[...] has run its course; Karl Rove has no business making any comment on future American politics. Yet recently Karl Rove stated that he was impressed with the make up of Obama's economic advisory board. Considering Karl [...]

Which sign of the apocalypse is this?

"He's generally surrounded himself with intelligent, mainstream advisers."

That's just crazy enough to work, huh, Karl?

Rove – the man who destroyed the Republican Party in just
six years – and he's critiquing Obama's moves???????

Rove, the damage you've done to this country can not be undone. Stop trying to save your own legacy. You will go down in history as a corrupt, soulless, fat pig.

Glad Rove feels better.. about it.. would not want him uncomfortable.

I thank God for MY DEAR PRESIDENT – ELECT OBAMA, because those who are talking BAD about him during election are now EATING there WORD

Thanks Mr Rove for your comments by stating the truth. Too bad you could not be truthful before the financial disaster that we are faced with in the present administration.

who cares what that fat idiot thinks????

It is spelled Berkeley not Berkley.

This guy is one of the most deceiving human beings.. Now he wants to come clean saying that he thinks that Mr. Obama has a great economic team.. He would say anything to give the impression that he is a man of integrity and fairness. This is another parasite that has its place in history with bush and cheny for making a mess of this country. All of the and all the self righteous hypcrite repubilcans were more concerned about putting their political ideology before the interests of the country and the people. This guy, same as bush and cheney has no conscience and I don't think they will miss a night of sleep thinking what they did to this country. Rove.. should crawl under a hole and do us a favor.. we don't want see your face because parasites look better than you.

"Rove" he (Barack) is not a perferct man!
Just a reminder

You spelled berkeley wrong.

What is this "extremes" business Rove is talking about? Obama has said he would pursue universal health care, so he is putting in people who advocate – duh – universal health care.

Now, I'm worried.

OMG! There have been many poitive signs from candidate and now PE Obama…..many good ideas and policy plans. I agree with most. But this Rove thing is the first sign that Obama might be wrong about something afterall. Well here's hoping maybe Rove is correct for once — even a blind pig finds an acorn once in awhile.

Rove is the the worlds biggest idiot. He's excellent at kissing butts!

I don't believe this. Throughout the campaign, Karl Rove has given Barack Obama good advice, he predicted that he would win the election, and now he says that his cabinet is a good one.

And now, I have just looked out the window and saw several pigs flying!

Surprisingly, I couldn't agree more with Rove!

isnt it amazing how all the bush cronies are kissing obamas but by flattery now that there on there way out, I hope obama doesnt fall for it and holds all you bush cronies accountable for what youve don to our country!!!

Rove should shut up and go to jail.

as a liberal progressive, you moderate dems can take this statement ,by rove, as a good indication of our why our eyebrows are raised! the nat sec picks are much worse!

didn't anyone ever teach this fat bully to have some respect for the President-elect?

Oh please do shut up Rove. You are a has-been who engineered the downfall of America by helping Bush become president.

I have always maintained that the world is suffering at the hands of Rove. It was he who sold Bush to America.

Does anyone care what Rove thinks?

Here's another hack who won't tear himself away from the spotlight. He should remember his name, "Rove," and go on a long trip somewhere else.

I can't believe anyone ever listened to this guy.

It is BERKELEY, not "Berkley," Alexander

Rove, who the heck cares what you think……Same mentality of the disgusting Bush admininstration.

Hah Carl!
You are trying to cover your butt!
Hopefully your former Boss Bush
will commute your crimes and
President Obama won't send you
to where you belong:
JAIL!

Why do you guys keep quoting Carl Rove. George Bush would never have been Governor much less President without the control of this horrible person. The only way to treat him is to ignore him. He and Rush Limbaugh should never ne quoted or heard from again. They are the devil's pawns.

who is this fatty

Hmmmm. Guess Karl Rove must be one of them socialist Commie pinkos if he says Obama did something right.

Rove is making nice…
He's worried about going to prison.

Like President-Elect Obama needs Karl Rove's approval or opinion….what a suck up!

Who is Carl Rove and why should anyone give him the time of day?

Frankly, who cares what Karl Rove thinks now? He is every bit as rotten and corrupt as GWBush and Dick Cheney. He belongs in jail along with them. Let this fat little worm fade into the obscurity that he so richly deserves. His day is done.

DEMOCRATS: WAKE UP and get your _ _ _ _ _ back on track!

The ball's in your court again, and you have the gall to create confusion and mayhem inside your own camp?

Just what the Losers need; a group of adults acting like sixth graders!

I hope that the majority of you are wise enough to understand that the new president is responsible for your strides, and will have enough sense to support him!

REALLY!

If Rove praises something, then it's probably wrong ….or illegal. Makes me concerned about Obama's team now.

Karl Rove????? Your name is synonymous with extremely dirty politics. Who cares what you think?!!!!

aahhh yes, and we care so much about what rove says because?

