A Compliment to Obama’s Decision Making
A lot of people are getting on Obama for nominating so many tax cheats to his cabinet, but considering his friends he had to choose from are all either terrorists, racists, or tax cheats, I think he made the best possible choice.

Do you still beat your wife? …. or are you tryin to quit ?

I have been OMGing all week here at work since these appointments started. All these Dems running around the office like chickens with they heads cut off. It’s down right comical. After 8 years of Bush bashing, the clean as the driven snow libs have a little yellow tinge to them.
Musta been some GOOD Koolaid.

I guess if you want change, take the honest people out of government and install a democrat. hussein is sure starting out well.
Wonder what the crime is of the next nomination. I bet on child molestation.

“Change” is like the word “progress.” Both imply a moving from one state to another, but neither of them imply improvement.

No wonder the dems were all so against the assassination of Sadaam Hussein. They probably had him pegged as a possible cabinet pick for the next dem administration.

Thus explains the nomination of Judd Gregg for Commerce – had to dip into the republican pool to find somebody who isn’t a total turdslinger.

Hey guys, lay off The Halfrican! He’s clearly battling the forces of oppression here…those forces being truth, honesty, experience, and wisdom. Only with our support will he overcome those things, but the good news is that he’s halfway there!
The guy hasn’t even been in office for three weeks & he’s already made a mess of things. Small wonder they were lying about what they knew about the Blagojovich scandal before he even took office. At least Clinton waited a year or so.

Whatever happened to that 42-page disclosure document that Obama had everyone fill out. Did that not work? I totally thought that was going to work.

Nothing is all good or all bad. One the one hand, if give car keys to a silly-headed youngster, you gotta expect him to drive up on the sidewalk and kill some folks. On the other hand, he’s only driving in his own neighborhood so far and has run over many tax cheaters.

One might think that as popular as Hopey McChangerson is, he could find some new friends.
Just sayin’….

Alan, He has so much corruption planned for the next 4 years that he couldn’t wait to start implementing the new Crookedness. If he is going to erode everything decent, wholesome and awesome about this country and TYPE of Government, he had to get an early start.

Blago is still out there and he’s lookin for a job! From what I can tell he’s a great pick for an Obamaniation!

Jimmy: read the article….right on the money.
That’s what happens with affirmative action. You get someone underqualified for a job just because he/she is a minority.
And now we wil pay for it. I just hope they can’t do enough permanant damage before we can get the grown ups back in to clean it up.

Obama promised to put republicans in his administration. Scooter Libby , Donald Rumsfeld , Dick Chenney all would be excelent choices

Cream rises to the top and this is the best that the Democrats have to give but please everybody, we need to, in the words of the old song, “Give Peace A Chance”. I believe that the occurrance of these nominees all having minor tax problems was a fluke or rare coincidence that is akin to certain alignments of the planets. Something like Saturn entering the cusp of Venus with Mars ascending.
This isn’t what it looks like and I know that these people are committed public servants who have absolutely the best interests of the people at heart. Every one of them have felt deep embarrassment and have offered remorse for the oversight. I think we need to give them the benefit of the doubt, accept their regrets and move on for the greater good of the nation.
I feel totally comfortable with any of these nominees leading the country and would hope that others who would be an obstacle to progress and recovery would see that error in judgement and join, not hinder that which is best for the common good.
I would speak more to this issue but I have some reloading to do this evening.

Obviously the only thing these candidates were vetted for was their ownership of firearms.

Daaaannggg Idaho Spud, you had better hide the drugs you are on, cause that one is a crack head and will bogart everything you got.

#4 – Plentybailouts,
You bet that the next appointee’s crime would be Child Molester:
Close!
The assistant autorney general nominee once fought against a law that would have allowed libraries to block internet porn from children using their terminals.
What do you call 50,000 lawyers at the bottom of the sea?
A good start.

Seriously, they can not find someone who isn’t a crook to nominate. This is what the American people elected. I will NEVER get tired of saying
“I told you so”.

Hey seanmahair #22, same here: “Don’t blame me, I voted for Palin!”
I’d gladly slap that bumper sticker on my car if I wasn’t certain that it would get my tires slashed.

What was the subject here? OH? hehe The Big “O” Decission making. I wanna know who in Sam Hill is the Economist Again? Geeeeeeeeeeeeeze!! Is he that dude from…Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?? I dont think they used one. Pelosi and Reid set him up for failure..which I could give a hoot and holler. But, that Spending Bill is not to help recovery this economy. They told him to campaign on Fear that the economy was in peril and it was failing fast. He was the only on that could fix it. VOTE FOR ME. VOTE FOR CHANGE. VOTE FOR HOPE. He can’t produce it. Pelosi and Reid have him in a jam. He caused this mess with a campaign promise and now they stabbed him in the back while the whole country…and world is suffering. They all are vicious criminals. I wonder if that Supreme court Justice Judge knows it. They hijacked this economy and there is going to be a high price to pay. Barrack Hussein Obama is a Radical and it looks like he can lose his cool and become vicious. He is someone who has been very public on the media..everyday ranting and raving. Just wait til he really gets going. It’s only been 3 weeks? Look at the damage so far. So, this is about is decissions? He picks birds of a feather. They flock together!! He should have kicked that Geithner out my his nuts!!! Running the IRS??? High standard of ethics? I’m already reading about people revolting using the same tax code to evade taxes. What a role model. He has not moral high ground or ethics. Like someone else commented. Let’s get these 4 years over. Hopefully sooner if he gets impeached for something. Then the Adults can go in and clean up the mess.
The difference between Reps and Dems… Reps are brought up to work hard for a living even if it means working 2 or 3 jobs. I DO! It looks like I’m going to have to pick up a 4th one just to help pay all the welfare checks and such. I see LOTS of help wanted signs. I hold down a great full time job as well. Just like staying busy. I was brought up with the values of never taking anything from the govt.
February 8th, 2009 at 4:41 am
Attention Dems: This a a funny! LMAO… The Repubicans will be back! We will have a HUGE mess to clean up…and it won’t be so funny anymore. Better check history to see how long Dems held office lately….hmmmm…… And this dude…or dud. what a hoot!! We have 4 years to laugh at you for this stupid choice you made. Not my State by the way we didn’t vote for him. It looks like he could screw up pretty fast here and lose his spot as Mr. Prez!! That will be funny too! Reps always trip them up on that Oath he supposedly took. He said High ethics and he lied. He could get is some hot water for putting ole Geithner in his hood!! We shall see! He is a man of lie and double standards. And you worship him. That must be your values and morals too. yuck! Stay far from my children and family. OMG!! He is campaigning Clean Coal now??? What a dip. You believe him on that too? I don’t care if you have s Dem Pres…If he had real ethics BUT DANG…why did you put a tyrant dictor in there? GAWD…IDOTS!!! Don’t you care about anyone other than yourselves?
