Bob Bauer must be prosecuted. Spending some time in the Gray Bar Hotel would be good for him.
Is that this Bob Bauer???
LOOKING TO STEAL MORE VOTES IN THE FUTURE.
Commission to identify practical, real-world solutions to long voter lines, access to polls.
WASHINGTON, May 21, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Presidential Commission on Election Administration was officially launched today, following President Barack Obama ‘s State of the Union pledge to identify non-partisan ways to shorten lines at polling places, promote the efficient conduct of elections, and provide better access to the polls for all voters.
The 10-member Commission will submit a final report to the President within six months of its first public meeting, which is expected to be held in Washington in June. Headed by Co-Chairs Bob Bauer and Ben Ginsberg , the Commissioners are experts in election administration, policy and procedures, or leaders from customer service-oriented businesses and industry.
“The President’s expectation is clear,” said Co-Chair Bob Bauer , who served President Obama as White House counsel from December 2009 until 2011, and as General Counsel to the President’s re-election committee and to the Democratic National Committee. “The Commission is charged with developing recommendations based on the best information available for administrative practices that afford voters the opportunity to cast ballots without undue delay and improve their overall experience.”
The Commission was created by Executive Order 13644, Establishment of the Presidential Commission on Election Administration. Commissioners were appointed by the President.:
Robert F. Bauer , Co-Chair and Member – Partner, Perkins Coie LLP
Another Obama Executive order.
Its becoming more obvious why it seemed no one wanted to talk about Obama’s past associations during the past two elections.
History has shown that people who live by mob tactics eventually meet their end in a very ugly way.
Once Bill Ayres stated “Guilty as sin and free as a bird.”
That statement can also apply to Hussein Obama.
Oh Well Soon The Wookie and the kids will be off on an extended vacation to Martha’s Vineyard, and Reggie can move in for a while.
Culture of THUGS is more like it. ‘Hooliganism’ my butt.........
Obama has got to go while we still have a country. What are the republicans doing about this???
Threats should be recorded and then plastered on drudge 24/7
I think everyone should carry a cell phone with video recording capabilities as well as a MP3 player with a record function at all times if you are anywhere near the top of any grass roots oganisation...
We need to start documenting these treats and the blackmailing from government oganisations.
Also record both local and to the “internet” at the same time so if they take your cell phone they won;t get away with it...
Will the next Republican U.S. Attorney General have the stones to investigate and prosecute Obama’s thugs for their abuse of power? The first 2016 Republican presidential candidate to make such a promise will have a clear advantage.
You can take crooks out of Cook county but you can’t take Cook county out of the crooks.
He was formerly a partner at Perkins Coie. In November, 2009, he was named to be the next White House Counsel, upon the resignation of Gregory Craig.
Bauer was President Obama's personal attorney and the general counsel of the Obama for America presidential campaign prior to his appointment as White House Counsel.
He has also previously served as the general counsel to the Democratic National Committee, and had advised President Obama since Mr. Obama came to Washington, D.C. in 2005 as U. S. Senator.
On Thursday, June 2, 2011, the White House Press Office stated that Bauer would be returning to private practice at Perkins Coie, and that Principal Deputy Counsel to the President Kathryn Ruemmler (his deputy, in that office since January 2010 and before that since January 2009 as Principal Associate Deputy U.S. Attorney General) would succeed him. The position, because it is part of the Executive Office staff that personally advises the President and is not an agency or Cabinet department or military head, does not require Senate confirmation despite the prominence of the office.
Bauer returned to private practice to again represent the president’s election team and the Democratic National Committee. “Bob was a critical member of the White House team,” Mr. Obama said. “He has exceptional judgment, wisdom and intellect, and he will continue to be one of my close advisers.”
Bauer is married to Anita Dunn, the former director of communications at the White House. Together, they were described as Washington's new "power couple" in Newsweek magazine.

