The Most Damning WikiLeaks Revelation Isn’t Even About Hillary!

According to Podesta’s emails, a Citigroup executive determined the list of Barack Obama’s first-term cabinet and administration jobs. This is the same Citigroup which would end up receiving the largest bailout from the federal government during the financial crisis – American citizens’ tax money paid to prop up a failing business.

As reported by David Dayen in his New Republic article:

Michael Froman, who is now U.S. trade representative but at the time was an executive at Citigroup, wrote an email to Podesta on October 6, 2008, with the subject “Lists.” Froman used a Citigroup email address. He attached three documents: a list of women for top administration jobs, a list of non-white candidates, and a sample outline of 31 cabinet-level positions and who would fill them. “The lists will continue to grow,” Froman wrote to Podesta, “but these are the names to date that seem to be coming up as recommended by various sources for senior level jobs.”

The cabinet list ended up being almost entirely on the money. It correctly identified Eric Holder for the Justice Department, Janet Napolitano for Homeland Security, Robert Gates for Defense, Rahm Emanuel for chief of staff, Peter Orszag for the Office of Management and Budget, Arne Duncan for Education, Eric Shinseki for Veterans Affairs, Kathleen Sebelius for Health and Human Services, Melody Barnes for the Domestic Policy Council, and more. For the Treasury, three possibilities were on the list: Robert Rubin, Larry Summers, and Timothy Geithner.

What other Obama puppetmasters will be revealed in further leaks? Wouldn’t it be better to have an administration that is working for the citizens of the country instead of shadowy influences?
