   thats a great oxymoron!

   they’ll probably just find someone as pro-arab that doesn’t have as much of a paper trail…is anybody REALLY surprised that obama would nominate someone like this?

    Here’s a suggestion, Mr. President:

    You may have nominated this person because of his familiarity with the Middle East. However, you have another potential nominee who would breeze through the vetting and approval process. He is familiar with all the major players in the Middle East. Currently, he is cooling his jets as a “special adviser” to Ms. Clinton without defined responsibilities. I am suggesting that you nominate Dennis Ross.

    It might be counter-productive to imply that it’s negative to throw these people under the bus.

    Shouldn’t we be commending the Obama administration for making the right decision in the end?

    We certainly don’t want the administration worried about “under the bus” criticism as a reason for keeping some of these people.

    Freeman was a very poorly thought out choice as have most of Obama’s Cabinet choices. Actually Obama was a very poor choice.

    It should be more apparent every day that America chose extremely disastrously in November. A little over 50% of America betrayed the rest of us. Now 20% make the rules.

    Pres. Bush gave Pres.elect Obama complete access and offered as much assistance as Obama would want (unlike certain other presidents who snubbed the incoming administration and left thousands of dollars worth of damage in the west wing). Obama said he wanted to hit the ground running after the inaugeration. It seems that no plans were made for our economic recovery, few cabinet positions were filled, and no studying of foreign policy was done. What was he doing all of that time? Did he really just think that all he had to do was show up and make a few speeches?

    happyscrapper : Feel free to quote me. I never post anything that has not been thought out well. It just really pains me no end to watch the Nation I served for 28 years be destroyed by this poorly chosen cast of characters that spent their lives serving themselves.

    Their combined wisdom on the Economy, Foreign Affairs, sound Domestic Policy and Honor of Serving something larger than themselves could serve as a gnats suppository.

    Count me as becoming bitter, clinging to my religion, the Bill of Rights and the Dreams of the Founding Fathers that would have never tolerated this Obanation or betrayal of Public Trust.

    Here are two good reasons for opposing Freeman’s nomination. Both Roger Cohen and Nicholas Kristof of the NY Slimes are vocal supporters of Freeman. Freeman was a tool of Saudi Arabia. He was and is a fiercely antiIsrael guy and he is a tool of the Communist regime in China. He is such a tool that he condemned the Chinese students in Tieneman Square and he even thought the Communist government in Beijing was too soft on the students. He thought the communists should have dealt with the students more harshly. He is also a tool of the Saudi government (the same government that would not allow the US government to protect our troops at Khobar Towers). This guy is just a turkey.

    I guess this is all part of Obambi’s plan to reduce the deficit by saving on salary and benefits. If you can’t confirm them you don’t have to pay them! We could save trillions of dollars over 4 years at the rate his appointees are dropping out.

    Finally a plan to fix government!

    The dangerous part of the BHO Show is with all these nominees dropping out, who is minding the store? We probably don’t want the BHO nominees minding the store. But without the intelligence community up to speed, who is guarding the home turf? Our enemies are watching this buffonery and are gearing up for the challenge Joe “Stand up Chuck” Biden warned us about.

    The sad thing is not he would be tested, but that the other side doesn’t even have to try. The Chinese Navy is pick a fight with our Navy. I can see BHO’s response to be nice and let them pick on us, because they need to buy our debt.

    Guarding the home turf-Obaminites? Self destruct mode initializing.
    Perhaps with He whose middle name is Hussein in the White House all the world will love us again and we can sing “I want to buy the world some coke” and we won’t need an intelligence community.
    Obaminites- don’t need intelligence? That computes.

    May I suggest Eddie Vetter…er…Vedder *(a.k.a. Edward Louis Severson III) for the job? He was always spouting off how much he hated Bush, and he’s from Barry’s adopted state of Illinois. He’ll fit right into the Busload of Misfits.

    Anyone who has paid attention to this story knows Freeman withdrew because he doesn’t bow down to the Israel lobby, and might actually have a different POV that the typical U.S. policy towards Israel.

    That is the ONLY reason he withdrew his name. It has nothing to do with vetting, or lack thereof. Absolutely nothing.

    Funny, that’s not mentioned in Michelle’s story.

    Heaven forbid we have a differing opinion or an actual debate about our relationship with Israel within the administration.

    Have you ever heard anyone go on to explain in what context they were supposed to be taken in?
