Buying Soiled Underwear

For more than a year the American people have been tortured, ad nauseum, with the Obama campaign theme, “Change We Can Believe In.” Republicans... and a few curious Democrats... have asked to be enlightened on the exact meaning of that theme, but to no avail. Their inquiries have been met either with stony silence or meaningless platitudes... most equating to whatever is the anti-Bush theme of the day in Democratic circles.

But now that Obama is the presumptive president-elect we’ll very soon get to see exactly what he meant. (Obama will not be the president-elect until sometime around noon EST, on Monday, December 15, when the Electoral College votes... in spite of the fact that he regularly stands behind a podium in his transition headquarters with the words “Office of the President-Elect” emblazoned across the front.)

Given the unparalleled level of enthusiasm for (and fear of) the Obama presidency, the American people are now fully focused, politically. What they are about to witness is just how difficult the process of staffing a new administration can be... especially for Democrats. Having been through the White House staffing mill on two occasions in Republican administrations, where appointments are most often based on political considerations AND qualifications, I can paint a fairly accurate picture.

obama has no qualifications so we should see many brown alerts.

Buying Soiled Underwear

Apparently ebay used to have this problem. Sickos were looking for it.

Yep and hence the site Ebanned. LOL

Good article. It also indicates that Bush was not a true Conservative. Something he displayed his last four years in office quite well.

Conservative, Traditional, Constitutional? Read The Federalist Papers and use quotes when you write Congress.

Or just google for yourself.

While I agree with you that Bush isn't a traditional Conservative, I also believe Bush's second term in office was affected on a daily basis by the Gang of 14 that McCain had put together. McCain did everything in his power to make sure Bush failed, particularly in the 2nd term. Add the Katrina media coverage to the damage already done, and then losing the House in '06 and Bush folded like a lawn chair every day afterwards.

And we wonder why McCain didn't "fight, fight, fight" for us during this recent election? I think deep down he didn't really want it, didn't really care. I would not be one bit surprised if he bent over forwards and backwards for his new overlords.

As an Arizonan, I can't wait to vote McCain into permanent retirement in 2010.

JD Hayworth said he wasn’t rejecting the possibility of a 2010 Senate run, even against McCain.

For all his talk of change, our man Barry hasn’t done anything but fill his inner circle with Clinton administration political hacks including Queen Hillary. I fully expect Jimmy Carter and doddering old George McGovern to have token roles in his “change” team.

I heard something about that on JDs radio show a week or so ago. I hope it’s true.

[Grizzled Bear]

or do you mean Brown Shirts!

According to the title, that should be "Brown Shorts."

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

“Office of the President-Elect”

That one really frosts my pumpkin. What a presumptive, preening tool Obama is. He's a joke-and-a-half.

It certainly was, but how do we know they were not doing Bush's will?

Wearing soiled underwear. . .

We need Journalism to change its soiled shorts. Get a new pair, sir! and get rid of those skid marks that are today's MSM employees.
