   Shouldn’t we wait for Obama to actually pick Locke before we call it a mispick?

   Like I said in the last Locke poll, it looks to me like Obama has gotten his list of potential appointees from the IRS investigations lists.

   Yikes. Locke must have trouble every morning he picks out his clothes, getting all those skeletons back in the closet must be a biatch.

   I agree, Truesoldier. Of course, with Donks, misdeeds are resume enhancements!

   Well, I think he fits right in with the rest of the crooks (and liars).

   Perhaps. However, the MSM is busy hyping him up before he’s even officially picked, so it cuts both ways.

   awww, poor widdle Locke is being picked on before he is nominated…. awwwwwww …. Certainly not being treated as Republicans have historically been treated when considered for appointment( sarc). I say screw the high road and go after libs when you can as often as you can. Politics of personal destruction?… you bet…. throw Alinsky’s strategy back at them.

   I would love to see the vetting questionaire that the Obama administration is using:

   Have you ever been investigated for a felony:

   No – 1 point
   Yes – 2 points
   Yes, but I did nothing wrong – 3 points
   Yes, but I didnt get caught – 4 points

   Is this question preceded by “Do you pay your taxes?”

    Maybe the administration has given up and is using the public commentariat for vetting.

    Sure, and what will your reaction be if he does pick Locke?

    It’s been said before – by Treacher, IIRC – but bears repeating:

    Q: “What’s the difference between Obama and Jesus?”

    A: “Jesus could assemble a cabinet.”

    Either Obama’s vaunted vetting team is incompetent, or, like most of the rest of his smartest and most brilliant ever administration, both incompetent AND corrupt. Must be tough looking for “clean” Dems these days, maybe he should go back to Chicago and poke around. Wait. That’s a bad idea too…

    As is usually the case, they have leaked his name to get all of the negative stuff out beforehand. If he’s got too much baggage, they will simply call the rumor unsubstantiated and then float another name.

    We owe the President a huge thank you. Like a pig sniffing out truffles, he has an uncanny ability to uncover Democratic corruption. No Republican has ever been as good at it as he is.

    chap: Why should we let Obama pick Locke when he has already picked the lock on the Cabinet to let the other thieves in?

    Why wait? Remember we are the ones who all embraced the Principle of Preemption.

    I am thinking that Obama can’t find anyone real competent for this post. I bet most CEO’s are running away from it as fast as possible. I bet many are not even returning the phone calls from the selection committee. This is proof that the Dems have no bench strength here for a post like this. I think Obama’s cabinet might be one of the first in history to lack anyone with a CEO background.

    Regarding his Homeland security secretary pick, Did you all know that Phoenix is the 2nd highest kidnapping capital in the world behind Mexico City? The illegals in Phoenix have created a whole new industry out there and this happened under this governor’s watch who is now going to head up Homeland security? What a joke!!!!!!

    True. And to MM’s credit at least here there is actual, verifiable evidence.

    This is very much like how they ran the campaign. We’ve seen signs that Pres. Obama is still in that mode.

    This is turning down right embarrassing for him, but the MSM will do their best to divert attention from the fact that his party has a substantial majority in both houses and he still cannot fill his cabinet.

    What I rmemebr is democrat govt. with plenty of taxes ruining the biz environment in our state. We lost Boeing HQ during Locke’s terms.

    So, he threw them a big tax break – good for him!

    Locke sure has the Everett (WA) Herald in his pocket. They wrote an extremely fluffy, puff piece on him here

    They obviously did not do any real research…

    It’s already a done deal. Why do you think Hillary was in China the other day? She was brokering the sale of our children and grandchildren and part of the agreement was putting Chinese expatriate Locke in place to oversee the transaction.

    Michelle Malkin…doing the vetting the MSM won’t do. I do think, however, that MM should wait and dump this all on the blog after the nomination is made public. That way, Obama is embarrassed once again, and the media will have more work to do to spin it into a positive for him.

    This whole Locke pick thing sorta makes a fella wonder who was offered what? Kind of a Blago-type deal? I mean, why else would the empty suit in the WH have this ‘tard’s name on any kind of short list for any nomination?

    Chumps.

    Actually, I think “Team Obama” is probably leaking this stuff to Michelle to see what she can dig up because “Team Obama” obviously couldn’t vet Charles Manson or Hannibal Lecter.

    They should have thought of this before the nominated Geithner, Daschle, Solis, Clinton, etc. It would have saved them some difficulty.

    The Eastern Washington paper, the Yakima Herald also wrote a fluffy article on Locke. It also ran a political cartoon on how the GOP is only concerned with the Fairness Doctrine. The cartoon also illustrated how the GOP had its head in the sand on the state of the economy. This paper is a very liberal and hates anything conservative.
