Not surprising. The unelected, faceless bureaucracy makes about 95% of the policy decisions in this country. The President can't keep up with every one.

Now this is what you call "bad staff work." Dubya should have known about this. How could the White House staff not known what the likely reaction would have been? Good Lord.

The President also admitted that he did not know Lonetta Menefee was promoted to regional manager of the Akron district of the US Post Office, despite the fact that the Postmaster General reports directly to the President!
What is wrong with this administration!

Bush knew! I don't know what Bush gains off this deal, but the Republican party is liable to be gutted and the Democratic majority will return to Washington. Damn!
Right now I feel the same way I did when Nixon became culpable for Watergate.

"not under my watch"
lets give a serial rapist the care of our 14 year old. sure he has done his time, paid his debt to society, but there is a higher probability of regression to his same old ways.
this may be fine and dandy for today. what is the probablility that the organizations are hijacked just like aircraft on 9/11?
To: Kaslin
Let the light shine in! More financial dealings will come to light. The congress will get to beat it's chest like it really does care or do anything to seal the ports or borders. /

I wish these one shot soldiers would save their vitriol for our real enemies like Iran and Syria.
Sheesh.

Its not jump off the bridge time yet. We can still recover if we show some unity here but it better be quick.

We can still recover if we show some unity here but it better be quick. Instead of unity, how about just some reasonable research and discussion?
Nahhhhhh, can't have that, can we?
