinely? Sondland's nomination received bipartisan support during his confirmation hearing, today's theater notwithstanding.
