Barack Obama’s Change-o-Rama!
I’m actually starting to feel semi-confident about the Obama administration. I mean… I was afraid he was actually going to make good on his promise of change, and that freaked me out because I don’t like the kind of change he talks about.
Now that he’s more or less assembling a cabinet consisting of a who’s-who of the Democratic establishment elite (also known as Everyone Who Ever Worked For Bill Clinton), I’m gaining confidence he might just be more of the same after all… which means a lot of posturing, chest-beating, blaming Republicans, and then getting nothing done other than making people realize everything Democrats do is either a) dangerous, b) worthless, or c) both.
Hey, how ’bout that Eric Holder pick for Attorney General?
About two weeks before the raid, Tim Russert asked Holder, “You wouldn’t send a SWAT team in the dark of night to kidnap the child, in effect?” Holder answered, “No, we don’t expect anything like that to happen.” Then the Department did precisely that. The day after the seizure, Holder appeared again with Russert, who asked, “Why such a dramatic change in position?” “I’m not sure I’d call it a dramatic change,” Holder answered. “We waited ’til five in the morning, just before dawn.” [SOURCE]
Just to refresh your memory:
Yes. Somebody who thought that was a good idea is Obama’s pick for Attorney General.
Oh, and the guy Obama is picking for White House counsel - Gregory Craig - has a distinguished list of clients:
- John Hinckley, the guy who attempted to assasinate President Reagan. Hinckley’s insanity defense? Courtesy of Craig.
- Ted Kennedy and William Kennedy Smith, who he advised on the Palm Beach rape case.
- Bill Clinton, who he defended against impeachment.
- Elian Gonzalez’s father, who (along with the Castro regime) wanted Elian back in Cuba
- Bolivian Minister of Defense Jose Carlos Sánchez Berzaín, who fled to the USA under accusations of human rights violations and the murder of dozens of civilians protesting the Bolivian government.
- Pedro Miguel González Pinzón, under indictment for the ambush killing of a US Army Sergeant and wounding of another.
Wow. I don’t know what else to say, but wow. Think he’s gonna go for the gold and bring back Janet Reno while he’s at it?
Is there anyone in the history of the Justice Department who hasn’t been involved in that kind of shit? Not to excuse Holder or anything. I’m just driving home the point that I haven’t liked a single Attorney General within my living memory.
Probably not. That said, you’d think somebody wanting to change things might pull in somebody fresh, who doesn’t already have a history of doing it.
Chances are they’ll end up nipples-deep in shit anyway, but why choose somebody who is already there?
Great. Now the image of Hillary/Janet lesbo sex was in my mind last night.
Damn you.

Yes the same people who refused to prosocute Lon Horiuchi and who then made him an instructor at Quantico.
