President Obama intends to nominate Mari Del Carmen Aponte for U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador. But according to a story reported by Newsmax, Aponte’s nomination is plagued by a shady past. In 1998, President Clinton nominated her to be Ambassador to the Dominican Republic, but she was forced to withdraw over allegations of ties to the Cuban spy agency. According to the article,

…the FBI believed Aponte’s live-in boyfriend was an agent for Cuba’s Dirección General de Inteligencia or DGI. Later named as Roberto Tamayo, the magazine said the FBI discovered that he “introduced her to Cuban intelligence officers at the interests section. He allegedly gave her a ‘loan’ believed to have come from the Cuban secret service - a loan Aponte never repaid. When questioned by the FBI in 1994, Aponte refused to take a polygraph test.

When the FBI eventually questioned her about her involvement with Cuban intelligence, she reportedly refused to cooperate, saying that since she was not seeking a permanent White House position she was not subject to a background check.

Additionally, she appears to have a working relationship with racist Hispanic groups.

She has, in fact, been a superstar within left-wing Hispanic political circles, having been on the board of directors of the National Council of La Raza and the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund.

Obama praised Aponte for her “depth of experience … [Aponte] will be valuable to my administration as we work to bring about real change for the American people.”

When Obama uses the word “change”, it is a code word for socialism. Just substitute one for the other, as the meaning appears to be interchangeable. Truly this administration is becoming a parody of itself with one rabid anti-American after another. Is there any person left in America who doubts the Marxism of Obama and his allies? This is not the change America was looking for.
