why did 0bama grant a no bid DOD contract to a company whos owner donated to his campaign?

As a candidate for president in 2008, Obama, then a senator, frequently derided the Bush administration for the awarding of federal contracts without competitive bidding. Less than two months after he was sworn into office, President Obama signed a memorandum that he claimed would "dramatically reform the way we do business on contracts across the entire government." Federal campaign records show Checchi has been a frequent contributor to liberal and Democratic causes and candidates in recent years, including to Obama's presidential campaign. The records show Checchi has given at least $4,400 to Obama dating back to March 2007, close to the maximum amount allowed. Click here to read the contract award.

  1. The President does not issue DOD contracts, the DOD does. If you have an issue with a contract DOD has issued take it up with DOD.
  2. it is thug politics like he did with his pal blogo in Illinois!!!!
  3. He has to do his paybacks..... Just like in Chicago.
