Robinson, spoke at the Democratic National Convention in 2008. He also spoke at Seattle Magnuson Dinner that year. I attended that event, so far the only member of the Obama family that I have seen in person. At the time of his hiring, The Obama family had for the most part, popularity that, while not universal, superceded politics. Now, after 6 years, the country is much more divided on how they view his presidency. Perhaps this lead to distraction on Robinson's mission. Oregon State now owes Robinson 4 million for the 3 years remaining on his contract.
