Obama might as well put Barney Frank in charge of the Treasury and Chris Dodd as Fed. Reserve chairman...(eye roll)

So unbelievable that it is funny. Pritzker is the pioneer of sub prime loan securitization that led to this Global stockmarket crash and recession.

I hope she becomes his “Commerce” person, because when the RNC gets it act together they can start blaming the Democrats and Obama for this crisis.

She is one and the same- also- see Post # 9 for further information on Pritzker.

She and Gov. Napolitano as head of Homeland Security should be enough to make ANY informed American shudder.

And if there was anyone with tons of baggage with which to fry, it’s this one. However, I don’t have much hope that the R’s will take it to her.

up to the Republicans in the Senate to fry her during the confirmation hearing.

Most of them are squeamish, corrupt, or both. However, if DeMint, Inhofe, Coburn, and others who are supposed to be conservative don't at least grandstand *loudly* about the appointment of these crooks, I'll lose all respect for them.

Do the Senate Committee Republicans get to question her about creative campaign financing?

This is the same one in his campaign that had a huge tax lien around the time they were whining about Joe the Plumber’s unpaid tax bill.

If you want to do business under the Obama Administration, you have to pony up. The Corruptocrats are subverting American government.

She may be liason to Iran since her hotel hosted the Ahmadinejad get-together in NY. Secretary of Meetings without Preconditions.

Bingo Gipper....

She is a Jew who hosted the same man that wants to destroy Israel. Is this the end of times or what? Am I living in a paralell universe?

An interesting question for Penny's confirmation hearings... “Are you responsible for the decision to remove all the verification checks from the on-line credit card donations made to the Obama campaign?” Get her on record, under oath, because that activity will eventually be found to have been a criminal activity. And if she lies she should get the same “fair trial” that Scooter Libby” got.

It was you that came up with ‘Ponzi Penny’, wasn’t it? It is a perfect choice of nick-names....lol!

I sure hope the republicans on capitol hill know all this stuff when the confirmations get started..especially the dinner she hosted for AHMANUTJOB in NY!

It all needs to come out in the open.
