Originalbuckeye on election night 2008: ‘Now all our enemies will know all our secrets’. I hope Romney roots out every traitor in DC and subjects them ALL to the fullest extent of the LAW!
Quickie from Wiki:
He worked as Executive Vice President for Law and Policy at Fannie Mae, the federally-chartered mortgage finance company, as a registered lobbyist from 1999 through 2005.[3] This line on his resume raised eyebrows when his appointment to the Obama transition team was announced, given that the company had been seized by federal regulators.[7]
Before his appointment to the Obama Administration, Donilon was a partner in the Washington office of the law firm O’Melveny & Myers, where he advised companies and their boards on a range of “sensitive governance, policy, legal and regulatory matters.” [8]
Government and political work
Donilon worked as assistant secretary of state for public affairs and has served as the Clinton administration’s Secretary of State chief of staff. Although he has no military experience and worked as a lobbyist, Donilon was “intimately involved in many major foreign policy issues, including negotiating the Bosnian peace agreement and the expansion of NATO”. [3] Donilon figures prominently during formulation of strategy for Afghanistan and associated discussions in Bob Woodward’s 2010 book, “Obama’s Wars.”[9]
Donilon was ‘criticized’ by General Jones who once disparaged Donilon, for his lack of overseas experience, telling him that as a result: “You have no credibility with the military,” according to Bob Woodward’s “Obama’s Wars.” Jones said that Donilon was not good in his dealings with his staff at the National Security Council, displaying “too little feel for the people who work day and night....”. Donilon did visit Afghanistan March 2010 during President Obama’s six-hour late-night visit to the country.[10]
Personal life
Donilon is the brother of Mike Donilon, a lawyer and political consultant who is Counselor to Vice-President Joe Biden. He is married to Catherine M. Russell, who is Chief of Staff to Jill Biden, and they have two children
At this point in time.........I would expect alligators to fly and the Cubs to win the World Series...before THAT ever happens.
“Was Donilon confirmed or is he another ‘recess’ appointment? WHO IS RESPONSIBLE for this sorry excuse for an American being in a position of power??”
In other words, elections matter. We need to get Obama out of the White House pronto.
'If only' he would. A pathetically large 'if'; unfortunately. . .
It would sure bump up Romney in the polls if he came out and said that his administration will dig deep to root out and prosecute any and all criminals in this administration, regardless of the height of their current position. National security is far more important than deference to any previous administration or reaching across the aisle to look like a “fair” and “bipartisan” guy that wants to get along with the Socialists that would drag us down.
But I have very little faith that Romney has the guts to do the right thing.
