Barack Obama has selected Gregory Craig as White House counsel, a move that will recall some controversial legal cases over the last few years. Craig has plenty of experience in politics as well as the courtroom, having served as Bill Clinton’s legal counsel during the impeachment hearings. Craig flipped from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama early in the primaries, and Obama has repaid his support — but Craig’s caseload will raise a few eyebrows:

Gregory B. Craig, a well-known Washington lawyer who quarterbacked President Bill Clinton’s impeachment defense, has been chosen White House counsel by President-elect Barack Obama, according to Democratic officials.

He defended Elian Gonzalez's Father, Clinton during the impeachment, John Hinckley Jr., Pedro Gonzalez Pinzon ( Panamanian legislator wanted for murdering an American soldier ), and Kofi Annan during the KOil-for-Food Scandal.

CUBANS IN FLORIDA ALERT!

Wasnt' Greg Craig the liar, er, lawyer, who worked hard to send Elian Gonzalez back to the loving arms of inFidel Castro?

Now he represents BHO. Nice.

Craig is a perfect fit for the O team.

All traitors, miscreants, and trial lawyers line up for positions in his administration.

Guess those Cuban Americans who voted O are happy now.

[Carley]

Did I read that Craig was also the attorney for Kofi Anan in the oil for food scandal?

Hinckley is not an assassin, thank God. I realize he is an attempted assassin, but I think that is a distinction WITH a difference, I don’t know wy.

More of the Same we can believe in...

Another white dude. What does The One have against black folks?

After he picks Louis Farrakhan as Attorney General, Jesse Jackson as FBI Director, and Colon Powell as CIA Director, I'm sure you'll change your tune...

Shouldn’t that be LARRY CRAIG?.....................

For a writer to say something twice is poor form, to say it three times is just plain bad writing.

[Link doesn't work.]

Anywho, O'Bammy prolly picked this guy because Stalin's lawyer is dead, Castro's only speaks Spanish and Ramsey Clark is busy.

a.) Link doesn’t work, ‘obamahood.org’ appears to be down for the count.

b.) What ‘assassin’ did this Clinton mouthpiece represent anyway?

[numberonepal]

The only one remotely possible is Powell, but I’ve heard he wants Powell for Education. (I know that’s weird, but that’s what I heard).

"b.) What ‘assassin’ did this Clinton mouthpiece represent anyway?"

John Hinkley Jr.

[mkjessup]

“Assassin” was above his pay grade.

Johnny was only an ‘attempted’ assassin.

[Impy]

A blast from the past! I remember this guy being made fun of for his stupid name.
