Update: More on Obama’s Diplomat$

New details on the donors Obama tapped Wednesday for amiable ambassadorships in England, France and beyond.

Louis B. Susman (England) and his wife have contributed or helped raise about a million dollars for Obama, other Democratic candidates, and Obama’s January inauguration festivities, according to this timely fact sheet assembled by the Center for Responsive Politics. (The group notes Susman has earned the nickname “vacuum cleaner” and “The Big Bundler.”)

John V. Roos (Japan) doesn’t speak Japanese, but he and his wife did donate or bundle nearly $600,000 for Obama and other Democrats, CRP found.

Charles Rivkin (France) does speak French, Obama press secretary Robert Gibbs wants folks to know.  CRP wants you to know Rivkin also gave and bundled more than $800,000 in donations to Obama’s campaign and inauguration, and has given another $97,500 to Democratic candidates.