Ooook! Now go to jail!

That is a scary thought! Personally I believe Rove should be in jail for leaking the name of a CIA operative, among other atrocities committed by the Bush administration. I could care less what a convicted felon from the Bush dynasty has to say! Yet somehow the media does. Strange, isn't it?

Like we CARE what that crook thinks!!

This guy's opinion matters about as much as Geraldine Ferraro's. We are almost free of these azzclowns, and I am counting the days. They can take their bigoted racist arrogant values and spew them on their biased media outlets untill the end of their days, and I won't care at all. I just want to thank all of the Republicans who voted for Obama. You have restored my faith in this country.

"Berkley" California is spelled Berkeley! Thought you might like to know.

Why isn't this man behind bars yet?

"Berkley" California is spelled Berkeley! Thought you might like to know.

Is it just me, or is having anything approved by Carl Rove just a little bit scary?

Is he hoping to jump on the Obama band wagon? We really don't need him and haven't forgot the things he has done.

Who the hell cares what Rove has to say. Trying to show your just a "regular guy" Karl? Don't start moving toward the center now that Barack is in the White House.
Just go away…

Right – the same set of values = NONE. You didn't sell your soul because you don't have one. You sold out the very people you stole the election to supposedly help – AMERICANS.

You violated the Constitution, the Geneva Convention, all established principles of ethics, and you sold us and the environment for PROFIT.

You are despicable, a low, scut-smelling, scum-sucking pig. The only pro I see in this is that your children and your grandchildren and your great grandchildren will bear the stain of your lies, the destruction of human life, disregard of our education system, children, the elderly, the sick, and the vulnerable, the destruction of our economy and indeed, the world's economy for as long as history is written.

You will be despised forever.

This from the one who was instumental in all the mess that this Administration has made, particularly the disaster in Iraq and Afganistan.
He is a real jewell, who should be tries for war crimes.
I hope there is justice and all those responsible for the crimes this Administration has comitted will be prosicuted.

Good Job Karl for getting Mr. One Term elected. This is going to pave the way for a take back in 2012 for the republicnas for the W.H. & capital hill. Kudos!

Why isn't Rove in jail?

Why are you giving him press?

A note for the Obama Administration:

Run as fast as you can if you see Karl "Rasputin" Rove coming your way.

Or better yet, try to arrest Rove for crimes against humanity and particularly against Americans.

Shut up, Karl.

You are largely responsible for the awful current state of affairs, so nobody cares what you think.

You will go down in the history books as the worst presidential advisor ever!

Your neocon movement is dead, Dead, DEAD.

Karl Rove is using the word "expreme" about someone when that is his own middle name and legacy himself.

That figures though, considering it comes from Karl Rove's mind.

"Hi, I'm Karl Rove, and after turning our entire political system into a nasty reality TV show, I find that I am now totally irrelevant. Since the Democrats are now in power, I'm jumping on whatever bandwagon I can find. Please pay attention to me. Please…."

Sorry Karl. Your 15 minutes are UP!

Go hawk Jenny Craig or something.

Ever the coat-tail rider, trying to make his disreputable self into something on someone else's merit since he has none of his own. Rove, the impeachment net is still looking for you! Democracy can not afford letting your, counter Constitutional inceptions of a unitarian Presidency, get off scott free; even if the Nixon folks got away with their indiscretions, since you decided to continue your egregious democracy killing ideas into our time. I know you got away with it before, fool us once shame on you, we can not allow you to fool us a second time Democracy is too precious to us.

Rove should be in a dark creepy prison just for not wanting Americans to do without health care.
.
Our country, our new president, and the entire world will be better without Rove.
With that said again…how nice he approves of an intelligent person's choices for important positions.

I wonder how Rove's health care plan compares to the average American. No one in my entire family has had health insurance for over 4 years. It is not extremist to want health care.

Not a sign of good tidings, Rove approving of Obama's financial team. It seems that maybe a bad sign for the economy-the more things change, the more they stay the same!

Karl who?

Who cares what this criminal says?? He should be in jail.

GO BLUE DOGS KEEP WATCH ON THINGS ,,,, PLEASE

Like whatever Karl Rove says or thinks is the least bit important!!!!!!!!!!!!!Noone cares Mr. Rove!

Thanks Karl………………Now go away!

So, wonder what Rove is REALLY up to?

Carl. Please go away!

Who cares what this skunk thinks?

The only place his opinion matter is "Townhall.com" and "Fox Un-News".

His opinion means about as much to me as my cat.

Karl, nobody takes what you say very seriously anymore. Please return to your place under a rock.

Nice words Mr. Rove. But I still don't trust a pig with lipstick. Sorry but you are not to be trusted.

