Hillary’s Pollster Got His “Stimulus”
The administration of President Barack Obama awarded $6 million in federal “stimulus” funds to two companies run by Hillary Clinton’s pollster, Mark Penn.
The money, which “saved” a whopping 3 (three) jobs, went to PR firm Burson-Marsteller, which Penn runs, and Penn, Schoen & Berland, which is the polling firm Penn owns. Its purpose? Creating a national public relations campaign to advertise the “big switch” from analog to digital television.
Yeah …
Making the expenditure even more suspicious is the fact that the campaign took place on May 5 – or less than forty days before the cable transfer.
And we wonder why the “stimulus” has failed so miserably? Sheesh …
Interestingly, based on manufacturing wage data released earlier this week by the S.C. Manufacturers’ Alliance, that $6 million would have paid for 168 full-time salaries at the S.C. average wage of $35,620.

Corrupt Democrats. Nothing new here.
Imagine how that $6 million could have been spent properly equipping the poor schools, of Dillon, SC!
