I thought President Obama was going to get rid of special interest in Washington?

According to iWatch news, “Overall, 184 of 556, or about one-third, of Obama bundlers [large campaign donors] or their spouses joined the administration in some role. But the percentages are much higher for the big-dollar bundlers. Nearly 80 percent of those who collected more than $500,000 for Obama took “key administration posts,” as defined by the White House. More than half the ambassador nominees who were bundlers raised more than half a million.” I realize that every president does this, but didn’t Obama promise he was going to end these special interest kick backs?