Yes thank you very much for your imput Mr. Rove. I know my man Obama said he wanted to hear all voices. President Obama is a very polite man but alas I am less so. I hope you rot in jail for your crimes against the country I love and if by some pardon from your pal Mr. Bush makes that not possible could you at least please go away now.

Stop talking!

What a maroon! Rove truly shows his dispicable lack of charcter. While the "dummy" Bush is saying that he doesn't want to be remembered as a President who "sold his soul" (not that he ever had one).

Rove is already greasing the skids and bending over to try to regain some capital for his battered image as a louse.

From my perspective Mr. Rove you are still a felon and criminal who, like O.J. Simpson, is mearely playing out the clock before they toss your sorry as in the clinker!

karl rove is irrelevant and frankly nothing he says matters!
Obama has his hands full trying to restore this country but he is the right man to do it!
who cares if karl rove agrees or disagrees, he's helped to destroy this country, he needs to go back under his rock now!

Is it just me, or do we all see the same thing. Carl Rove actually looks like a mouse. He is a mouse, actually a Rabid Rat!

Rove should be behind bars along with the rest of the gang. I find it hard to believe that this -person- is wiling to even show up in front of a camera! Where is the outrage to people like this that have about destroyed this country as we knew it. I only hope that there will be investigations for some of these clowns down the road.

;Yes it is no drama but restful.

BTW

I am anxiously awaiting the Muslims to speak out about the tragic killing of innocent men, women and children in Bombay. I am shocked that they are silent. If the clerics had any guts they would speak out against this unjust and cowardly attack against innocent human beings.

I am just sick with the sicko Muslim terrorists. Or should I say cowards. Yeah, they have to select unarmed innocents. If they are so brave, why not attack a well armed military or the US Marines.

Give me a break…

who cares what Karl Rove thinks, look at what he did for his country – lies and coverups!!

"Rove also offers praise of Berkley Economics Professor Christina Romer as Obama's choice to head up his team of economics advisers."

It's spelled "Berkeley."

I don't care about Karl Rove opinions. It's our turn take a back seat Karl.

So when is Karl Rove such an expert? He's a marketing guy. Obviously if he, or anyone else in the Bush administration, had a clue about economics, military campaigns or pretty much anything else, we would not be in such a mess today.

Rove and people like Gover Norquist are pathetic little men who use their God-given intellect for all the wrong causes. I suspect both were probably whupped on a lot by bullies as nerdy little kids, and this is their big get-even.

Go…away.

Carl Rove looks like he needs to go on a diet and get some exercise. I am worried about his blood circulation.

There's no place for Rove in Obama's administration so his comments are none essential.

I would be careful of this "worm" I wouldn't trust anything he said or did. He is a sheep in wolf's clothing. I don't know what he is trying to prove, maybe he has reformed his thinking "NOT".

Carl, you will soon need that healthcare, so shut your pie hole!

Isn't this the guy who sold us that bad product in 2004?

He is praised for having a great political mind, but I consider him nothing more than a high level used car salesman.

Besides, he's just doing what a flea does on a dying dog.

I don't care what you think Mr. Rove!

Something tells me Barack could care less what Rove thinks.
My feelings exactly!
We can only hope Mr Bush takes his brain with him when he goes back to Texas.

Rove – another has been. Why do we care what he thinks? How is that news?

Here we go again!! Karl Rove is a JOKE!! After months of criticizing Obama, he changes his tune once the american people REJECT his politics, and embrace hope instead of his brand of fear and cynisicm.
In one breath, he sounds like he appreciates Obama, but read the article, and he's back to attacking.
Then he resorts to the Politics of division. All of a sudden, picking an advisor who worked for Ted Kennedy is the worse receipe? If Karl Rove was so smart, why does the President whom he advised have the worst approval rating in Modern history, and why did Obama win the Presidency by running against Karl Rove and his policies?!

Rove :
Shut your mouth and retire to the moon, you are respossible for the debacle of the Republican party filosofy:
-Pandering to the hispanics,
-Your touchy feely BS,
-Spending the peoples money in wasteful programs
-You and the President are RINOS

The American people want men with "cojones"

Sergio Pastor , Latino, democrat and proud conservative

Uh oh….Rove likes it…this is going to be bad. Or is he switching teams now?

It's good to have him on board. We need the best and the brightest to save America and it has to be NOW that we put our BRAINS to good use. Bush did his part on putting a lid on terrorism, now it's Obama who needs to speak softly and carry the torch forward. I think if they look behind him, he's got some heavy GUNS behind him (Hillary to Gates to Jim Jones..)

Is he making nice now?

Like — does anyone really care what Rove or any other member of the gang who couldn't shoot straight really think??????

Wow, the linchpin of the axis of evil has spoken. Saying nice things about our President Elect will not make us forget all of the heinous, deceitful, harmful things you have advocated through the years. You really should be in jail.

