ABC News: Obama Picking Ambassadors Based on Cash Rather Than Competence

ABC: Obama’s Inept Ambassador Nominees (Washington Free Beacon)

President Obama’s rationale when appointing ambassadors is disconcerting, ABC News’ Jon Karl reports.

The President favors cash over competence when picking individuals to represent our nation abroad.

His pick to be Ambassador of Argentina has never set foot in the South American country.

Iceland and Norway’s picks have never visited their respective countries either.

The President’s pick for Hungary’s ambassador is a seasoned soap opera producer, but lacked basic knowledge about the country when questioned by Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.)
