The Obama administration has named Timothy Broas, a Washington D.C. lawyer, the U.S. ambassador to the Netherlands. Broas is also a major bundler for the president's reelection campaign, the Washington Times reports:
As a campaign "bundler," Mr. Broas collected more than a half-million dollars for Mr. Obama's 2012 campaign, raising money from family members, colleagues and other wealthy associates; four years ago, he assisted Mr. Obama's successful bid for the presidency by raising between $200,000 and $500,000. [...]
This election cycle, 117 people have raised $500,000 or more each for the president's reelection efforts – totaling at least $59 million. That's at least 40 percent of the $145 million Mr. Obama has raised.
One hundred and forty-one people have donated between $200,000 and that amount, or $30 million to $70 million. One hundred and twenty people have donated $100,000 to $200,000, a Washington Times analysis showed.
