This would be like Bush nominating a former oil executive to oversee safety in the drilling industry.

But Obama is a liberal and their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Most transparent Adminstration ever!!!!!!

Every member of Congress is guilty of either
creating this FRAUD UPON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
or guilty of misprision of a felony.

Every member of Congress is responsible for what has
happened, and what is happening.

Perhaps this accounts for the recent run on whitewash.

Some sixty years ago the great author John Dos Passos wrote the novel “Midcentury”, a scathing indictment of the corrupt labor movement of the time. By then Dos Passos had made the voyage from Marxist to a writer of reason, and his book was a shock to his old leftwing pals who were still carrying water for a labor movement that was out of control.

Who knows? Perhaps history will repeat itself, although I am cynic enough to doubt it.

This, of course, will remind us of when Blagojevich tried to sell the Illinois Senate seat and the White House appeared to have been involved. Obama instructed Obama’s staff to investigate Obama’s staff and they determined that Obama’s staff was not implicated, which was clear proof of innocence to the mainstream media.

'Former SEIU Official Appointed by Obama to Investigate Union Corruption'

Okay no FLAMES please. But I'm 'series' this does make some sense. To wit:

When I was a young whippersnapper and learning all my Management 'stuff' in Commercial Construction, the place I worked did some of the oddest things. As in promoting complete slugs to be Job-Site Foreman (not Superintendents).

And when I asked one the best Superintendents the Co had that I was working with -- who was also the meanest sob walking a job-site if he didn't know you really really good -- Why?

His answer made all the sense in the world: 'Who knows better on how to catch a guy goofing off, or hiding out on the 22nd Floor, than a person --Who Used To Do It!

It all became very clear and then made all the sense in the world.

However that answer did give me some pause, as I was was getting promoted faster than Superman could change clothes :-)

I understand the point. He may be well qualified to know where to look for evidence of corruption, but what will he do with that information once he finds it?

I think it's more likely that information will be used to advise the union management what evidence needs to be destroyed and what records need to be sanitized before someone else finds it than to be used for prosecution.
