Oh, and most of his senior staff have now been served with subpoenas.
I can hardly wait for week two.
...And those who weren't served will be doing some sweating...
Emanuel not mentioned in the subpoenas?
“Let’s recap, shall we? In the first week, Obama has not cut taxes — the only proven way to revive the economy — despite promising to do so for “95% of working Americans” (which was almost certainly a lie, but let’s wait and see); signed an order to close Gitmo, certain to make America less safe; and promoted abortion on a global scale.
Oh, and most of his senior staff have now been served with subpoenas.”
AND...he wants to spend a lot more of our tax money supporting Planned *Parenthood* International....the most PRO-abortion group in the world.
Blagojevich and his fellow cattle rustlers deserve a lengthy discovery process followed by a protracted trial and apeals. There should be no rush to justice.
I love Fitzmas.
UN exec picked for No. 2 at Homeland Security
By EILEEN SULLIVAN – 2 days ago
WASHINGTON — A top United Nations official who once served on the White House National Security Council has been picked for deputy secretary of the Homeland Security Department, a move that would place two women at the top of the department for the first time.
President Barack Obama’s nomination of Jane Holl Lute, a retired Army major who worked on the NSC under President Bill Clinton, was announced Friday by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
Napolitano and Lute are the first women to hold their positions. Since it was launched in 2003, the department has had three secretaries, two men and one woman, and four deputies, all men. If she is confirmed by the Senate, Lute would be the fifth deputy.
At the U.N., Lute coordinates peace efforts among countries in conflict.
“Jane’s experience leading large operations with broad and challenging missions lends itself to the undertaking we have before us at Homeland Security,” Napolitano said in a statement.
In addition to her NSC work, Lute has served as vice president and chief operating officer of the United Nations Foundation. She served in the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm. Lute is married to Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute, Obama’s deputy national security adviser for Iraq and Afghanistan.
