Republicans have attacked President Barack Obama’s consideration of Anna Wintour as America's next ambassador to Britain, with some claiming that the party’s Senators would move to block her appointment.

No way Repubs should get in front of this.

Let Obama/Jarrett keeping self destructing. In fact encourage him to replace Geitner with Kim Kardashian. It would be an improvement.

Forward Comrades!!!