I am always a bit more than skeptical when this man endorses any-thing.He may possess an acute acumen for the political process,but
he adheres to the gutter politics that have reeked havoc for years now.
The sooner he leaves the national scene altogether,the better the country will be.He has been refered to as Bushs' brain in the past,well
that answers one pressing question.

Karl Rove is the devil. Suddenly I find myself wary of Obama's picks when I wasn't before.

Could Rove be trying to attain forgiveness and peace? Likely just trying to avoid prosecution either in court or in reputation.

And why is that important? Why is his views news?
Rove the porcine! Go away and rot and rut in the mess you and your president made of our country.

Why is he not in chains?

Why hasn't he been charged with war crimes?

Go roll in some mud, you fat pig.

Does anyone actually care what Rove thinks anymore? I thought that he would go the way of the dinosaurs now that his puppet is leaving office.

this man is irrelevant

Crawl back under your rock, Mr. Rove.

And I should pay the slightest attention to this snake-oil salesman because…?

I ask the same question about rove and palin, who cares what these want to bees have to say.

Rove is so obessed with Obama…i bet he voted for him.

Who cares what Karl Rove thinks about Obama's team. He is truly irrelevant.

Why isn't this FAT MAN in prison somewhere. Who cares what he thinks, don't think he has been asked for his opinion. Sure PE Obama has been waiting for his opinions, NOT.

I hope that he wrote his op-ed on a piece of fire wood , and someone sticks it up his……. ,no that's not right, it should just be put in aplce that the sun don't shine………

i'm sorry. please explain to me why anyone cares what this guy has to say.

Rove is one of the most genuinely evil, manipulative, pathological liers this nation has EVEN seen! His empty words mean NOTHING and the sooner the honorable decent republicans rise from his ashes and reclaim their party… the sooner those of us who left, will give serious thought to returning.

How about having a referendum for us all to vote for a healthcare reform bill?
For example, the Congress and White House can come up with three potential bills for us to vote for one as the final bill?
This is where math education comes into play for the health of the nation.
If our population knows a thing or two about math and social ills, we may choose the right bill for us. If not, we will vote for a not so good one.

Why can't we depend on our Congress to negotiate and select the best health care bill for us? With this Wall Street bailout, it proves that our Congress isn't much brighter than the voters, who voted them into Congress. I think we desperately need a basic qualified exam for all candidates running for a public office. I don't mean a Ph.D. qualified exam. I mean a High School equivalent exam. This is how sad the reality is today, but this won't disqualify anyone without a college degree, either. We should let the Supreme Court make up the qualified exam for potential candidates for our Congress. What do you think? Just my 2 cents after having too much turkey!

Uh Oh. If Roves likes the picks, suddenly I'm less excited. I predict History will remember this guy as the most destructive, devisive, dispicable figure in our lifetimes. And we didn't even ELECT him!

Re: President-elect Barack Obama is drawing early praise from former top Bush-aide Karl Rove.
____________________________________________________
Help! He is scaring me.

Paleeeeease shut this guy up.

Rove needs to go away. We are tired of him and his spread the wealth to the wealthy economics.

Shut up Karl.

Put him in prison, please!

Who in the world cares what Carl Rove has to say about anything.
The man should be in prison for all the illegal things he has
instigated or did hisself.
Do hope that Bush does not give a blanket pardon to his stall,
I'm sure including Bush hisself, as the criminal acts they all
have commited should not go unpunished.
But imagine he will.

Rove, I hope you will be leaving the White House this coming January. Believe me, you WILL NOT be missed!!! You are just sucking up to the new administration hoping you will have a job there. Please just go away.

I don't trust a word Karl Rove says because his movtives are always self-serving. He trained at Lee Atwater's knee and is nothing more than a power-hungry manipulator and liar.

Why do you care what Rove thinks? He has been demonized by the left for the past 8 years and now what he says matters to you and most of your viewers? Give me a break. See what algore thinks. He is what most of the people that read this site cares about. I check this site to try and get a balance. Too bad most other people ( on both sides) don't do the same. If they did, we could have a centrist government and the pendulum would not always swing too far to the left, or right.

Thanks anyway, Karl. The rest of the world seems to think Mr. Obama is on the right track with his appointments. You know full well he can't please everyone. He seems to be seeking, as you say, intelligent continuity with programs he deems in the country's best interest, as well as in the world's best interests.

I'll take your (minimally-) qualified words as nothing but good news for all sides. Happy holidays—

Jabba the Hutt has spoken

Holy crap, something positive out of this man's mouth!

I don't care what porky Rove says about anything. Rove should concentrate on his legacy. He is known for being the "brain" behind the worst president this country has ever known. Good going, there.

Who cares what this traitor has to say?

Karl Rove and his cronies have put this country in danger, not only the treasonous ways by putting Valery in jeopardy but all the agents that have work with her around the world, how many of them have lost their lives because of Mr. Rove?..
Don’t you have any shame?

