MY dad took me to Washington on Amtrak, and all I got was this lousy hat

Picked the wrong father

Picked the wrong father

Hunter Biden admits his only qualification to serve on Ukraine oil company was that he’d served as Deputy Director of Amtrack, and he got that position courtesy of “Amtral Joe”.

Amtak is forbidden by law from lobbying Congress, so bringing Hunter on board was a neat evasion of that rule.

Young Hunter was previously appointed an executive vice president of MBNA, when that company was pushing a bankruptcy “reform” bill that would benefit its coffers. They got, it, too, with the support of their home state senator, Joe Biden.

ABC News’ Amy Robach asked the former VP’s son in an interview published Tuesday: "If your last name wasn't Biden, do you think you would've been asked to be on the board of Burisma?"

"I don't know. I don't know. Probably not, in retrospect," Biden, a lawyer and international consultant, answered. "But that's — you know — I don't think that there's a lot of things that would have happened in my life if my last name wasn't Biden."

Biden added: “Because my dad was Vice President of the United States. There's literally nothing, as a young man or as a full grown adult that — my father in some way hasn't had influence over. It does not serve either one of us.”

You can’t blame a father for trying to take care of his coke-addled, lazy son, but Hunter Biden’s career path is comprised solely of jobs arranged by his father, a sitting United States senator and, later, the Vice President of the United States. Those efforts may or may not have served Hunter’s best interests, but they certainky made him rich.
