Yet another infuriating and anti-American move from the ruling communists.

Andy McCarthy at NRO notes [ here ]:

The White House has announced that Mari Del Carmen Aponte will be nominated by the President to become the U.S. ambassador to El Salvador. Aponte is a former director of the radical Mexican organization La Raza and of the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education fund. (More from Judicial Watch, here.)

This is the second time she's been proposed for an ambassadorship. The first didn't go so well. President Clinton nominated her to be ambassador to the Dominican Republic but, as detailed on Andrew Breitbart's Big Government, it turned out that she had "co-habited" with an agent of the Cuban intelligence service. In fact, a confidential U.S. intelligence memo alleged that she had been recruited to become a Cuban spy in her own right. The revelations caused her nomination to be quietly withdrawn ... whereupon she reportedly refused to answer questions from the FBI (saying that since she was no longer seeking an executive branch slot, she no longer needed to cooperate in a background security check). Now, despite that debacle, and heedless of the controversies stoked by Van Jones, Kevin Jennings, et al., Obama wants to press ahead with Aponte.

Maybe you don't buy my theory that the President is an Alinskyite radical, but I still think annointing him a neocon based on his Oslo performance may be a tad premature.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but can she really do too much damage sequestered down there as ambassador to ES? Might be a good opportunity to catch a nasty, tropical illness as well.

How charming. So Fidel would get a bona fide agent to help his buddies in El Salvador finally get back in power, and make it yet another client state of the island jail.

Just lovely. Why would such a person be in the government of the United States?

This “man” in the White House is not the president of the United States.
