I wondered who Omidar was when I saw his name connected with Fellowships.

Obama and the Dems talked about the evil lobbyists and now their administration is full of their lobbyists.

Of course Omidar will not lobby for Ebay----right?

Ebay really does have something going------they did a promotion on listing old books about a month ago. Millions of books were put on the site for sale by individual sellers.

Sellers put the books on but the buyers were few on thes books.

That means commissions for Ebay------Consider 1 million postings at an average of $2.00 for the listing----that is $2 million dollars. If the item sells Pay Pal takes a percentage and Ebay takes a percentage.

If your item doesn't sell---------not only do you not get paid, but you have paid a commission to Ebay for listing.

Add in time for listing-----and one finds that one is not even averaging minimum wage for the time spent writing.

What exactly are White House Fellowships? Are these the same as White House Internships for high school students who serve as aides for Congress?
