Gregory B. Craig, a well-known Washington lawyer who quarterbacked President Bill Clinton’s impeachment defense, has been chosen White House counsel by President-elect Barack Obama, according to Democratic officials.
Craig is intimately familiar with the president-elect’s record because he played the role of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in debate preparations.
The officials said Obama has settled on Craig but were not sure when the appointment would be announced.

Barack Obama hates black people
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So did O.J. Simpson, but their ‘people’ still rallied to them.
Has Zero named a black yet?
I hear Craig Livingstone also was hired back to the White House, but no one knows who hired him. ;-) Retreads we can believe in.
So far most of Zer0’s change is a blast back to the Clintoonian past.
So will his administration be known as ClintoonII?
It seems like all the old faces from the Clinton regime are getting re-cycled.
Who's really in control .. the Clintons? Global power/money brokers ? Bilderbergers? Beltway or Chicago Machine? Vernon Jordan?
More you read and ponder this election and connect the dots, the more you grasp how 'chosen' 0 must've actually been, and what chumps the American voters are.

Greg Craig, named WH Counsel
"(Greg) Craig, 63, can presumably trace his presidential relationships back to his days at Yale Law, where he graduated in 1972, a year before Bill and Hillary.
After law school, according to Craig’s W&C bio, he worked with Edward Bennett Williams, a W&C co-founder, and went on to represent the NHL in antitrust litigation, Alexander Solzhenitsyn in a libel case and, in 2000, the father of Elian Gonzalez in proceedings involving Gonzalez’s effort to regain custody of his son.
During Bill Clinton’s senate impeachment hearings, John Podesta, then deputy White House chief of staff and now a leader of Obama’s transition team, recruited Craig to represent Clinton, according to the Politico report.
Then, several years ago, investment banker Vernon Jordan, a friend of the Clintons, introduced Craig and Obama. Craig became an Obama foreign policy adviser during the 2008 campaign, and, as we noted in September, played the role of John McCain for Obama’s debate prep."

NOTE: In another "coincidence," Vernon Jordan, staunch golf, travel, and partying Bill Clinton sidekick (( or maybe they've had a rift?? )), and Lewinsky's job recruiter, is:
the great uncle of VALERIE JARRETT ~~ Former deputy chief of staff to Mayor Richard Daley, she's a HUGE Chicago political player, linked to Chicago low income housing debacles, and Obama's long standing mentor, adviser, former MObama boss, and now WH senior aide.

"Barack Obama has been in the Senate not quite four years, and for 21 months of that time he has been running for president, so he is no creature of social Washington. The Obamas are said to be close to former Clinton adviser Vernon Jordan and his wife, Ann." ~~~
In an excerpt from his book 'Make It Plain,' a collection of his speeches, Vernon Jordan looks back to explain the here and now. How the men and women obligated to 'disturb the unjust peace' gave us the candidacies of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John McCain.

"A president should pick a White House chief of staff first," Vernon Jordan tells Bloomberg this morning. Jordan, who led Bill Clinton's presidential transition team in 1992 and is a 1957 graduate of DePauw University, is quoted in a story which examines the top priorities of a president-elect, hours after the election of Barack Obama.
Jordan adds, chief of staff needs to be involved in the selection of other people in the government; that’s the quarterback."
He believes Obama's team needs to be a balance of political veterans and fresh faces, and should include some Republicans. "It has to be the old and new, the tried and true and geographically representative," says Jordan. "And it has to be educationally balanced -- they can’t all come from Harvard or Ivy League schools."

Is linked to Mr. Obama by:
Mutual friends and shared experiences, though Mr. Holder and Mr. Obama did not meet until 2004, when they were seated next to each other at a small dinner party in Washington.
Mr. Holder has said he immediately “clicked” with Mr. Obama over the dinner, hosted by Ann Walker Marchant, niece of Vernon E. Jordan Jr., one of the city’s superlawyers.
Ms. Marchant is a black former Clinton administration official who is also the niece of Mr. Jordan and a cousin of Ms. Jarrett.

Thanks Starwise.
Are you serious?? Greg Craig? This is real change!!!
The news just gets worse and worse. I feel like I am watching the satellite images of Hurricane Katrina aiming directly for New Orleans while the residents of NOLA just continued to live in denial.
I am silently screaming “NOOOOOO!”
Zowie! I can’t wait for the announcement that Jocelyn Elders is going to get another shot at Surgeon General!!
Let me share a little personal experience I had with CAP after seeing Podesta on C-SPAN just after it’s inception: Podesta said clearly that CAP was not going to be a partisan organization so I took him up on that and apllied for several posted positions: well, need I say more, even though he had said he would bring on conservative Republicans, he lied — as always right in front of C-SPAN’s “host” while their finger was up their butt — and neither he nor his organization ever made any effort to do so.
And here I’d decided that Podesta had gone out to hire and associate with the Clinton-appointees and far left newbies that had a chance in a future Dem administration, only to find out that he’s some how claiming to be “non-partisan.”
Non-partisan wouldn’t be called “Progressive.” You would have thought someone would have pointed that out to him. (Maybe the Progressive Bioethics Initiative men and women?)
Very nice post devolve! You’ve got him wrapped up in the ‘creepy’ text, lol.
Thanks for the ping STARWISE. Excellent info you posted.
Thanks potlatch - It looks like mr. creepy has a permanent codename now
Well, for you anyway. Lol. Good job.
You’re welcome.
There’s a lot out there,
if ya dig around.
I know. I’m not a url digger, I leave that to youall and spend hours on my graphics, lol.
Oh my gosh. Seriously? This is nutty.
My husband has been telling me for quite a while that world events, etc. are all set up by a Shadow Government (i.e. Council on Foreign Relations), and that nothing happens without their approval, and they don’t LIKE it when someone tries to mess with their little plans for a one-world government. This is why President Bush had to be taken down. I’ve maintained that he was reading too many conspiracy novels—until now. Now, I am ready to buy us the biggest roll of heavy-duty Reynolds Wrap I can find, so our little hats are properly constructed. It all does look like some giant conspiracy.
Is this some sort of sick, twisted dream?
