Or will he wisely decide to find someone less connected to scandals and more interested in Justice than politics?

I’m starting to believe he doesn’t actually know anyone who isn’t connected to scandals.

Well, there is always Janet Reno.

…or Jamie Gorelick.

As far as Janet Reno and Elian Gonzalez–I think sending him back to his Cuban father was the best option. His mother kidnapped him from Cuba. His Florida family (Uncles and Aunts) wanted to help the boy. However, his father seemed like a decent person and had a stronger claim and responsibility for the boy’s care and upbringing.

Wow. So you must have missed the fact that Elian was whisked away to a state school immediately upon his return?

His father had no responsibility for him since the state seized that for themselves.

Sounds about right. I just couldn’t have imagined him swallowing all of these friend-of-my-enemy types.

A decent parent would do anything to see his child had freedom. The mother was the decent parent; the father is a useful idiot.

This just astonishes me. Barack Obama is a lawyer himself, out of a big-league legal community in Chicago; lawyers are one of the biggest consituencies of the Democratic Party; and there are hundreds of bigtime lawyers that would jump at the chance to be Attorney General or a chief assistant in this Administration. So why is Obama choosing such Washington retreads with obvious ties to the Clinton scandals? Breuer was Sandy Berger’s lawyer, for chrissakes. Even defended Roger Clemens last year when he lied testified to Congress. Can’t we find any real lawtyers who haven’t been carrying the Clintons’ bags or defending liars and thieves??

It’s the seriousness of the charge.

I remember that phrase launching several Congressional investigations… in the Reagan and Bush I administrations. I think the phrase was “disappeared” during the Clinton administration… And unneeded during Bush II, as it was widely held by the Left that W’s crimes were self-evident, needed no evidence, etc.

Let’s reason this out.

First, look at his picture. He’s African American.

No need to go further.

He’s a lock.

Hillary has a butt load more of baggage than any other nominee.

Lotsa junk in that trunk!

It’s no accident that so many Democrats in high places have ties to Communist-sympathizing fronts and have enabled so many of our nation’s enemies.

Good link, thanks! It just so happens that Trevor Loudon also has info on the Institute for Policy Studies. And for extra entertainment, note the blog comment from Bill Ayer’s best bud, Carl Davidson, who regularly chimes in to pooh pooh Loudon’s research.
