The Clinton era, Mark two.
Barack Obama ran his campaign on the promise of bringing “change” to
Washington. Change, my ass.
Obama then appointed Clinton to be his secretary of state, and set about
doing what Clinton would do if Hillary had won the presidency
— immediately restore a Clinton presidency to Washington.
Virtually every major position in the Obama administration is a figure
associated with the 1990s Clinton White House. Most all are longtime
'Inside-the-Beltway' types.
Rahm Emanuel, often called Clinton’s consigliore, will be Obama’s White
House chief of staff. Bill Richardson, Clinton’s UN ambassador and energy
secretary, is commerce secretary.
Clinton Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers will head Obama’s
National Economic Council. Clinton lawyer and justice department official
Eric Holder was Obama’s choice for attorney general.
And the list goes on.
With not one of the 23 senators or 133 House members who voted
against the war in the mix. Over 30 appointees have ties to the Clinton
administration, including all but one member of the 12-person Transition
Advisory Board.
Other Clinton-era appointees include former Deputy Secretary of Defense
John White, former State Department official Wendy Sherman, and
former deputies to National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, Treasury
Secretary Robert Rubin, Defense Secretary William Perry, and Secretary
of State Madeleine Albright.
Also on the Obama team are transition adviser Michael Froman, who
served as Rubin’s chief of staff, and Christopher Edley, who served
Clinton and is married to a former Clinton deputy chief of staff. Peter
Orszag is director of the Office of Budget of the White House. Orszag,
was advisor to Bill Clinton.
The New York Post sarcastically wrote:
"Congratulations to Hillary (and Bill) Clinton -- who seem to have
won the presidential election, despite the official results on Nov. 4."
Yeah, too bad Hillary didn't make it to become president.
She didn't...... Did she?

No Confirmation Vote for Clinton
By Mark Landler
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/20/no-confirmation-vote-for-clinton/
| Quote: | Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s smooth ride to confirmation as secretary of state hit a small bump on Tuesday as one of her Republican colleagues blocked a vote on Mrs. Clinton’s nomination, citing ethical questions arising from donors to her husband’s charitable foundation.
Senator John Cornyn of Texas objected to including Mrs. Clinton’s name in a unanimous consent vote for several Cabinet nominees, scheduled for hours after the swearing-in of President-elect Barack Obama. The Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, plans to hold a roll-call vote on Mrs. Clinton’s nomination on Wednesday, which she is expected to win easily.
A spokesman for Mr. Cornyn, Kevin McLaughlin, said, “this is not an effort to scuttle or block the nomination, but a legitimate policy difference. Senator Cornyn’s goal is to create transparency on all levels of government.”
Mrs. Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, signed an agreement with the Obama transition team, putting some limits on foreign donations to his foundation, as well as stipulating annual disclosure of new donors.
But Senator Cornyn, in a letter to Mrs. Clinton last Friday, said he remained worried that her diplomatic activities would be compromised “unless tighter foreign fund-raising restrictions and transparency protocols are adopted.”
A spokesman for Mr. Reid, Jim Manley, said, “it only takes one person to object to a vote.” He added, “She’ll be confirmed tomorrow with an overwhelming bipartisan support.”
Mrs. Clinton did not comment on the decision. But since she is not expected to resign her Senate seat until she is confirmed, the delay means that the speculation in New York State over her successor will continue to swirl, as Gov. David Paterson has another day to decide whom to appoint. |

It's all part of his Stalinist plot to turn the US into a KGB controlled Communist state!
And he's using all the hardline communist operators like Hillary Clinton to achieve it!
I'm watching for the NKVD to start rounding people up and sending them to reeducation camps. It'll happen soon I'm sure. You predicted it after all.
How could I have been so wrong. Where is Larry McDonald when we need him?! He could be helping the LAPD gather illegal evidence against dissenters just like he did when he was alive. Hard to find a heroes like that these days. |

If you want to disagree with my
Left-Shift = Big-Government-Plus
analysis, then by all means disagree.
But it would ber better to put cogent counter-arguments
than to put words in my mouth which I didn't utter.
| Quote: | | It's all part of his Stalinist plot to turn the US into a KGB controlled Communist state! |
Stalinism, like Stalin, is dead. But the Big Gov. State ideal lives on.
The USA is already a Big Gov State. Just now going to get worse.
The KGB already works with the CIA. (See: NWO)
| Quote: | | And he's using all the hardline communist operators like Hillary Clinton to achieve it! |
No, actually.
Hillary and those behind her are using him.
| Quote: | I'm watching for the NKVD to start rounding people up and sending

I didn't predict it. Not now, not ever, never.
You're thinking of Alex Jones.
I've sneered at such talk.
I did play audio about the ruthlessness with which the "comrades"
were exterminated in Latin American and other Marxist revolutions.
But that's more boring than your distortion.
And I don't advise the cannonization of Larry McDonald as a saint.
But I would have gone for a few beers with the guy.
A lot faster than I'd do the same with Obama.
The arrogant fucker creeps me out.

