It seems to me that Obama has gone out of his way to pick the least qualified candidates for cabinet positions.

Appointing Janet Napolitano was a deliberate thumb in the eye to the white citizens of Arizona -- the "kind of people" who vote for John McCain and John Kyl, f'rinstance.

Bet Napolitano tries to go after Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who has been picking up illegals and detaining them, with some kind of federal beef, and get him either thrown in prison or out of office, or both.

The famous "gunfight at the O.K. Corral" was actually a political fight. The Clanton "gang" were the local Democrats (one might take a tip from the name of the corral -- "O.K." was an old Democrat watchword and political tag), and the Earp family were the Republican enforcers whose job was to make the Grant Administration's, and Congress's, writ run in Tombstone to the exclusion of the Clantons. (Who were also adept at rustling beeves -- but that's another part of the story.) Moral of the story: like the range wars around Sedona and the fight in the O.K. Corral, Arizona politics can get plumb rough.

He has surrounded himself, almost without exception (such as Robert Gates) with fellow-travellers who see the destruction of America as a good thing, as they need to see it destroyed in order to resurrect America in their marxist image. They must know they are creating a social and economic tinder box that will explode in violence (for one thing, that will give them the excuse to order the disarmament of the American people, which is one of their most desired goals). I despise them.

Right. What a crew! Richardson was caught in a scandal and withdrew in disgrace, Geithner is a tax cheat, Holder pardoned Marc Rich and the FALN terrorists, and Hillary has a history of scandals going back to her Arkansas days. And imagine! We have yet to see what happens as the next four years unfold! But, come to think of it, we mustn’t forget Obama’s own scandalous past associations and dubious history - I think they all are kindrid spirits!
