Gotta love it:

“Hey, that’s against the law!”

“You’re right. Okay, here’s a waiver of the law.”

“Okay, then it’s legal.”

Leftist scumbag criminals - is there anything they can’t do, that the MSM won’t ignore?

NO! There are no depths to which they won’t sink.

And we thought the Clintons were bad.

Surprising amount of flak from Politico posters
in the comments section at the bottom of the page.

Lord, save us .. end this madness.

Obama has apparently learned well from Chicago mobsters to use the attorney-client privilege to his benefit. Don’t miss the bigger issue that this allows the new White House Counsel to now act in an official capacity for the Bamster without having to be told about personal crimes BHO has committed and without ever having to be compelled to reveal them to anyone. How obvious. And devious. A personal attorney doing govt business.

Ethics “waivers” ARE the essence of the Obama Administration.

We are going to have these really tough ethics rules, but, of course, we reserve the right to ignore them if we so choose.

Hey, could I get a waiver from paying income taxes since that is really inconvenient for me?

Perkins Coie – which paid Bauer $959,000 in 2009 and still owes him $216,000 – continues to represent Obama’s presidential campaign, as well as the Obama family and the DNC. In the latter two capacities, the firm is involved in helping Obama fill out his personal financial disclosure statement, which is due next week, and in fighting a lawsuit filed by the Republican National Committee seeking to overturn laws prohibiting huge “soft money” donations to political parties.

Incredible.

The rules never make sense to anyone in this administration.

STARWISE, please put up the old links on this guy.

http://romanticpoet.wordpress.com/2009/11/13/robert-bauer-and-anita-dunn-spouse-in-obamas-white-house-nepotism-or-political-protectionism/

BTW, Perkins used to represent Pelosi, I don’t know about now.

Anita’s hubby, he’s a @#*!. He was Tommy Daschle’s rep during BJs impeachment, worked for Kerry and fought around McCain-Feingold back in 2004 (he was also on some DNC Voter Protection committee or something, ha). He fought Bush’s DOJ re: voter fraud during the run. Note he brought him on right after the ACORN La raid and charges... let’s say he was well positioned at the right time.

More on Bob:

As many threat letters we received from Bauer re: Auchi, Alsammarae and other individuals re: Obama, Oil for Food, Iraq power deals during the run (on another blog, which was shut down and moved four times btw); YouTube vids and accounts deleted; MSM changing past articles for this clown; threatening radio hosts re: guests and scrubbing the web (thanks for the help Google)?

re: Iraq deals, back when O screamed the loudest against the war

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&q=iraq+power+deal+auchi+rezko&btnG=Search

On his writing letters (outside our district as well, btw), for Rez to build and dump slums and his lie on not representing Rezmar in court cases (notice the source, how things change):

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:eG-JAC8vwX4J:www.huffingtonpost.com/taylor-marsh/obamas-faustian-bargain-w_b_82863.html+obama+lawyer+rezko&cd=7&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

Figures. Just think, like Blago and others before him, Obama ran on ethics.

Would he be able to testify against Obama, should any case come up, as personal attorney or counsel?

Fox News should consider scheduling a special Friday Night or Saturday Morning program, just dealing with news dump items that Obama is trying to hide

Why doen’t obamination just come to full “transparency” and come out and say that any kind of ethics simply have no place in hius administration? It’s not like the msm would ever publish his words on that issue.
