Who is better at vetting than lawyers? Some wingnut talk show host?

Let''s get back on the subject of Obama vetting.

During his campaign he said he would not have anyone in his administration that was involved with any special interest groups or worked previously for any one or any company that did direct business that would create a conflict of interest.

So now he is doing extensive background checks on everyone who wants to work in his administration. Hillary Clinton, for example, is being heavily vetted to make sure her husband did not have dealings with companies (through his AIDS charity) that may pose a conflict of interest.

Yes folks. The President Elect Barack Obama is doing what he promised in his campaign!!!!! Keeping a promise! Wow what a great idea.

Obama''s choice of AG Mr.Holder is a great choice and he will bring with him integrity. Something that has been lacking in the Justice Department since the Bush Administration took over.

"oldguy4truth: It is clear that Sarah is a woman of CHARACTER, something that Obama sorely lacks. All the digging turned up NO dirt on her. EVERYTHING was proven false. She is a woman...." Posted by sickofleft at 01:51 PM : Nov 18, 2008

You know, I believed that myself even though she represented a faction of a disgraced party that I could not stand. She SEEMED to exhibit some shreds of decency that were all too rare among the neo-con Mafia.
Then came the campaign. NEVER in my life of nearly 60 years have I ever seen such a criminal disregard for anything even remotely resembling honor, truth, decency or fair play. She maliciously (possibly feloniously) used bald faced falsehoods even she knew were lies to whip up crowds into almost psychotic anti-Obama lather. I have seen the rallies - even attended one ''cause I couldn''t believe the nastiness was really real!! It was awful.
As far as not being vetted himself...No man in the history of politics has been as thoroughly examined as has Obama. The media, the international community, the financial world - all of ''em had the O-man under the scope for three solid months. And what did they find? Wright? A noisy but mostly harmless man. Ayers? May have been a left wing loony once; Not even centerline, now. And as far as his supposedly commie associates...? Not a one of them is any more ominous than a hopeful shade of pink.

This is comforting. It leads one to think that Obama is a pleasant, professional guy up front, and underneath a barracuda. Which is just what we want. He knows that (just like B. Clinton) the attacks on him have begun (before he has even taken office), and will continue almost a decade later (just like Clinton) in hopes of destroying his legacy and any progress made during his administration. This is done systematically on a daily basis by Faux News & Hate Radio. Obama seems to be preparing himself for it.

We voted for change Obama not more treasonous, unconstitutional, and impeachable offenses liked protects the current administration''s war criminals.

You better had find an AG with more balls than you have because You''''re leaving us lawful citizens with nothing more than the prospect of finding or own version of Justice for these criminals.

Eric Holder is a former Deputy Attorney General, knows his way around the Justice Department and will bring Justice to those who can''t wait to meet her.

Still on the %u201CI love Palin%u201D thing. Wow. Get over it or get a brain. She is nothing what you said. She is unqualified, lacks discipline, and has zero Federal Government knowledge. Can you imagine her as President meeting with foreign leaders? I cringe at the thought. Thanks to Bush, America has a bad enough reputation. With Plain, it would have been worst. Plain was one of the reasons McCain lost. The common sense republicans could not vote with her on the ticket (Colin Powell, and I know a few).

She needs to be tagged and put back in the wild.

That''s it Olivia4441...defend yourself by asking someone to defend themselves first. Why did you go to the American Thinker and post words other people have written and posted them on this site?

Even so I will answer your question with MY thoughts on Obama.

1) I,from day on, was against the war in Iraq. Obama was too when he was still a State Senator in 2002.

2) He has not been caught in a lie.

3) He thinks before he reacts. He is a common sense, analytical politician. He is not an abstract politician like Bush. I assume you do not know what that means so I will tell you. Common sense, analytical politicians are people who try to match means with ends and who calculate gains and risks, they take history and and social facts into account. Abstract politicians do not do any of these. Iraq War anyone?

4) He understands the division in this country (look at us on this website)and where it comes from.

5) He has integrity. During the campaign did he mention Palin''s husband palling around with the Anti-American Alaskan Seperatists group? No. Did he mention Palin''s right winged views on *** education and how it failed with her own daughter. No. Did Obama mention that McCain had told his captures when he was in Vietman more than his name, rank, and serial number. No.

I can go on and on

Obama won due to all these things plus more. This is actually the first time I voted for someone rather than aginst someone.

EVERYTHING was proven false.

You mean like the Alaskan legislative investigation that found her guilty of abuse of power? Or do you mean her shopping for the $15,000 wardrobe to nowhere? Or were you talking about her $400,000,000 in state pork money?
