John Kerry must be furious that he isn’t getting this plumb position.

From the Boston Globe
WASHINGTON: More than three decades after he first appeared before the panel as a 27-year-old Vietnam veteran-turned-antiwar protester, Senator John F. Kerry will be named chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, giving him enormous influence over President-elect Barack Obama’s foreign policy, according to congressional officials.

Hey Obama is the first black man elected for President. We are supposed to just sit back and be thrilled that the US is no longer racist..
You dont want to be call racist do you.
Heaven forbid anyone ask any type of personal question of Obama, much less ask for legitimate documentation for the answers…….

Aint it great to have a Black President that we cannot vet????

“Get that straight. Obama is going to be Prez effective 1/20/09, and he can’t be too cautious.”

He doesn’t want to make the one who sent him mad, and the American people are not the one who sent him, IMO.

The fact that Obama has never been vetted makes the entire vetting process a bad joke.

That is how vetting is supposed to work

Where is nObama’s Original copy of his birth certificate?
Where are nObama’s school transcripts?
Why hasn’t nObama been vetted for the highest job in USA? WHY?

nObama is a hustler and the Clintons need to stay far away from him. He has ulterior motives. He wants to control them..Pelousy controls nObama and she wants to control the Clintons…Back away Hillary. He is a snake.
nObama stole this election from Hillary and then McCain with Acorn votes.

Pelosi doesn’t matter, because she is a legislator – thought you guys understood separation of powers? Vetting must be as thorough as possible. Nop use having nasty surprises. And FYI, Pritzker has stepped aside after the vetting threw up some hard to ignore facts. That is how vetting is supposed to work. Bill doesn’t get a free ride just because he is a former Prez. Get that straight. Obama is going to be Prez effective 1/20/09, and he can’t be too cautious. Get used to a different dispensation folks! No one gets a free pass. This is not Bushland and this is no time for triangulation.

All along, what he really wanted was the notice and the excitement of moving up. Not the responsibility. Now that he’s at the top, what’s left but try to control people? Probably a feeble thrill, controlling Bill, after getting elected, but still. I don’t think this is going to work very well at this level though. Now he’s with bigger boys of different leagues and they aren’t going to kiss his *** for future perks when he’s president, they’re going to expect the perks right now and start kicking his *** if they don’t get them. I can’t wait. There are petards and boobies standing by them all over the place, and Bill isn’t one of them.

And how many times has this bait and switch been done re Hillary? With the same old lines, no less!

Repetitive abuse syndrome, imho.

Indeed — the creepiness of the 0 gang — welcome to Chicago politics.

Obama projects onto others his own crimes of omission. The sucker was never vetted.

My theory — he has the “fragile male syndrome” — Big ears and ——— are symptoms.

He hasn’t released more than a one page summary of his medical history — why?

Could it be that the reason he demands detailed information from others is because he knows what he is hiding.

ROLC, you got that exactly right (no pun intended.) If there ever was an ex-prez that SHOULD be told to shut-the-eff-up, it was JEC. This is just the latest absurdity in what will probably be a long list of absurdities occurring over the next 4 years. Welcome to Obamaland, everyone! Keep your ass-hat handy because it’s gonna be raining sh*t soon!

Pritzker took herself out of the running for Commerce Secretary. She could not pass the vetting and admitted it. None of those friends of Obamas will be able to go through the vetting process and
get clearance. Isn’t that just plain amazing bullshit. Obama makes me want to puke. I hope Hillary does not accept SOS, I think she is making a huge mistake if she does. Now Obama is saying that Hillary might be setting him up to look stupid, more bullshit but go Hillary, I hope you do set him up. He deserves it – Let Judas Richardson be appt. SOS. The only thing is our country’s security is at stake. A tough call here for our girl Hillary.

Thank you Rob G for this scoop from The Sun, a revelation that the guy from Germany was at best half an Uebermensch, a Hemi-Superman, a Halbuebermensch:

Until now there has never been complete proof Hitler was monorchic – the medical term for having one testicle.

As for whether or not this characteristic is shared by Mr. O, well, I guess we’d have to ask . . . No, I’d better not go there. I personally doubt he is “monorchic,” though he certainly has pretensions of being “monarchic,” and “half-nuts” would be a measured description.

If the muzzle was never slapped on Jimmy Carter, no muzzle can possibly exist.

This is absurd. If President Clinton goes around saying things or associating with people that undermine his wife as SoS, then she is going to get in his face like nobody’s business. If President Clinton causes great conflicts of interest with the administration, then President Obama can fire Hillary as SoS. The situation polices itself.

Obama needs to let a former two-term president exercise his own judgement with regard to his own activities and how they impact the United States and it’s leadership. Unless, of course, he wants to set them both up so he can knock them both down simultaneously. I can’t imagine BO would do that.
