Let him have it, he'll be cowed by the Rich decision and thusly it will be an open door to criticize everything he does.

"Better this loser than Gorelick."

Very valid observation.

[Purrcival]

For the next two years, the Dims are going to spin every problem as the “consequences of failed policies of George W. Bush”, even if Bush’s policies had nothing to do with their problems. And the dumb masses ... say that real fast and it’s still true ... will swallow it.

[DocH]

Another gun grabber with the will and the power to push more gun control.

[Dawn531]

Another reason he might be surrounding himself with Clintonistas is he went to his first security briefing last week and it scared the living daylights out of him, so he thinks he needs people who have been around the block before, so to speak. Goodbye hope and change, hello reality.

"Operation Chaos is working better than expected."

Isn't that something? Part & parcel of Baba Wawa naming Rush Top 10 Interesting People of 2008.

Her interview tomorrow with Rush will consist of phrasing "Opewation Chaos, Wush, was it willy good for Amerwica?" seven different ways to see if he'll take the bait. Of course, his answer will be primo.

well, guess we can expect a fervent effort to end affirmative action now

when does Obama start the crusade to restore the demolished black traditional family?

[SE Mom]

No- you missed my typo:) I MEANT Eric Holder.

Eeeesh- it’s Clinton Part deux..

[Massghanistani]

Wasn’t he originally appointed to the DC bench by Reagan? I’m guessing how this gets spun in the MSM. What a visionary pick by Obama.

[RetiredArmy]

This is rapidly becoming the Klinton III administration. BUT, as we all know, Barryboy does not KNOW anyone except a bunch of college commies, and no one that has actually ran a government, so he had to pull in the Klinton crowd because the last Marxist Party president before Klinton was Karter and all his group are old or dead. So, for presidential experience he had to choose Klinton’s mafia.

[PISANO]

The MSM will ignore the 'baggage' on the Clinton retreads and focus on their successes in a successful Clinton administration.

Could you imagine the MSM reaction if McCain, having won the election as the ANTI-BUSH, then proceeds to appoint previous Bush cronies??

[ohiogrammy]

I know, just as Bush has been blamed for the fall out from Clinton’s policies. Let’s see how many terrorist attacks were there under Clinton and nothing was done?

"For the next two years, the Dims are going to spin every problem as the “consequences of failed policies of George W. Bush”, even if Bush’s policies had nothing to do with their problems. And the dumb masses ... say that real fast and it’s still true ... will swallow it."

No way. The buyer's remorse is palpable, and he ain't even in office yet. Go read that DU thread. I hear it already from clients -- Clinton as SoS, they can't believe it.

This photo from the cover of the Weekly Standard still has a place with the few magazines in the living room.

I leave it there for people to see as it’s more of a visible item than anything. No one asks me about it and there is nary a comment.

It speaks for itself.

Just like this stupid pick by the Obamatron. It’s a toss up whether the person who hijacked poor Elian on Holy Saturday is any better than Gorelick.

Call it a draw.

[atomicweeder]

Holder’s involvement in Marc Rich pardon is unsettling . . . however, I recall that Holder was a nemesis of Mayor-for-life Marion Barry, and that Holder was also a tough law-and-order guy when he was federal prosecutor for DC.

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

I also heard that Obama will announce Matt Lesko to head up the Treasury Department.

[Snork] Nobody more appropriate!

[montag813]

It’s open season on white folks. Expect massive increase in racial quotas throughout the public and private sector, and billions spent prosecuting firms for “discriminating” against workers who aren’t white.

[American Quilter]

Do you think the DUmmies even know Eric Holder is black? This kind of criticism from democrats (”they get big powerful, multi-millionaire white men immunity for mass murder of the poor and the brown.”) is directed only at white men.

[hattend]

Clinton’s 3rd term.

Hope! Change!
