Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


That didn't happen, either. Not only did he not get the State Department gig, but it went to … Hillary Clinton.

And you wonder why I stay in Washington decade after decade.

Hillary Clinton, who was spurned by Bill Richardson in favor of Barack Obama, is getting the job that Bill Richardson really wanted from Barack Obama.

Richardson is going to be Commerce Secretary which is a very exciting job. Anyone know the name of the current Commerce Secretary? That would be Carlos M. Gutierrez.

Nice guy. Competent guy. Seen him lately on the Sunday shows talking about how the U.S. Department of Commerce is handling the economic downturn?

Here's the top item on the Department of Commerce's website on how the Secretary is intimately involved in the Big Three auto manufacturers' bailout: Late last week Secretary Gutierrez and Energy Secretary Bodman submitted letters to Chairmen Dodd and Franks, outlining specific benchmarks to determine financial viability.

I am not beating up on the Commerce Department or on Secretary Gutierrez.

My point is, this is what Richardson got. The notion that he will be satisfied watching Hillary Clinton on Meet the Press every other week while he is sending strongly-worded letters to Senate and House Committee chairs is laughable.

Obama may be assembling a Team of Rivals, but there is no evidence that the team will play nicely together.

It is Obama and Billary. But the Bill is Richardson, not Clinton.

"....first administration...".....WHAAT?
We're already conceding a second term to this filth? How can you possibly even write this...unless you are relying on the "jinx" factor.

Oh I hope you are relying on a "jinx" factor. Just say it isn't so.

How can they not be really anxious about the Supreme Court deciding whether or not to go forward with litigation that could ultimately pop their balloon?

I wonder what the Comrade's political hacks are thinking on the eve of this? I have a feeling the MSM can't hold the story much longer.
