Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

From the AP


President-elect Barack Obama's aides have privately asked senators whether Washington attorney Eric Holder would be confirmed as the next attorney general, according to a person involved in the talks.


The talks suggest that Obama is deeply interested in Holder, who served as the No. 2 official in the Justice Department under President Clinton.


In the past week, Obama aides have asked Senate Republicans whether they would support Holder. In particular, the aides questioned whether Holder's confirmation would be delayed because of his involvement in the 2001 pardon of fugitive Marc Rich by President Bill Clinton.


For all those who thought Obama was a "different kind of politician", seems he's just the same old politico in a new suit...


Yeppers... "Change"... "Hope"...


As The Who put it so well in the song "Won't Get Fooled Again",

But, Kate, aren't you in Canada?

So it's OK to do the same thing others have?

I think Kate's assessment of liberals in America is pretty accurate.

All depends on where you live...


Here in MA there is certainly a lot of "he's not my President" aimed at Bush.

Are you sure it wasn't "I wish he wasn't my President".

 


 


I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure

No amd, I've heard it loud and clear...


My spouse has some co-workers who still haven't accepted the results of the 2000 election, let alone the 2004.

Well, I'm not sure I've accepted those 2000 results myself, however that has led to me saying things like, "he shouldn't have been my preident" but no matter who said it, "He's not my president." is just factually incorrect.

You asked me if I had "voiced my disagreement" over "thousands of liberals" claiming that President Bush was not their President for the last eight years".
