When you think of deep-pocketed sugar daddies funding Barack Obama and his cronies, George Soros is the most obvious example. But there's another money man you probably haven't heard of before.
His name is Patrick Corvington. He's the former head of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, a "philanthropy" group in the same way that Soros is a "philanthropist". A list of the Foundation's grantees is a who's-who of left-wing organizations. Under just the "A"s comes the mega-union AFL-CIO, the radically pro-abortion Alan Guttmacher Institute, and, of course, ACORN. In the year 2008 alone, the Annie E. Casey Foundation donated more than $228 million.
With a record like that, it was high time for Obama to reward Corvington. Corvington was nominated to head up the government's Corporation for National and Community Service (yes, our government actually has one of those). He was confirmed last week, one of 29 nominations pushed through the Senate. Corvington also previously worked at the Urban Institute, another liberal think tank.
