Obama to name Seattle police chief as U.S. drug czar
Reuters ^ | march 11, 2009 | n/a

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama will nominate Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske to be U.S. drug czar and remove the job's Cabinet designation, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.

If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Kerlikowske would head the Office of National Drug Control Policy, which was elevated to Cabinet level under former President George W. Bush.

The nomination of Kerlikowske would end a long search for a candidate to oversee U.S. efforts to fight illegal drugs. Kerlikowske was long speculated to be the front-runner, but revelations about his stepson's arrest on drug-related charged complicated the nomination process, the Post reported.

So BO pick the police chief of a city with one of the most liberal drug policies in America to be the drug czar. I don’t think Seattle even arrest people unless they have a warehouse full of crack. Now other serious offenses like using a plastic bag or not recycling might get you life.

He is friends with Bill Ayers. I would not be surprised to find he is a friend of "Turd"(Ward) Churchill.

Mike Church coined the name Turd Churchill so I don't want to claim credit for it. I just thought the name fit.

"revelations about his stepson's arrest on drug-related charged complicated the nomination process"

While a person can't actually control another family member's actions; this just seems to fit the Democrat Appointee Script.

Not to mention using incandescent light bulbs.

"Turd Churchill" was not an original thought from me. I heard it from someone else. But you have to admit it fits.

No but defending child pornography is a big plus.
