The Least Corrupt White House in Years?

The Chicago Tribune reports that several top donors to the Obama campaign are beginning to grumble about not getting enough face time with the President and top members of the cabinet. Apparently, both Bush and Clinton were much better at keeping in touch with their benefactors, and regularly spent time socializing with them at a.o. the White House and Camp David. Big contributors are also complaining that it is more difficult for them to get appointed to prestigious positions in the administration than they expected.

Obama has come under a lot more scrutiny than presidents in recent years for alleged links to special interest groups and worse. Hopefully, he deserves it far less than his predecessors. Major donors are not so happy though; according to million-dollar contributor Chris Korge, “If they do have any connection … it is very limited as far as the fun stuff is concerned.”
