Interesting Money Bundlers For Obama: Frank Clark

For a guy who lies when he says he doesn’t take money from Big Business and lobbyists, and has raised more than $200,000,000 from “the little guy,” Barack Obama surely has some very interesting friends bundling money for him. It’s nearly overwhelming. So I thought I would do this in a kind of series and start with Bundler Frank Clark.
Clark is known has been known as a Lobbyist for Commonwealth Edison. He also has bundled $200,000 in contributions for Barack Obama’s campaign. Now that by itself would be interesting, but it also seems that Clark is yet another one of those people with a politically incestuous Chicago trail.
Clark is currently CEO of Commonwealth Edison. If that doesn’t ring a bell for you, Commonwealth Edison is the same company that boasts the well-connected Thomas Ayers as its former CEO. Mr. Ayers also served as Chair of the Board of Trustees of Commonwealth Edison after his tenure as CEO, so you can easily imagine he had a hand in selecting Mr. Clark as CEO.
Thomas Ayers was also the father of that fine upstanding citizen, “Guilty as hell. Free as a bird” domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. Isn’t that a coincidence?
