Two firms that received $343.3 million to handle advertising for Barack Obama’s White House run last year have profited from his top priority as president by taking on his push for health-care overhaul.
One is AKPD Message and Media, the Chicago-based firm headed by David Axelrod until he left last Dec. 31 to serve as a senior adviser to the president.
So the President's senior advisor is the sole shareholder in the company getting a $343.3 Million contract to handle the health care propaganda.

It revolves around two separate $12 million ad campaigns advocating Obama’s health care plan that were produced and placed partly by AKPD Message and Media, a firm founded by Axelrod that employs his son and still owes Axelrod $2 million.
Sweet deal. Leave a multimillion dollar firm to take a job in the government. Sell the firm (where your son still works) and magically, the firm gets a multi-million dollar government contract that will cover the money the firm still owes you.
Cue the "halliburton outrage" from the progressives in 3....2....1