The article is not that complimentary. He spends 2-3 sentences saying nice things about picking Geithner, Summers, and Ozerag and then proceeds with a long, calculating critique of President-Elect Obama's other picks, his policies, and his leadership.

Rove is a typical Republican operative–always campaigning and always believing most people care what he thinks.

The majority of Americans, the AMA and a large and growing % of businesses want universal health care, and want it as soon as is possible.

Running to the "extremes with government-run health care" would mean following Rove's advice in this area.

What fine work by our president elect!

The more Rove whines about this the better we know you're doing.

Who cares what this extremist thinks.
If someone deserves to be in Guantanamo it's Rove.

I wonder if there is anyone in the civilized world who can explain why anyone in the world continues to listen to Karl Rove? Complicit in the destruction of countless lives, lifestyles, our country's reputation, and our Constitution – Karl Rove is but another major piece of the Bush/Cheney Regime "pie."

I pray that, soon than later, the medial will send Bush/Cheney/Rove to the halls of obscurity. They are undeserving of anything but contempt at the highest level for their despicable acts against humanity.

Though PE Obama was/is my choice, any praise from Rove is tainted by Rove's previous mode of operation in Politics.

Is Karl feeling okay? Maybe trying to kiss a little booty so he won't be brought up on any charges after Jan. 20th? Hmm, interesting. Still don't trust him as far as I can throw him (that isn't very far).

What does this neocon creep know about solving problems – All Rove knows how to do is create them using the patented Rovian tactics of "Fear, Smear, Mock and Lie" underscored by repuglican partisan dogma…

Who cares what this washed-up, war criminal thinks?

Why is the mainstream media still covering Rove? Oh, PLEASE STOP. He's a lot of the reason why this country is in such a pickle. He's such a non-issue, a disgusting neo-Con, and as the criminal that he is, he should be, at the least, jailed. The American people have been so used to reading and listening to his dysfunctional blab that going to an administration with some sanity will feel foreign. PLEASE STOP COVERING ROVE, PALIN, MCCAIN, HUCKABEE…they are non-issues at this point. We have a new administration with FRESH IDEAS and FOR THE PEOPLE that will be taking over on January 20 led by a more than competent President and Vice President-Elect. Rove and the neo-Cons need to be laid to rest at that time – or put in jail – and never heard from again.

Is this guy for real? Does anyone really care what this guy has to say. Carl Rove is knee deep in all the Bush decisions and tactics that has caused this country to spiral out of control. Rove your days are limited, so find the rock and call it home.

It would make about as much sense to present Twiggy's views as Rove's. He has no importance for today. He is old, old, old, old, old school. Please stop reporting on this vain disgusting distortion artist and maybe he'll FINALLY go away!

Does Anybody Really care about anything that Carl Roves says or thinks anymore? Just because Fox hired him (no surprise there) after he had to leave the White House in, shall we say less than honorable conditions. So let's be honest, if he wasn't a paid advertisement on Fox for the GOP, where would he really be now? Just another washed up, old time political adviser who's tactics no longer work on the American people. Can't we lock him away in the past along with um, Palin?

Since when is universal healthcare an "extreme" position. People have a right to be treated for sickness and injury irrespective of their background or financial situation. Just as Independants and social conservatives believe a baby has a right to leave so does adults who have committed no crimes against humanity. Universal healthcare is not an extreme position but a humanitarian one.

Only Rove would speak up like this because maybe he's gonna need a j-o-b!!! This out of touch neo con needs to back out gracefully and shut up.

Rove is an indicted has been who deserves prison time. He can't put his personal hatred of Ted Kennedy aside for the good of the nation. He has large responsibility in the Bush train wreck that we now must face.

I am not to proud to beg…

No more Rove…pretty please!

Is there any opinion more discredited than Karl Rove's? Why should we listen to the architect of extreme partisanship, the designer of a portfolio of foreign policy disasters, the mastermind of internal spying and Guantanamo, the guiding light of economic chaos, the stacker of courts and government agencies? Everything Karl Rove did led to complete disaster and an undermining of American principles. His plan to make America a one-party country succeeded . . . for the other party. This guy belongs in Alaska with Palin.

Only if you say so mr O V E R ….U sank the economy.

This creep should never be allowed to speak on TV for life.He should be in jail for the balance of his life with Bush,Cheney and Rumsfeld.

Yes – Obama is the leader for these times. Godspeed to him and us.

After he picked Biden for a running mate, that was the red flag that his rhetoric of change wasn't going to live past the campaign ads and now he's even getting Kudos from the guy who gave W all of his myopic ideas. I imagine we'll still be in Iraq in 4 years, we'll still have an economic mess and not a single progressive social idea will be advanced. Health care is the DNC equivalent of what abortion is to the GOP, it brings out the base and makes for good speeches, but there's no pragmatic incentive in actually deliver on any promises regarding it. Why would you give people what they want, when it's the desire for it that motivates them to go to the polls. Simple concept, yet the plebeians keep going back to their two parties every 4-years for a fresh serving of disappointment.

