Obama's Auto adviser is forced to step down. He greased "politically connected" middlemen to obtain state pension business. His wife was Hillary's finance co-chairwoman.  Is the Obama's cabinet ran by the Clintons and Co.? 

Hillary was going to offer this crooked individual the Treasury, if she had won the election, to thank him for his support. Is Hillary one of the "politically connected' individual?
