Culture of Corruption: Not so fast there, Carol Browner

The Obama Culture of Corruption won’t be the same without her. But the question is: While lying, eco-radical czar Carol Browner may be stepping down (Politico has the scoop), does it really mean she’s stepping out of the inner circle?
Word has it she may have lost out to health care czar Nancy DeParle for the coveted deputy chief of staff position (As I’ve previously reported, DeParle’s got her own set of baggage).
In any case, it’s a Pyrrhic victory unless the Republicans are able to hold her accountable for all her dirty green deeds.
My archives are stuffed with Browner’s power-grabbing, transparency-undermining, science-distorting antics that stretch across two Democratic administrations. She and her energy lobbyist husband Thomas Downey are immovable Beltway fixtures — and it looks like she has no plans to leave D.C.
More via NYT:
Carol Browner, who has served as President Obama’s top environmental adviser in the White House, will leave the administration soon, a senior White House official said Monday night. Carol Browner, White House director of energy and climate change policy, in December.Alex Wong/Getty Images Carol Browner, White House director of energy and climate change policy, in December.
Ms. Browner had been viewed as a close adviser to Mr. Obama in the White House. A veteran who was administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency under President Clinton, her name was floated as a possible candidate for a deputy chief of staff when Rahm Emanuel departed to run for mayor of Chicago.
But that talk faded after Mr. Emanuel’s job went to William Daley, another cabinet secretary under Mr. Clinton. And Ms. Browner’s chief portfolio — climate change — appears headed toward the back burner in the wake of the Republican gains last fall.
In a news conference just days after the November elections, Mr. Obama all but conceded defeat on his efforts — led by Ms. Browner — to get a comprehensive energy bill through the Congress.
Proving they live in Bizarro World, the Times performs this nifty bit of P.R. work on Browner’s behalf:
Ms. Browner was praised for her work during the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico last summer, a performance that was said to have increased her stature in Mr. Obama’s White House.
WHO praised her — other than the NYTimes, I mean?
An increasing number of Democrats have raised their voices against Browner’s War on Carbon.
She infamously bullied auto execs to never put down anything in writing ever.
Obama’s own oil spill commission singled out Browner for misleading the public and “contributing to the perception that the government’s findings were more exact than they actually were.”
And her BP data doctoring was under fire by both Senate and House Republicans.
The GOP must not let her slip out the door quietly without answering for her abuse of power under oath and in the full light of public hearings.
I’ll withhold my usual “DLTDHYOTWO” until such time.

It’s all just musical chairs. All members of the ruling class remain connected to those in power. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t get their kickbacks for favours done.
Browner is a lying political hack.
If you cannot recognize that, you are a moron.
The GOP doesn’t seem to collectively possess a pair.
She needs to be on the GOP hot seat in Congressional hearings for the next two years. I want to see her “credibility” destroyed.
The GOP doesn’t have a pair. Those who are looking to benefit from GOVERNMENT are far far more committed to screwing the public. The GOP in general isn’t greedy.
Motivation is lacking.
She needs jail time for her dishonesty and lack of ethics.
…and so it continues…
As I said some time ago when the first crook bailed on Oblahblah…they are bailing out because it makes it more difficult to call them before Congressional hearings, particularly when Republicans are unwilling to play hard ball.
I will be shocked beyond words if any former Oblahblah administration crook is ever hauled before a Congressional hearing.
Besides the Deputy Chief of Staff rumors, I am thinking other options. With the November elections, the very snowy and cold winter and combine that with Obam’s ploy to try to make us think he has changed, was she thrown under the bus?
This woman is responsible for tens of thousands of job in limbo because of this Gulf oil ban while other nations are happily sipping oil right off our shores. They and the MSM called the spill a “catastrophe”. Well, outside the men killed in the initial explosion and video shots of ugly water, just how much lethal damage was done? A few thousand bird kills are peanuts overall except to animal lovers and those folks whose businesses were affected were pretty much compensated and might end up with a bumper crop of oil-nutrient enriched crusteans this year. But we DO have ten thousands still out of work because one man over-reacting and dancing with the alarmist Greens. And not forget how pokey they are about getting nuclear power rolling in this country while hailing to turn our scenic deserts and countrysides into monstruous ineffective wind and solar farms which at most help Greens feel like heroes. We don’t need to reinvent the energy wheel with pies in the sky when we’ve a tried and true energy infrastructure already in place with energy sources that can last hundreds of years at a minimum (think about it — ALL this has been put to question because of one bogus issue — Global Warming!!), and we won’t see county and boondock highway gas stations switching to hydrogen for a LONG time , so we need some reality seeing adults back in the White House and Congress if we’re ever going to get back on track.

