Obaminations
Don Todd, head researcher for Americans for Limited Government, has the scoop on a number of Obamanoms, administration appointments pending approval in the Senate. That some presidential nominations will run into trouble with their backgrounds is nowadays a given, but it's truly remarkable how many of Obama's nominees for senior government positions have been dinged, disqualified, and ditched due to serious issues related to ethics, finances, or some combination. Worse, the drive-by media isn't even attempting to create the appearance of covering these nomination Obaminations, and we haven't even scratched the surface with confirmations for underesecretaries, deputy assistant secretaries, and the like.
Take current Seattle, Wash., police chief Gil Kerlikowske, he of the "Don't Ask" policy for illegal immigrants, who suffered an 80% no-confidence vote from his rank-and-file police officers after a $1.75 million wrongful death settlement, who has been nominated to be Obama's "Drug Czar." Based on Chief Kerlikowske's record, the nomination is kind of a good-news, bad-news situation. It's good news for Seattle, because without Kerlikowske out there, the crime rate is certain to go down. It's bad news for us, because now the rest of the country is stuck with this light-on-crime, anti-gun-rights, no-harm-no-foul-on-pot nominee. Frankly, I'm surprised Chief Kerlikowske's name wasn't mentioned as a possible nominee for Attorney General.

We should encourage obama to surround himself with crooks and incompetants. The Dems are on the road to losing thier control in Congress with their taxing and spending, and as soon as they do lose the House, the new Republican majority can tie obama's hands with criminal investigations of all the idiots with whom obama chose to surround himself, and he will be too busy to push his radical agenda further. Republicans had better get their conservative bearings again, and get behind a real conservative charismatic leader that can win the hearts and minds of both conservatives and "moderates", so obama can follow in jimmy carter's footsteps with a failed single term presidency.