Oh, gag. As if anyone would believe anything that man says — WHY is anyone still asking him questions about ANYTHING??!?!?!

This scumbag should be in handcuffs.

so, basically, if Rove agrees with you, then you are doing something asnine. i get it now…

Oy, that we should be listening to anything Karl Rove says after he's left his grubby finger prints on Bush's so-called legacy is proof that we haven't learned from our mistakes and are doomed to repeat them.

who cares what Rove says…he should move to Alaska and coach Palin into seceding from the Union and starting Wingnutlovia…and all the Wal-Mart trampling gay hating bigots can all move up there and teach creationism to their obese kids

After all of the negative comments that I read from Dems about Rove, how could they possibly agree with anything that he says? But they will say "He is right this time"?

Wait a sec….did I just see a pig flying overhead?

"Change" I am starting to lose faith in. Maybe we can't?

This coming from someone in an administration that has tanked the economy and believes only the wealthy should have health coverage paid for totaly by their place of employment while everybody else has to pay out of pocket for less coverage.

Who cares what Karl Rove thinks? The fact that he did orchestrate Bush's two terms is nothing to recommend him. Look what a mess we're in and it's all Bush's and the Neocon's fault!

This is what happens when you eliminate regulation. Even Alan Greenspan underestimated the greed of the Bushies and t heir buddies!

Rove needs to go sit in a corner somewhere and think about what he's done to this country!

Susan
Macedon, New York

Can"t wait for Rove to write his tell all book, you know he has secrets that he is just dying to reveal.

Bush was always blind to the suffering he helped to cause. He cares not for the innocent Iraqis whose lives have been destroyed, the people who suffered thru hurricane Katrina, the 50 million Americans who live without health insurance, the soiled reputation of America. The list of Bush failures is endless and the fact is this man is a criminal who knowingly and willingly lied to engineer the greatest fraud in US history, The Iraq War. Bush and his co-conspirators should face justice for thier crimes.

What Karl Rove likes or doesn't like about President-elect Obama's decisions is as interesting and relevant to me as how many Labrador retrievers can fit into a VW. Karl: Crawl back under your slimey rock and stay there!

Karl Rove has been sooo wrong sooo much of the time, do we really care what he thinks. He's old news….put him out to pasture.

Is it possisble that Rove is thinking of becoming a DEMOCRAT?

Karl Rove is evil…

As soon as Obama takes over he's going to be prosecuted for outing Valerie Plame, be sent to Danbury to 10-15 years… and make friends with his new boyfriend Bubba!!!

It's time for Rove to get his just desserts…

Who cares what Carl Rove thinks or writes about – he is a has been that never was.

I agree with everything he said except the point about Melody Barnes, she's an excellent choice.

Okay, what is he up to? Rove has never praised any Democrat unless they were sucking at the Republican teat and Obama certainly isn't doing that.

DO. NOT. TRUST. THIS. CRIMINAL. Wait! There it is – he's hoping Obama will tell the Democraticaly controlled congress to forget about the subpeonas he ignored and could be prosecuted for!

Why is this man still proffering opinions? Rove speaking about the economy is like the Detroit Lions describing how to win football games.

Karl Rove is another individual who needs to just SHUT UP and slink away. My personal belief is that he should be tried for treason. I truly hope we never have to hear from this "man" again.

»Very interesting…

Great praise from a person that should be in jail for outing a CIA agent.

Sounds like Karl Rove is job searching!

Why would ANYONE with any sense of the Nation's well-being give one hoot in hell as to what Karl Rove thinks??

Do we really care what Rove has to say? He is well versed in the political scene with regard to manipulation and deception. Is there any proof that he actually knows what is good for the country?

Rove should tell that to his fellow neo-cons.

The people have trusted Obama's judgment to do the right thing and of course he is on the right track.

Hey Karl…I bet you wished your former boss was as smart as Obama…Oh, that's right, I forgot…You were his brain….

who really cares what this repub. has to say . the G.O.P is a losing
party!!!!! does anyone belive the senile party of the last 8yrs been good for the whole of the U.S. strange the repub. say they lost be cause of the econmony. again which party has been in charge the last 8yrs. may be we should be come a one party nation seams like this president elect can do both the econmony, and protect our intersts.

Why is this guy not in Jail?

I think Rove want to work in the Obama administration. He has been very nice lately when speaking of Obama…

No Way Rove!

Obama's pick of "same ole, same ole" economic team – the guys that got us in to this mess – will be his downfall. Evidence includes Rove endorsement. I want my vote back – RON PAUL in '12 !!!