ROBERT BAUER
•Has served as counsel to the Democratic Senatorial and Congressional Campaign Committees for many years
•Became Barack Obama’s private attorney after the latter was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004
•Was appointed as President Obama’s White House Counsel in November 2009
A graduate of Harvard University (1973) and the University of Virginia School of Law (1976), Robert Bauer worked on energy issues for the Jimmy Carter administration in the late 1970s. He has served as counsel to the Democratic Senatorial and Congressional Campaign Committees for many years.
In 1999 Bauer was counsel to Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, working with the South Dakota Democrat to defend President Bill Clinton against impeachment charges. Bauer also was general counsel to the Bill Bradley for President Committee in 1999-2000.
In his role as attorney for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 2000, Bauer filed a racketeering lawsuit against then-House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Texas) and three affiliated political groups, charging that DeLay had engaged in extortion and money laundering. In 2004 Bauer served as general counsel to the Democratic National Committee during the presidential campaign of Senator John Kerry.
Today Bauer heads the political law group at Perkins Coie, the powerful, Democrat-aligned Seattle law firm that represents, among others, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, Richard Gephardt, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Bauer became Barack Obama’s private attorney after the latter was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004. In 2007 Bauer was appointed as general counsel for Obama’s presidential campaign, a project dubbed “Obama For America” (OFA). In January 2009, when OFA merged with the Democratic National Committee and became known as Organizing for America, Bauer retained his position as the entity’s general counsel.
During the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama, who had never made his original birth certificate available for public scrutiny, hired Perkins Coie to defend him in court cases challenging his status as a “natural born” U.S. citizen — a status upon which Obama’s eligibility to hold the office of President was contingent. According to Federal Election Commission records, OFA paid Perkins Coie $1,352,378.95 for its legal services in those cases.
Also in 2008, Bauer was intimately involved in Obama’s controversial decision to break the pledge he had made to accept public funding for his presidential campaign. Bauer and Obama based that decision on their calculation that the candidate was a fundraising powerhouse who would be able to collect far more money via his own efforts than he could ever get from the public financing system.
While Obama campaigned against Democrat rival Hillary Clinton, and then against Republican opponent John McCain, Bauer quietly wrote letters to television-station managers and to Assistant Attorney General John Keeney, contending that Federal Election Commission (FEC) rules forbade the airing of any anti-Obama television ads that made any mention of the Senator’s well-documented association with former Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers. Bauer filed FEC complaints against groups that were seeking to run such ads, and he intervened on Obama’s behalf to prevent the American Leadership Project — a pro-Hillary Clinton organization — from running TV spots exposing the strong support Obama had received from the notoriously corrupt Service Employees International Union.
In early 2009 President Obama hired Bauer as legal counsel to represent him in a criminal probe investigating allegations that former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich may have sought — with Obama’s (or Rahm Emanuel’s) knowledge — to sell to the highest bidder the U.S. Senate seat Obama had vacated when he assumed the presidency.
Bauer also has worked on issues related to Obama’s ties to Tony Rezko, a corrupt, Chicago-based real-estate developer who was one of the first major financial contributors to Obama’s political campaigns in the 1990s. By 2005, Rezko was facing at least 12 lawsuits and was under federal investigation on charges that he had solicited kickbacks from companies seeking state pension business under his friend, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.
In November 2009 President Obama named Bauer to be his White House Counsel, replacing Gregory Craig, who resigned abruptly on November 13 (after having repeatedly denied, for weeks, that he had any plans of stepping down).
In addition to his work with Perkins Coie, Bauer is also general counsel to the Democratic National Committee.
Bauer contributes regularly to the Huffington Post and is the author of MoreSoftMoneyHardLaw.com, a blog site where he writes about campaign finance and other political issues. He also serves on the Journal of Law and Politics’ National Advisory Board; the Election Law Journal’s Editorial Board; and the American Bar Association’s Advisory Commission on Election Law.
Bauer has authored several books — United States Federal Election Law (1982, 1984); Soft Money Hard Law: A Guide to the New Campaign Finance Law (2002); and More Soft Money Hard Law: The Second Edition of the Guide to the New Campaign Finance Law (2004). In 2006 the National Law Journal named him as one of the “100 Most Influential Attorneys” in the United States.
Bauer is married to Anita Dunn, President Obama’s former White House communications director.
