$3000-a-day jobs for Bush friends Former US president [sic] George W. Bush has appointed dozens of "friends and supporters" to lucrative jobs during his final days in office. The Washington Post wrote on Tuesday that Bush made more than 100 such appointments, tapping associates to non-confirmable, obscure posts such as the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports and the US-Russia Polar Bear Commissions.
Former White House senior aides, Fred F. Fielding, Emmet T. Flood, William A. Burck and Daniel M. Price were all assigned to an obscure World Bank agency called the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes.
The jobs which last for six years are lucrative enough to pay up to USD 3,000 a day with all other expenses.
Roughly half of the jobs that Bush filled after Obama's election were given to donors who gave USD 1.9 million to Republicans since 2003. Additional seats went to "old hands" at previous Republican presidencies, such as that of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush.

No wonder we have no money. Who gets paid 3000 dollars a day? Wow this is someething. I look for more shockers to come out soon. Wow 3000 a day let's see a week is 15,000 dollars a month 60,000 and a year 720,000 dollars even more then the President makes. It's good to be a friend of George W. Bush.
