Cheap Trick!

[merrily]

14. On the Republican side, I forgot re-appointing Bernanke--and that is before we even get to

to the Commissions, like the Postal Commission and the FCC. (Say bye to the USPS and net netrality.)

With the economy in the crapper, thanks in great measure to repeal of Glass Steagall during the Clinton administration and Bush's wars, and the US involved in two of those unpopular Bush wars, we got a Republican Secretary of Treasury (who had changed his registration from Republican to Indie when Clinton hired him), re-appointment of a Republican Secretary of Defense re-appointment of Bernanke, And the "return" of Larry Summers Rahm Emanuel and scores of other Clintonites.

Before anyone points out that some commissioners have to be something other than Democratic by law, true but they don't to be Republican, just not the same party as the President. Neither do political appointees in the D of J or the FCC. And, as to the FCC they don't have to be former minions of the telecommunications industry. And, as to the Postal Commission, Obama nominated more non-Democrats than law requires, including appointing the guy who is credited with having written the 2006 Act, the purpose of which was to kill the US Post Office.

But, I am non-violent. Vivisection, even of humans would be especially abhorrent to me. Facts, however, are not.