It is interesting to see all of this early praise for Obama. With Obama being a seemingly fiscal conservative he is getting praise left and right from high level Republicans such as Rove and Mcain, it seems as if the far left is holding their praise.

A fiscally conservative Democrat who is intelligent, objective, and sincere.

Those who have doubt in America's immediate future need to drop the cynicism and realize that we have the greatest leader since John F Kennedy in our grasp.

Rove should just go away. Some place far away. Like Gitmo.

He HAS to surround himself with intelligent, experienced advisors. He has no choice in the matter.

Go home Karl, no one wants your opinion on anything

count your lucky stars you're not in jail, as you should be

edit: Berkeley

That's right Karl kiss up to Obama…. If you don't you could find yourself in jail for Treason… where you should be

Does the departure of Dubya mean we won't have to see or hear from Karl Rove after January 20th? While he is credited with aligning right wing fundamentalists and the military complex to forge a brutal alliance in the war on individual rights, and American civil liberty, isn't all of that yesterday's news? Do the people who suffered 8 years of seeing truth and reason trampled by the Rovian's (formerly known as evangelical Christian's), really want to witness his fawning attempts to buy back his soul or his honor?

Why does anyone report what he thinks? It is time to impose some standards; one of which is that intellectually dishonest people do not get to pollute the media with their views. Rove is intellectually dishonest; his time was disastrous and has gone from American life.

Oh Lord, now this is scary. Karl "The Terrible" Rove likes something about President Obama. And the Republican party continues its decline. If this keeps up, Limbaugh and the other "conservative personalities" may have to go out and find honest work.

Rove, you should have stopped at praises for President-Elect Obama's choices!

You don't know what Ms,Barnes will do in her position. It's time for Pundits to shut up, and give the new administration a chance!

Just like all of the other accomplishments of this gifted man, the coming attractions will amaze you!

You can't predict what you've never experienced before! HA!

rove – is he still out of jail???
rc

Who gives a rats butt for what this jerk off has to say about anything.
Line him up with Bush and company and let the indictments begin.

Who cares what Karl Rove thinks??? Go away……………………

Who cares what this fat man thinks??

Does anyone care what this little jerk thinks.? I am a little worried when he approves of something but have a lot of faith In Pres. Elect Obama,,,

It's a shame good persons and excellent selections have to be dishonored by Rove's comments. These people deserve better.

Imagine after a career of hard work and dedication to public service getting endorsed by this criminal and traitor. Thanks for nothing.

Who else thinks Rove is sucking up now ?
He's worried that he won't get a full pardon from bush, and sucking up to Obama so he won't launch an investigation into the Siegalman case.

Praise from Rove? – He who convinced millions of mindless idiots to install the Howdy Doody regime for 8 years – give me strength.

I'll post this here since the other bloggs are closed. I just read the typical high-school level rants from the Obamites regarding the Bush family meal at Camp David. Many of the comments posted were in regard as to how many hungry people that meal could feed. What about the 600+ million dollars that Obama raised for his campaign? He has plenty left over that could help a lot of people. Instead, he buys president-elect seals and other vanity items. What a bunch of hypocrits!!!

It's pretty easy for Rove to criticize health care reform from his gilded, prosecution proof throne.

If anything, he should be in jail, not writing op-eds for the media.

Obama will make a good president with his very own "Dream Team" administration.

I Still Dont Understand Why This Man Is Not In Jail! It Is My Understanding That If You Are Issued A Subpoena And You Dont Go You Are Jailed! Am I Correct About This? Someone Please Inform Me If I Am Wrong Hear!

I don't know if I should be scared by his praise of Obama, Or run for the hills?…………I guess, I'll accept the fact. He decided, if you can't beat him with his slime-ball tactics. Just join him and hope he ressolves. The mess of the past eight years………

This man's opinions are of no consequence. Shame on CNN for even providing a forum in which his opinions are given merit. Rove, along with Cheney, are the embodiments of greedy, self-serving power brokers who have no love for our country or its citizens. Hopefully at noon, EST on January 20, 2009, their voices will be silenced forever.

Who cares what this man thinks/says. He's trying to "play nice" now so that he doesn't get arrested for all his crimes! Just GO AWAY, Rove!

China coming out with BIG infrastructure plan –

commodities should do well – positive impact on the market – stick with big commodity firms

China three times the size of the US and bigger than all European countries when it comes to "spending" – largest impact on current market

Be Good!

The Republicans reach out, the democrats whine.

Mr. Rove doesn't have a leg to stand on when he criticizes others for pandering to political extremes.

Americans, watch out! Obama thinks he knows better about your health care than you do. When the US government owns your health, they own YOU. This is bad for the USA.

We can all rest easy now. Rove has given his okey-dokey.

Zzzzzzz.

Philosophically, is it a good thing when Satan thinks you're doing a good job?

