Steinberg, James B. - Dean of LBJ School of Public Affairs at Univ. of Texas; former Deputy National Security Advisor (1997-2001); State Dept. Policy Planning Director (1993-1997); frequent Bilderberger; Council on Foreign Relations; Trilateral Comm.; former Vice President and Director of the Foreign Policy Studies Program, The Brookings Institution

Judging from O’s other pics, there seems to be a pattern developing here. The NWO crowd.

The Obama-voting suckers did get the change they voted for. The wanted the Republican Administration to change back into the Clinton Administration. Wish granted (for them), hell for us.

"Steinberg must be an UBER LEFTY....."

His original appeal to the Obama team was his "get out of Iraq now" advocacy. That's probably what did him in later in the cycle.
