2. Obama can nullify all of Chimp's utter stupidity with five word signing statement:

I UNDO ALL OF GWB'S STUPIDITY!

4. He Could ,but that wouldn't be that warm fuzzy bipartisanship we all want, would it?

[peacetalksforall]

3. Can someone please explain the importance of these appointments.

Particularly the Holocaust Memorial - Eliot, Bolton, Chertoff.

How I despise these people - I would be so thrilled if they could evaporate and reappear on a desert island. Let them climb to the highest point and look for ships for the next 25 years.

They deserve no honors or federal money.

So, what do these appointments mean to us?

What's the history of these appointments?

What damage has been done in the past?

Do any on them have security clearance?

Will any of them get CIA or other intelligence briefings?

What kind of danger to they present to Obama?

[peacetalksforall]

5. How many of these people are members of AIPAC, PNAC, Federalist Society AEI, Heritage Foundation.

Are any of them also lobbyists?

off grieving widows and orphans.

6. They all need to be scrapped ASAP by Obama.

Rice as overseer of the JFK center? FUCK that! These people are all criminals, guilty of unspeakable atrocities and misjudgement. This is why the world is shit. Americans will sit on their lazy asses and intellects and allow this to stand. I'm to the point where I can't bear to watch this shit any longer. You do all you can-you march, call, write, fight, cry, scream, pray, and it means absolutely nothing, because so few others give a flying fuck.
