Obama bundler raised $500,000 for the 2012 cycle.
"The next US ambassador to Norway, George Tsunis bundled $500,000 for President Obama in 2012, apparently knows nothing about Norway. Questioned by Senator John McCain about the anti-immigration Progress Party, which has now joined the ruling coalition, Tsunis had no idea what McCain was talking about. McCain asked for his thoughts; Tsunis replied, “You get some fringe elements that have a a microphone and spew their hatred. And I will tell you Norway has been very quick to denounce them.” That is untrue. They are part of the ruling coalition, as McCain quickly pointed out. snip Tsunis also referred to Norway’s “president,” although the country has no president, since it is a constitutional monarchy." http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/obamas-ambassador-norway-fumbles-basic-questions-about-norway Looks like another winner from the Obummer administration |

Can't even be bothered to read the Wiki entry before sitting in front of congress.

Meh. Most ambassadors to small, friendly countries are rather clueless dudes that raised lots of cash for their POTUS and want the perks of the world political social life.

That's cool. Here in GD, we cannot tell the difference between The Netherlands and Denmark.

This is not news, nor is it newsworthy. If Congress wanted to talk to an expert on Norway, they have several in town and across the river, and plenty of career diplomats in Oslo. |

But the issue is that someone who in theory represents our country can be bothered to skim the C.I.A.'s guidebook to the world.
Even if you don't respect yourself, your country, or your position; one should at least pretend to know your job. This president 's cadre are nothing but children who missed out on any ass beatings as children. Most ambassadors are not statesmen, but at least in the past they gave a damn about appearances.

Gee a pompous arrogant SOB that just figured he was entitled. Who would have thunk it.
I know that there is no love for Romney in GD but I think anyone he would have appointed would have had a pretty good working knowledge of a country to make it past his first round of consideration. |
