Another stellar appointment by Obama.

Thompson = Another Democratic hack.

They need to ask him if he was involved in any way, either as a private citizen, or in his role at Symantec, in the NSA spying on blogsites that included reading metadata behind people's on-line signatures.  If he was, then I'm opposed, and all bloggers here and everywhere should be opposed.  Not prosecuting those demons is one thing; rewarding them is another thing completely.  

From an earlier post...

"By the way....I hope the Police and Firefighter's Unions take note of the GITMO closing.
A complete slap in the face to those who died on 911.
Absolutely shameful, that an American President would be more worried about and have more compassion for terrorists than he would for the victims of 911 and their families."

Relax, J. Merle, and take a deep breath.

President Obama ordered the prison at Gitmo closed.  He never said a damn thing about letting anyone go!

Chuck:
Why not just give each payroll tax paying citizen of the country a $15,000.00 rebate check to stimulate the economy. Forget the banks. Put enough money into peoples hands that they can afford to spend most of it. A person could put a downpayment on a home. Buy a new car or large appliance. Make it enough to actually do some good and it will be spent. Just a thought. Any comments?

Agreed, Anna.  I'd also be interested if he's done any lobbying recently.  I'm already opposed to Obama's bending of his own rules (a day after he made them) regarding the DOD appointment.  I don't want to see anymore "exceptions" made in the name of expediency.

See, we don't consider it unpatriotic to criticize OUR president, unlike a certain other party whose initials are G.O.P.

Why not reich????

Ah, he's black. I was wondering why this obscure CEO was picked.

How can he nominate someone who was previously associated with Bush?  The fact that Bush appointed him to a committee should be grounds for automatic rejection.

This guy is tainted by his association with the Bush administration.  My guess is that he participated in some secret meetings, so we'd better get the transcripts.  If they are available.

Didn't Symantec benefit from the police action on terror and the border incursion into Iraq?

Anna Molly and Jawillie:

You mean it's OK for me to want Obama POLICIES to fail?  That it is, in fact, patriotic?

Damn, thanks for the reinforcement!  I appreciate it.  Your affirmation that I'm not unpatriotic for hoping Obama POLICIES fail is heartwarming and encouraging.

That being said, among other things I HOPE that the Freedom of Choice Act fails, I HOPE that the stimulus package will fail or be drastically scaled back and I HOPE that people will see the ridiculous folly of appointing a climate envoy and that somehow that will fail. I hope he fails to close Gitmo within one year.  I hope that he fails to make even one appointment to the Supreme court.  I hope he fails to lure Republicans into passive acquiescence to POLICIES that they disagree with in the name of "bi-partisanship".

I don't think hoping that any one or all of these things fail means I hope the country fails.  In fact, I HOPE it means that this country is still open to dissent, not just the "right" kind of dissent by the "right" people.

What happens to the "Big Bopper" Bill Richardson? I thought Obama was holding the position for him until his legal toubles were finished. I thought he would name another Hispanic if not Richardson.

welcome to changeville folks

He MUST be clean, after all he donted $$$$$$$$$$$ to democants.  And ONLY bought a very few repubs when it couldn't be avoided.

Maybe if he comes out now and states that he didn't realize he was buying any repubs and it was all just a simple little mistake.  And we all know buying influence from democants is A-OK!!
