Not a Pretty Picture
Posted by: Carol Platt Liebau at 3:26 PM
Supreme Court Justice Hillary Clinton?  Secretary of State John Kerry?  How 'bout a lot of people (and small businesses) seeing their marginal income tax rates double?

Those are some of the outcomes predicted under an Obama presidency.

Perhaps one of the more interesting predictions is made by Mark Siegel, a former Democratic National Committee executive director.  He says President Obama would create a brand-new Volunteer Youth Network. 

It's not clear what that is, but given Obama's ties to ACORN -- and his work with Bill Ayres to radicalize schoolchildren in Chicago -- it's hardly reassuring.  What, exactly, would Obama's network be "volunteering" to do?

John "LaRaza" McCain
Yeah, Leiberman for Sec of State, Gore Energy Sec, Andrew Cuomo for I forget what, and an assortment of other Dem libs... Yeah, McCain offers a tantalizing alternative to Obama.

Give it a rest Carol. Can you tell us good things about McCain instead of all of this fear-mongering and race-baiting against Obama? Of course not. There is NO defense for McCain being the GOP nominee.

CHIEF Justice Clinton?
I've been wondering if Obama can replace Roberts with Clinton (or whoever -- Barney Frank, Michael Moore) as Chief Justice. True, he can't throw Roberts off the court (yet), but what if he nominates Clinton as Chief Justice when someone else retires and the Congress confirms it? Will she then be Chief?

Re: Not a pretty picture
there is a defense for McCain being the GOP nominee. He is not a Marxist like the other guy.
And I ahve a sugestion for Mr Obama's cabinet: Bill Ayers for Sec of Homeland Security. He would be great in catching terrorists, after all, it takes one to know one.

Uh...

Wasn't Hilary Clinton disbarred?

I thought that disqualified you from being on the supreme court.

I think this post is a little alarmist. But here's a ha-ha for you, Carol.

JUST IN: OBAMA WILL NOMINATE LIL' WAYNE AS SEC. OF TREASURY and 50 CENT AS SEC. OF DEFENSE.

On the stump Obama stated "Clearly Lil Wayne's ability to sell that many records about how much money he has gives him a definitive understanding of the ecomony," Obama said to cheers and quickly pivoted to his new, strong stance on national security "And 50 Cent has been shot nine times," said the Senator, anyone who can survive that kind of combat certainly understands national security".

Hey. I thought Gore was going to be Mac's AGW Czar. Energy Sec too. I guess if Mac wins Al will apply his mega talents to AGW and energy production just like when he invented the internet. Come on Libs, you should be loving McCain. Why all the fuss? Either way the you win.

I really like Mac's mortgage bailout plan. Bill paying fools, such as I, get the shaft while the illegal alien family next door gets their hacienda reduced in value along with their monthly payment, which drives down the value of all the homes in the 'hood and me and mine get stuck paying our original monthly amount for a home in which we will never again have equity. Great plan! I can't wait to vote. Oh yeah, I forgot he wants to tax my health insurance premiums. Since I pay no tax on the prems now, I can't wait for that plan to go into effect too. Uh, how is Obama worse than McCain again? Just askin'. Thank you GOP RINOs. You sure know how to pick 'em.

What would we need an Energy Sec for if we have a Global Warming Czar? McCain would also appoint major Obama contributor Warren Buffet to Treasury Sec.

Go Bob Barr!

Is that a rhetorical question? :) Yeah, I love Mac's cabinet dream team. Say, remember way back early this year? Weren't there people who were insisting that Mac WASN'T a lefty? LOL

Get a Clue
Obama will NOT put any Clinton into anything that has to do with him! I believe Ms Michele detest Hillary, because, her and Hillary are so much alike, two women who walk around angry and feeling they are being picked on, either because one is a woman and one is black, listen closely to Michelle she has said it more than once this country is racist in the way she uses her words, Hillary is just a plain out and out angry woman! I must say Hillary would have been a better president than Obama, at least she has the experience to know what happens in the World!
Obama will not put into his cabinet who you think he will, he will not surprise me who he chooses, but he will surprise many people who wanted to vote in the first half black president, I bet the people who chooses will be many people who a lot of Americans have not heard of!
Beware Americans of Who you put into Office!
This may sound a little crazy, but I think Wright, Ayers and Farrakhan will play a bigger role than many might think
Think about it!
I think a lot of people need to go back if it hasn't been taken off, and read what Wrights church supports and what they are all about! His church isn't about a normal church!
It is the church Obama went to and Michelle has a love for! start there and you will find out more about Obama than you might want to know.

The race card is dealt by Pas Phil
Pasadena Phil,

Yes, of course, any time someone presents any criticism of Barack from On High, no matter how significant, then that person is race-baiting. You probably believe that if Obama is not elected, then this must be a racist country, right?

Those are arguements which comes from someone who does not have any effective debating points.
