Gregg to be Named Commerce Secretary-Designate Tuesday A.M.

It wasn’t mentioned that Governor Lynch is appointing a Republican Senate replacement, because that was a stipulation of Judd’s before he would accept the commerce position.

Obama..Lenin…the same? so says cnbc

Old Obama had a farm E I E I O and on his farm he had some crooks E I E I O with a crook crook here and a crook crook there here a crook there crook everywhere a crook crook old Obama had a farm E I E I O.

Concerned in OH: That would 13 lobbyists out of how many appointments, and how exactly are you defining a “lobbyist” – wrote a letter for the PTA one year? Don’t mean to nitpick, but you have a habit of lying (amazing how Obama got elected after one of his goons carved a B in some poor woman’s face, eh?).
Anyhow, I’ve never been too concerned by the lobbyist issue and was actually a little dismayed about how he exaggerated it a bit during the election. I’m glad to see he’s not falling into the “zero tolerance” trap for the simple minded and am impressed at how he’s been able to find more qualified non-lobbyist cabinet members than any administration in my memory.

” The arrogance, to think they believe they know how to fix things after eight disastrous years so far.”
What stranglehold? The Dow is down 1700 points since Obama was elected. Investors have no faith in your Messiah.
Unless they invest there will be no jobs.

The Democrats have no spine. I can’t believe they’re all agreeing that the democratic governor of NH should appoint a Republican for the vacated Senate seat. Moreover, I think that Obama should stop pandering to the Republicans since they’re refusing to support him anyway. He should just take advantage of the next two years to push through as much legislation as possible. After all, that’s why both he was elected and why the Dems won control of congress in ’06. Why are they tip-toeing around the minority??

Obama is taken advantage of the Republican Party. He shouldn’t pick an Republican in his cabinet. So this means the Governor from NH will appoint a Democrat to the Senate. It is time for the Republican Party to start bring back together as conservative and they will have both control in the House and Senate in 2010. The voters are already mad what they are seeing since Obama took office last month. Obama has broken his promise and lied to the America people. The Democratic in Washington are corrupt and cheating. Obamagate is worse than Watergate. I am glad I didn’t vote for him.

Obama said this would be hard. Folks are so attached to the old petty bickering. It’s really sad. The country is in trouble and people on both sides are still using talking points. This week: Republicans (liberals/Dems don’t mind raising taxes because they don’t pay them)
Democrats (Rush Limbaugh is the head of the Republican party).
Welcome to Junior High School. Only problem is that while they call each other names more people are losing their jobs.
As an independent I believe the more folks who drop out of both of these parties, the better this country will be.

I have almost no faith in where we are headed now. The dow is down another 10% since Obama was elected. We have a tax cheat coming up with a bank bailout plan of all things, an undercover insider lobbyist nominated for HH Resources, a CIA director wth little to no experience in the area, and Hillary trotting the globe. What else will there be?

The problem of having a super majority is all the crazies in your own party come out and start demanding stuff to support you. (See President Jimmy Carter, see President George W Bush) This was Karl Rove’s major flaw . . . he never considered the fact that you NEED the “OTHER” party to control your own.

KMB; My grandmother was a waitress on Capital Hill in the 50′s. She actually had a congressman confide to her that the only talent one needs to be a successful politician is a long line of B.S.

The game of politics is alive and well.

In all fairness, how noticeable could any actions become after just two weeks?? Republicans still stood by GWB after 8 years of mess-ups! LOL! I will say, though, that Obama has spent too much time pandering to the minority side. He needs to just move forward with his agenda and not forget those who put him in office. Otherwise, he will definitely lose a lot of the independents who voted for him this time. Those people tend to sway a lot in their voting, so he should not lose sight of this. Also, admittedly, some of Obama’s picks for his Cabinet are not the best. Daschle is an old school ghost from the past, and what’s so great about the guy from NH for Commerce? However, I’m not so sure about his motives in picking people for his Cabinet to help him in his re-election. The Dems don’t need much help in NH, and Daschle isn’t going to be an asset in SD. After all, as a long-time incumbant in the Senate, Daschle lost his re-election there.