Next Global Warming Czar: Ahnold.
Lies. She lied. Democrat.
She will just end up in a Soros “think tank” like Van Jones. She won’t be actually going away.
Basil: I’ll put an ad in the papers. Wanted, kind home for enormous savage rodent. Answers to the name of Carol.
Since Speaker Boehner is too busy crying instead of communicating these job destructive policies of Carol Browner-Obama, it’s up to us to bring Democrats up during discussions of HIGH GAS AND HEATING PRICES with friends, family and strangers. They don’t observe politics. We do. Let’s educate them. Start putting doubt into people’s minds. Many uninformed people are beginning to open up to the truth now that Obama has failed his promised miracles. I met a 27 year old woman who plans on studying meteorology, but believes in global warming. She somewhat believed the recent media hype of dead birds and fish were a result of gw. I brought up FACTS and FACTS and FACTS to put doubt in her mind. Now she is starting to question things. It’s a start.
The Tea Party members of Congress need to break away from Boehner. They need to hold their own press conferences as a group. Attack Attack Attack.
Bottom line here is, how much damage has been done so far. That’s not just how much by this individual but all of Sock Puppets Minions. From what I can tell, it is damn near incalculable.
It’s not exaggerating when one calls for half of Congress and almost all of this administration should be under investigation, indicted and in jail for corruption. From ACORN to the housing and finance disaster, the public should be so enraged so as to demand the heads of everyone involved. Yet, these people get reelected and/or move from one job they screw up to the next. We get what we tolerate.
Browner than a turd
There has been no confirmation to the rumor she has signed to take over the role of Nurse Ratched.
Generally, you have to have balls to play hardball.
I agree. Not one, of any substance, of BHO’s buds will ever be on that side of the table. The GOP don’t/won’t have the ….(fill in your word).
Nurse Ratched (Big Nurse)
Character Analysis
Nurse Ratched desires order, and she wants complete power, so she manipulates her patients and the staff to do fulfill her desires. As the head nurse and as a woman with many connections both inside and outside of the hospital, she is able to maneuver things so that most situations fit her expectations. If she needs to, she uses the force of her hatred to get things done. Though she smiles a lot and talks sweetly, she’s definitely not a kind or charming woman. She is, however, a woman with strong will and a fanaticism for control. She pursues power with intensity and is very successful at getting people to do what she wants.
Although Nurse Ratched is an antagonist of the worst kind in this book, even Chief knows that she’s simply the human face of the Combine – machine that Chief imagines is society. In other words, according to Chief, the system is larger than Nurse Ratched; she is only part of the system. She happens to be the patients’ direct link to the mechanical system, but she is not the system itself. This puts Nurse Ratched and her power into perspective. However, even with her little amount of power, she is destructive. In the short timeframe of the book, she destroys three men – two commit suicide and one is lobotomized. She gets what she wants and feels no guilt about how it’s accomplished.
As much as it is justified, people like Browner are virtually immune from any accountability and prosecution (Sandy Berger – how do you steal government documents in a political coverup and not go to jail?). This is why government is so popular with career white collar criminals. There is virtually no risk of embarrassment much less criminal prosecution. That is why Browner and others present such a brahmin and imperious attitude to the public.
As someone said recently…
WATCH WHAT THEY DO, NOT WHAT THEY SAY!!
That definitely goes for Obama. Watch the other hand at all times. He is pretending and we all know it!
Words are important. The regressives are good at rebranding their words and the gullible American People just sop it up. (like calling spending…investment!) Conservatives need to get better at doing that. For example, our side keeps saying “cut spending”. Why not define it a bit better. “Cut wasteful spending”. Or, “Cut unnecessary spending”. It changes the whole argument!! Then, when they say, “You can’t cut Social Security, or whatever”! You can say, “I said cut wasteful spending. What can you possibly have against that???”
I can’t believe no one has thought of doing that! Everyone…e-mail your representatives and tell them to use their terminology better!! We continually allow the regressives to define us. That has to stop!

Maybe carol wanted to go before some r had hearings on the cruddy work and lies she had been doing. Now we need to get salazar before a hearing on what he has been up to also.

Don’t expect anything from our “Ruling Class” elites, be they Republican or Democrat, they are all members of the same club. They are, almost, all in it together.
Thejim – ain’t that the truth?
The House Republicans’ first major technology initiative is about to be unveiled: a push to force Internet companies to keep track of what their users are doing.
A House panel chaired by Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin is scheduled to hold a hearing tomorrow morning to discuss forcing Internet providers, and perhaps Web companies as well, to store records of their users’ activities for later review by police. (It’s not purely a partisan issue: Rep. Diana DeGette, a Colorado Democrat, was the first to announce such a proposal.)

A controversial bill handing President Obama power over privately owned computer systems during a “national cyberemergency,” and prohibiting any review by the court system, will return this year.
introduced last summer by Sens. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine)
“We’re not trying to mandate any requirements for the entire Internet, the entire Internet backbone,” said Brandon Milhorn, Republican staff director and counsel for the committee.
Instead, Milhorn said at a conference in Washington, D.C., the point of the proposal is to assert governmental control only over those “crucial components that form our nation’s critical infrastructure.”
Easy. As a Dem operative working for the benefit of a high level Dem, one automatically has a perpetual “Stay Out of Jail” Card, which can and is used for every potential crime, especially involving politics, up to and possibly including some degrees of murder.
Yup, and they do let a few outsiders come in to appease the voter base, but just as long as the outsiders make few, if any, waves, to rock the club’s yacht.
Well of course – Browner could no sooner leave DC than a fish could leave the ocean.
Good riddance Carol. Why don’t these tree hugging morons ever go to the source of the problem to complain. China’s President HU was here last week, and Browner never made a peep, yet the air in China is unbreathable, the water undrinkable, and the bay so full of oil sludge that you can walk upon it. I thought these enviroterrorists were also one world order nuts, so why no demonstrations in Peking?
In keeping with her Maoist philosophy, Browner responds to the Republicans in her favorite language:
去下地獄髒的保守大鼠 !
Not to worry…hubby over at the energy lobbying firm already has a VP slot lined up.
I once asked a hard core liberal this when Kerry was running, “Do you honestly believe that Kerry gives a damn about your life?” This looney tune said , “Yes!” Nobody is going to rock the boat of a privileged life in Wash, DC, dems and repubs.
She’s an outright typical White Democrat Racist to boot.
