Heros need not apply for assignments in Obama Administration WTF.........

Obama's White House: Big posts, overlapping tasks - Yahoo! News
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is building a White House staff so loaded with big names and overlapping duties that it could collapse into chaos unless managed with a juggler's skill.

It's an administration that seems "addicted to czars," says one longtime observer of government organization.

Obama has installed a White House health czar who doubles as secretary of Health and Human Services. The State Department now has "special envoys" for the Middle East, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and for climate change — areas already overseen by other officials.

Just for the environment, along with the new climate envoy Obama has an energy secretary, an Environmental Protection Agency director and a chief of the White House Council on Environmental Quality. Hovering over them all is Carol Browner, a high-profile former EPA administrator in a newly created role some call "climate czarina."


Funny didn't we just go through 8 years of just that --no experts -- czar then where just CEO on loan and wow that was fun. 


Maybe, I am guessing, this reporter would only want sheeple to be
choosen for post in this Administration and heros need not apply
nothing to see folk just the constituitonal, bankin and every other
system failing --no worries our top people are right on



So to this AP reporter, tip of the hat for doin your job, which is guess is now writing tripe like this seeing how he has been in office for a WEEK and you never seem to care if Bush & Co dismantled everything, but the physical White House.

There is a new top Cop in town, Holder, Eric Holder.......AG @ Our Service.


WASHINGTON – Senate Republicans, who acted like lions in challenging Eric Holder, turned into lambs Wednesday as they joined Democrats in recommending President Barack Obama's choice for attorney general.

The Judiciary Committee voted 17-2 to endorse Holder, with two Republicans opposing the nomination — John Cornyn of Texas and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma. The Senate could vote as early as Thursday to confirm Holder as the first African-American to lead the Justice Department.

Committee Republicans and Democrats described Holder as experienced, independent, tough on crime and opposed to torture. Holder has served as a federal prosecutor, judge, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia and deputy attorney general in Bill Clinton's presidency. Senators also said the nominee was an individual willing to acknowledge his mistakes.

On a personal note I have seen Eric up close during a campaign  and I have to say that he is one of the most stand up humans that I have ever known and the voice of reason just got some leg, shoulders and a mustache. I am sure there is a blog about Federal Staches in here...........

btw The bad guys just tinkled in
their shorts.


ps note the @ our service in title --Mr AG we will demand rights from the people's government that are expressed and yet somehow not handed out without a few teeth of federalism havin to be pry'd loose along the way and that is not right and I know you know it.

GOP members of Senate defend torture and block Holder from holding those that do it accountable.

Senate Republicans Delay Holder Confirmation Over Torture Prosecutions
The question Republicans want answered before Holder is confirmed: Will you prosecute those who took part in that torture?

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said that he would block committee proceedings, scheduled to resume at 2:30 pm on Wednesday, if he did not receive answer from Holder. "I'm not going to allow things to proceed," he said. He added that it was "physically impossible" for Holder to get the answers to him by then, thus assuring a conflict would ensue.

Other GOP members of the committee, said Cornyn, are also concerned about the potential for prosecutions. The intent of the Military Commissions Act, he argued, was to provide immunity from prosecution if agents believed they were acting lawfully.


So here is a hint Eric dont hold anyone accountable and you'll get the GOP's vote.
