This is not the transition team I thought I knew. (And comedians can’t find anything humorous about this guy).
Anyway, this brings to mind the new defense in tort lawsuits against the fed gov’t. He’s just a volunteer, we have no control or supervision over him. Lib judge, ok, case dismissed.

I wonder if the Obamanites will ever acknowledge they were wrong and are getting screwed by the one?

According to them, getting screwed is patriotic.

In about a year, when the HOPE AND CHANGE has changed to PANIC AND DESPAIR the liberals will blame: Bush, Cheney, Allah, Joe the Plumber, or that unmarried, gay, illegal-alien cab driver in Grand Forks.

It's simple, folks... PE-BHO has HOPE that you will not notice the lack of CHANGE. In about a year, when the HOPE AND CHANGE has changed to PANIC AND DESPAIR the liberals will blame: Bush, Cheney, Allah, Joe the Plumber, or that unmarried, gay, illegal-alien cab driver in Grand Forks.

Excuse me, but I thought that the Obama camp had a 63 question list with no lifelines available? So how could a guy with that kind of baggage get past the ‘Hope and Change’ police?

These ‘concerns’ are resume enhancements. Obama needs an administration that can accept, plan, and execute Chicago-style tactics to make sure things get done favorably. The vetting questions are to make sure that no closet conservatives or people of conscience make their way into the administration who might leak or undermine the Obama doctrine. Communist party memebers, terrorists, domestic bombers, defenders of presidential assasins / Cuba, and hatefilled ministers go to the top of the list.

Can someone please explain to me why the RNC and the McCain campaign didn’t bombard the airwaves with Freddie and Fannie ads throughout the campaign? The opportunity to lay this economic mess where it belongs was so badly ignored and mismanaged that I still can’t understand their reasoning behind the decision. Imagine how many seats in Congress could have been saved and the additional votes for McCain, if day after day ads showed the democrats defending Freddie and Fannie. So frustrating.

Yes, the MSM is reporting on how “tough” Obama’s hiring standards are — yet not a peep out of them about how professional corruptocrats like this criminal are actually running things in “The Office of the President-Elect.”

Beyond sickening.

The tar baby is Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Every Obama appointee in the economic sector seems to have a hand in having made those turn into the spear into the heart of the world economy.

But Obama has to work with his friends, and they were all, including Obama, desirous of having NINJA loans continue…

He should be the target of an investigation, not an adviser to an incoming administration — and his inclusion on Obama’s team exposes Obama’s talk of “change” as a fraud in itself.

I have a feeling, most Obama cult members are too dense and uninterested to even follow these complicated issues (I can hear it now, “who is this Fannie Mae lady they keep bringing up?”) let alone find the effort to be angered over this.

But, it’s okay, they only supported Obama because he was “youthful” and “cool.” Yes, 20 year old college kids suddenly thought a 50 year old in a business suit was “cool” yet they had no idea what he even stood for (and they still don’t).

So, we won’t be surprised or ask questions when Bill Ayers, Rev, Wright, et al volunteer their time in the new Hope and Change Administration.

They’re performing that job well. It’s a volunteer, unpaid position. … So these aren’t folks who are working for me,
