Maxed out Marylanders for Obama
Obama's transition project has released names of transition donors. (These are separate from campaign donors.) Those who made the maximum $5,000 contribution include these Marylanders:
Stewart Bainum Jr., Choice Hotels, Chevy Chase
Sandra Bainum, self-employed, Chevy Chase
John Hussman, Hussman Econometrics Advisors, Ellicott City
Miriam L. Johnson, self-employed, Cheverly
Aris Mardirossian, Technology Patents, Potomac
Marianne Mardirossian, Potomac
Majid Naderkhani, Excelacom, Bethesda
John Register, Ellicott City
Frank White Jr., Silver Spring
Comments
Two things:
1. Not one Baltimorean on that list.
2. Those people, while seemingly generous, could have donated those $5,000 checks to local charities and fed thousands of people.
If I had $5,000 to give away, I certainly would not have given it to a millionaire.
