As he prepares to take office, President-elect Barack Obama is relying on a small team of advisers who will lead his transition operation and help choose the members of a new Obama administration. Following is part of a series of profiles of potential members of the administration.

Name: Jamie Gorelick

Being considered for: Attorney general

Would bring to the job: A wide-ranging Washington résumé that spans corporate, legal and national security affairs. Ms. Gorelick (pronounced Guh-REH-lick) was the No. 2 official at the Justice Department in the Clinton administration, from 1994 to 1997, and if chosen would be the second woman to be named attorney general, following her former boss, Janet Reno. Ms. Gorelick would also bring corporate experience to an Obama administration at a time of financial crisis

[Eric in the Ozarks]

A self-dealing traitor. Her bonus was based on fictionalized FM income. She walked out with something like $25 million.

[gridlock]

Oh, you gotta be FReepin’ kiddin’ me...

She screwed up at both justice and FHA.

[ZULU]

She looks like a dyke.

I think she is responsible for 9-11 as she was involved in a decision which kept security forces from exchanging valuable information with each other.

Dick MOrris was on FAX this morning. He said that for aguy touting “change” - the only “change” was to replace Bush staffers with Clinton Staffers and that Obama’s advisors look like Clinton’s.

He specifically mentioned Podesta as a guy who would leak information to the media about Clinton’s inner discussions and policies. Hope Podesta hasn’t learned anything.

Ms. Gorelick (pronounced Guh-REH-lick) was the No. 2 official at the Justice Department in the Clinton administration,

She was number 2 all right.

[freekitty]

She has been around since the Clinton administration doing a lot of illegal things. She was also on the boards of Freddie and Fanny. Traitor is mild for what she is.

[RasterMaster]

“Change” = Clinton’s 3rd term

[Non-Sequitur]

Obama owes Gorelick nothing. It’ll be Eric Holder, mark my words. He was Deputy AG under Clinton, was part of the vice-presidential search team for Obama, and has been a big part of the campaign. The job is his if he wants it. And why wouldn’t he want to be the first African-American Attorney General?

What is amazing is this: While Fox and Megyn Kelly focus hours and hours on whether or not the Wash Post was fair in the election, WOW, Media Bias, I am stunned...they ignore a true story of treason...of Jamie Gorelick...

Here are some stories the Press Should Examine...

The story describing the 17million dollar defense of the AQ Murderers at Gitmo.

Here is Her Profile at Wilmer Hale. Sadly, she is a part of the National Security Group?? ICK!

Here is some of the drivel she has authored...

Oh, you gotta be FReepin’ kiddin’ me... She screwed up at both justice and FHA.

Well, that fulfills Dem requirements of success!

[ziravan]

That woman has to be the biggest jinx in the entire history of the planet. What HAS she stuck her fingers into that didn’t tank, or blow up?

OTOH, she might be PERFECT for the Obama Administration . . .

[cookcounty]

We need to fight this crook, Jamie QuickBucks, with everything we have.

She should be investigated, not running the investigation.

...Haven’t we been on this page before with Jamie?

I hope the GOP members on the committee rip her up.

[riri]

wow.. it’s like Clinton II

Minus one key component...the Dot Com Boom.

[epow]

She is, in a word, a traitor.

As will be most or all of HUSSEIN's appointees. He being the Traitor in Chief, why would we expect anything else?

[OldMissileer]

If the Republicans in the Senate let this worthless excuse for a human being become anything in Doofus’s cabinet that requires Senate confirmation then they deserve to be the minority forever.

If this happens then the Republicans Senators will confirm to the world they are nothing more than lap dogs who want the pay and perks of their office rather than serving the Country and the Constitution.

[bmwcyle]

This is a nightmare.

[GOP_Lady]

Yeah, that’s change alright. The same old and worn retreads.

[RadioCirca1970]

Needs to be asked in confirmation hearings, by one of our GOP Sens. I am not holding out hope. Ms. Gorelick, when you erected the wall at Justice, did you ever forsee the consequences for the 911 attacks?

At which point did you think it would be wise to join the defense team of the Al Qaeda detainees, in light of your creation of the wall?

Would you pursue similar policies at Attorney General?

None of the GOP has the b$lls to ask

[SERKIT]

A few weeks ago I watched ABC/Disney's 'Path to 9/11' (found it on the internet in Bit Torrent format). I now know why the Democrats and the Clintons have banned it.

I felt physically ill after watching that movie, thinking about the possibility of a Democrat win in November - well it it real now.....

Not only remembering the heroism, but irresponsible and criminal acts of those like Jamie Gorelick and Sandy Burglar and the stupidity of Madeline Albright makes me proud, sad, mad, and nauseated all at once.

There is NOTHING....NOTHING presidential about Barry. I can't contemplate Barry making decisions (with Joe) if we are attacked again under their watch. I am quite scared of who Barry will have as his cabinet members (like Zbigniew Brzezinski, Gorelick et al), and terrified of who is in his 'kitchen cabinet', like Michelle-Omarosa or folks like Rezko, Axelrod, Raines, Johnson, Wright, and Farrakhan.

Her Law Firm, Wilmer Hale, has been instrumental in defending GITMO detainees. Imagine, a woman, who is almost singlehandedly responsible for erecting the Wall that prevented the FBI and the CIA from sharing Intel in the Pre-911 days. Then, after we get hit, she sits on the 911 Commission, passing judgement on the actions of the Clinton administration but becoming immune herself from questioning about the wall. Then her law firm in Washington DC, is tapped to defend the very AQ Detainees whom she empowered and aided in the first place. I don’t even need to get into the graft and corruption that she oversaw while at Freddie and Fannie..

She is, in a word, a traitor.

No wonder BO is considering her.

[nodumbblonde]

Depends on what letter follows your name. :/