Can someone please explain to me why anyone of any merit would even pause to listen to this ridiculous man??

I cannot imagine any reason for keeping Rove around in the political media arena.

It's amazing that after eight years of economic disaster, the one thing that cheers up guys like Karl Rove is the thought that the new economic team would follow the same path.

Personally, I'd rather someone like Paul Krugman (who warned for years about the impending housing collapse) rather than guys with the Wall Street stamp of approval, but I trust for now that Obama is looking for ways to prove his opinions through challenge, rather than leave them untested and unexamined until they're put into action.

As if Obama needs approval from this goon or any of the other republican thugs for that matter.

Who cares what Rove thinks?

If Carl Rove approves, then Obama must have it all wrong.

(megaphone voice) Mr. Rove. Back away from the President-elect.

I don't know if this is a good endorsement or not. He did come close to predicting the election out come. If he is getting to be a good predictor of what is to come, then this is a positive sign.

His politics I don't agree with, but I hope that he is willing to help out by keeping his mouth shut.

rove is not a newsworthy person having his 'approval'
has the value of my retirement account that the last 8
years of mess (he orchestrated) has nearly emptied.

he along with the shrub and vice shrub should face
charges not only here but in the world court..

Roves' thoughts are irrelevant, whether he agrees or disagrees. He needs to understand the voters referendum and should just go away.

Rove is STILL a weasel!

Shouldn't he be looking for lawyer or fleeing the country?

Rove, shouldn't you be exiting the country stage right? I mean really, I would have thought with your impending trial that you would make like a tree and leaf.

Who really cares what Karl Rove thinks or says of anything? He is the last person who should be quoted for an opinion on the Obama Administration!

At first I thought he was trying to ingratitate himself to Obama in hopes of an appointment himself. You know, the old wolf in sheep's clothing. Then as I read on, it was clear that he is simply being Karl Rove. Anything he says covers something else, of course. Karl Rove is a Bush/Cheney political henchman with no principles whatsoever. The man is a political crook on the level with Rush Limbaugh and his ilk! I get the same creepy feeling when I look at an image of either one…..

No, indeed, I put no creedence in anything Karl Rove has to say about anything.

Get thee behind us those of you who have sold your souls to the Devil! You have done all the damage you can do. Now it is time for the powers of Good to claim the reigns of this government to right the wrongs done to this country!

Dramatic… yes! Harsh words for harsh times!

Oh wait……. what does Carl Rove know!! At least that is what the liberal posters were espousing during the campaign

Wow! Praises from this guy. Now I am sure both parties are in cahoots. This is the shakedown of America.

Can we please make this malevolent toad go away?

Why do we have to keep hearing from him? Hasn't he done enough damage yet?

Seriously, who cares what Karl Rove has to say?????

How much more Hot Air do we have to endure from the likes of Rove. He help usher in an unprecedented era of greed, corruption, division, Hate, and dragged Religion into the Gutter. Always disengenuous and narrow, we can do better than a man without conscious or love of country. Dastardly is the way of the scoundrel and America will not survive if it continues to follow his path to Hell.

Is it a good thing or bad thing that Rove is praising Obama?

there is talk of the RNC expressing strong views about the Obama staff selections…and yelling and screaming about how how those selections may not be consistent with change..
its fascinating how those people have HIGHLY SELECTIVE habits in how they view washington politics; when Bush and congress achieved dominance in 2006…does a single republican happen to remember which TWO of the 10 fingers they all used to single just how willing they were to work with the Dems??
the 2000-2006 washington DC attitude, under the R's…got underway, after their victories,with the STRONGEST of possible signals that the R's would have preferred to throw their democratic rivals off a speeding train…than to work with them…

and NOW…we are starting to hear about "discontentment" from the R's about some of the moves to fix the Apocalypse of the Bush years…someone should play the RNC some tape from just a few years ago…and watch the faces they make listening to themselves..

scott NH

Jeesh he must realize that ANYTHING or ANYBODY that Barack Obama chooses is much better than what Georgie has done!

Rowe should just go and crawl under a rock. As the man who helped bring us one of the worst presidents in history, I hold him equally responsible for all the lives, jobs and dreams both lost and crushed under the Bush administration.

Now he discovered a need for intelligent, mainstream advisers!
It only took 8 years and a, not too subtle, boot.

yeah mr. rove keep trying to butter things up and thinking thats going to keep you out of the "BIG HOUSE"

And people should trust this idiot. Anyone who gives this nut-job that gave two terms of Bush credibility should be stripped of his American citizenship.

One of the first things PE Obama should do is have this wacko investigated.

Who cares what this gluttonous pig says. He was instrumental in putting G. W. in office and should be imprisoned for his part in all the messes G. W. has gotten us into.

and we care what Rove says, because?? Go back into your cave Rove. No one cares.