Did any one else notice how the inauguration attendance figure kept changing?
I heard it was going to be around 4 million, Then yesterday morning they were expecting over 2 million, during the ceremony i heard it was 1.4 million and last night i heard on bbc that the figure was around 800 thousand.
Was it even a record turn out?
Might he not be as popular as the media are trying to make out?

I missed that part of the daily show! I thought Stewart seemed a little subdued though. I was expecting more of the teary-eyed worship I had been attempting to avoid from nearly every major media outlet. Kudos to him for that at least. Such behavior on my part is making me wonder if the tar and feathers are being gathered for me at my place of employment.
Wherever I went on campus yesterday, the inaugural address was being blasted at full volume. Every office, restaurant, and convenient store. This was Norman, Oklahoma. I can only imagine what it was like down in Austin, Texas.

Yeah, this whole deal is "Rosemary's baby" creepy. And all this energy has to go somewhere, it certainly won't be wasted.

Sorry Bill, I'd rather kiss the new Black kid. He has the bigger... "agenda."
Bill's "air kiss" is priceless. This gets funnier the more I see it.
(And in the "weirdness" dept: watch the piece of white paper statically adhere itself to Obama's back. Wonder if it says "Kick Me", in McCain's handwriting?)

With Obama, there's 'ethics' and there's Ethics.
The new president has waived his own ethics rules
to appoint Ratheon executive William Lynn as deputy
to Defense Secretary Robert Gates. This is the same
William Lynn who oversaw the $2 Trillion hole in the
Pentagon's spending records, which was revealed to
the public on Sept. 10th, 2001.
Lynn will have responsibility for budgeting, so the
giant sucking sound is set to continue unabated:
| Quote: | Senate committee approves controversial lobbyist
February 5, 2009 - Adam Levine
WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Senate Armed Services Committee on
Thursday approved all four Pentagon officials nominated by the Obama
administration, including a Raytheon lobbyist whose potential conflict of
interest led to objections to the nomination.
The nominations still need to be voted on by the entire Senate.
Ratheon executive William Lynn was nominated to be deputy secretary of
defense, the number two position under Secretary Robert Gates. Lynn
was given special waivers so that he could be appointed despite President
Barack Obama's ethics rules, which would have seemed to make him
ineligible to operate in that key position.
Lynn was a senior vice president at Raytheon, which has billions of
dollars in Defense Department contracts. It is is the maker of the Army's
Patriot Missile system and the Navy's Tomahawk missile, and is developing
a global positioning satellite communication system for the Air Force. Lynn
oversaw lobbyists and did some lobbying of Congress himself.
As deputy secretary, Lynn would be involved in the process of
budgeting and acquisitions, in addition to running the day-to-day
operations of the Defense Department......
Also approved by voice vote were Robert F. Hale to be Under secretary of
defense (comptroller) and chief financial officer, Michele Flournoy to be
under secretary of defense for policy, and Jeh Charles Johnson to be
general counsel.
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/02/05/senate-committee-approves-controversial-lobbyist/ |
Senator Grassley could be an impediment
to the appointment of Lynn, but we'll see if
his stand turns out to be more than hot air:
| Quote: | Sen. Charles Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Finance
Committee, has left open the possibility of using his senatorial
privilege to hold up Lynn's nomination.
Lynn served as the Pentagon's chief financial officer from November
1997 to January 2001 under former president Bill Clinton. Then as an
executive at Raytheon, the Pentagon's No. 5 supplier by sales, he was a
registered lobbyist from July 2002 to March 2008.
"Mr. Lynn's past performance at the Department of Defense raises many
concerns for Senator Grassley, let alone the possible conflicts of interest
with a big-time defense contractor that have been brought to the attention
of the American people by President Obama's new executive order on this
issue," a spokeswoman for Grassley said.
http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSTRE5147Z520090205 |
Luckily, Senator John McCain is on the team
when it comes to business as usual in the
9/11 blood-soaked corridoors of Wash. D.C.
| Quote: | McCain drops objection to Lynn appointment
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. John McCain, the top Republican on the
Senate Armed Services Committee, is dropping his objection to the
appointment of a former Raytheon lobbyist to the No. 2 job at the
Pentagon.
A McCain spokeswoman confirmed Monday by e-mail that the senator
will allow the nomination to proceed after having received additional
information from William Lynn, who is President Barack Obama's choice
for deputy defense secretary.
McCain's decision removes a major roadblock for Lynn's appointment,
which violates Obama's own rule against hiring lobbyists in the federal
government. The Obama administration issued a waiver on Lynn's behalf
because officials say he represents a rare exception.
