Obama Nominates Tea Party Senator's General Counsel As US Attorney

[Chimichurri]

Source: Dan Froomkin Huffington Post

what is known about Barlow is that he has no significant criminal law experience -- he was a corporate lawyer practicing pharmaceutical defense, toxic tort and product liability law before starting to work for Lee in January -- and he's a registered Republican who contributed $300 to Obama's opponent, Sen. John McCain, in 2008.

The end result is that Obama, in many cases, is working off a list of candidates drawn up and considered acceptable by Republicans, rather than the other way around.

10. How exactly DID Keynes fail, troll?

[MissDeeds]

9. And Obama should win the Democratic nomination

for president? With this kind of crap happening over and over again? No way is he in our camp. This has to stop. This is unfreaking believable.

:banghead: :wtf:

[rasputinkhlyst]

11. PRIMARY THE DINO

He needs to go.

[Cobalt Violet]

12. Shocker! A repuke nominates a repuke!

:eyes:

[MissDeeds]

17. +1

It's getting more and more difficult to say he's one of us when all the evidence says otherwise.

[roguevalley]

39. he really is pathetic. he knows he has us over a barrel because its

us or those crazy fuckers so now he doesn't even have to pretend. God, this SUCKS ASS!

[earcandle]

14. I am thinking even Rosanne Barr is smarter that this...

[roxiejules]

15. Barlow donated $4800 to Mike Lee's campaign

so one would assume he holds similiar views as the Tea Party.

16. Lovely.

[Weird Liberal Head]

18. WOW...

how much of a traitor to the Democrats IS Obama? I hope Ralph Nader's right about a primary challenge...

[24601]

25. Yeah - after all primaries never help the other party. I recall how

President Carter, in his 1983 State of the Union, spoke about how the Kennedy challenge made him a stronger candidate and kept Reagan out of the WH.

[santamargarita]

19. We have to primary this guy!

[MissDeeds]

20. +1000

As I said up thread, he is not one of us. We can't stand by and let two Repubs run for president.

[Pab Sungenis]

21. ..

[Poll_Blind]

23. LOL, TOO TRUE.

PB

[Lorien]

36. Lol!

One has to laugh, otherwise we'll cry.

[abelenkpe]

22. WTF?!

Please tell me someone has the ability to block this nomination.

[democrank]

26. More change I can`t believe in.

[Itchinjim]

27. Old news. This has been posted numerous times since Wednesday

And each time it provokes an outrage storm among the easily outraged. Jesus you guys need to be less obvious.

[Lorien]

37. So you side with the Teabaggers, eh?

Not surprising.

[SidDithers]

45. +1...nt

[Rex]

47. "You guys"...you need to get a life.

Does it hurt much? :eyes:

[Tx4obama]

28. Obama has made OVER 1000 appointments. And folks are getting outraged over 'ONE'?

This is laughable.

Where were all the people giving President Obama for the other 1000+ ???

In order to get a nominee (for a red state) there must be enough votes in the Senate.

Obama can't force liberal nominations onto red states when they don't want them.

31. What percentage of economic terrorists is OK with you, then?

The gymnastics you have to do to keep justifying bad decisions by Obama...

:rofl:

35. I used to say that repugs would defend Bush if he wrapped a baby in the flag

doused it in gasoline and lit it on fire in Times Square....never thought that I'd live to see the day when people on our side were just as self deluded. :-(

[Bluenorthwest]

42. The other appointments are not the subject at hand.

You should speak your mind on this appointment, the subject at hand, rather than using the Palin method, 'when asked a question you do not like, simply answer another question instead'. Hey, what about the Tea Bagger appointment? " Well what about the other ones?" Pitiful evasion.

[mmonk]

30. Afterall, a list suitable with us is out of the question.

[dbt]

33. Wow, couldn't have this on the front page, could we?

Might make dat ole Big Money nervous sho nuff. Best move it off to Genital Destruction.

:evilgrin:

[Chimichurri]

40. Ha Ha.

Genital Destruction. :toast:

cute!

[NoodleyAppendage]

38. What should we expect from a Republican President?

I'm not surprised in the least. He's just following his heart in these decisions.

41. Conservatives stick together

simple.

43. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like, oh fuck ...

How much more shit do we have to take before we call a spade a spade.

46. Oh look, it's this thread again...nt
