I'm from Illinois and the dirty politicians (both parties)is far more than clean politicians. It's so disgraceful because known criminals are often re elected by large margins.

No, actually I can't. How many of the "Mormon Mafia" were in appointed positions when he was Governor of Massachusetts? That would probably be a pretty good indicator.

Yes, she will be a great asset as Secretary of Commerce. I know it must be troublesome, however, for people who harbor prejudice against successful women, women who are strong supporters of charities and the arts ... and who don't like people who are Jewish.

I thought Obama was a socialist who was redistributing money from the rich to the poor?

She represents everything you are against yet because she's a billionaire Dem backer you ignore the facts.

News flash..Romney isn't the President and Romney didn't appoint her.
She would have been appointed in 2008 if she wasn't hip deep in legal problems.

She is that 1% you can't stand and she's up near the top in YOUR party.
HappyTexan,
Some people are still enamored with hope and change.

-No lobbyists in the White House - failed

-End no bid government contracts above $25K - failed

-Reduce earmarks to 1994 levels by veto if necessary - failed (have gone up)

-Post all non-emergency bills online 5 days after passing through congress and before he signs them into law - failed

-Most transparent government - failed

-Close Gitmo - failed

-Go through the budget line by line to reduce waste - failed

-Cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term - failed

-Opposed a mandate - failed

etc...

Wasn't Donald Trump briefly the Republican front runner? Weren't Republicans lining up to kiss his ring?

The right wing is really pathological and transparent at this point. How can anyone take you seriously?

Hey pot, the kettle called...
