More of that thick and drippy Obama pay-to-play as the wife of Haim Saban is nominated by Obama to represent the USA at the UN.
From The Washington Free Beacon…
The White House announced Wednesday it has nominated Cheryl Saban, the wife of Univision chairman Haim Saban, to be a representative of the United States to the General Assembly of the United Nations.
Cheryl Saban is described as an “author, philanthropist, and advocate for women and children” in the White House announcement, serving on boards of the Saban Research Institute, Girls Inc., and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
Her husband founded Saban Entertainment—the production studio behind “Power Rangers”—in the 1980s. Haim Saban is a major Democratic donor, personally giving more than $1 million to Democratic candidates and committees in the 2012 election cycle. He has donated at least $333,333 to the Obama-affiliated Super PAC Priorities USA, which is best known for an ad suggesting Republican nominee Mitt Romney was responsible for a woman’s death, as well as $325,520 to Majority PAC, a Super PAC touted by Sen. Harry Reid (D., Nev.). Patriot Majority, an arm of Majority PAC, launched a campaign in August targeting Charles and David Koch. Reid, meanwhile, has persisted with claims that Romney may not have paid income taxes.
Cheryl Saban’s nomination comes less than a month after her husband penned a New York Times op-ed defending President Obama’s Israel record.

Qualifications?
(que sardonic laughter)
Funny, she doesn’t look Jewish, but he looks like a VERY useful Jew. And of course, her appointment has NOTHING to do with his, uh, generosity. It’s totally merit-based. Totally.
Is it me, or does her face look abnormally taut?
Sorry, my mistake. She’s obviously Native American. High cheekbones, you know.
And the NYT was delighted to run Esau’s, I mean Haim’s op-ed. So open-minded of them.
