I am not surprised. If appointed these people will be permanent until. 2014. Time and Time again I have said that the Clinton appointees already served 4 years 1st Term in which they became entrenched in their positions, built up their knowledge whether good or bad and employed their friends to enfranchise themselves in these positions. Then they had another 4 years to become rich, wealthy and an expert on nothing. O their friends looked after their interest and NO ONE ELSE of the black race could get a job in these positions. Now President elect OBAMA has now returned and reappointed these same people to return back to a position of power. These same people who no longer employ or care about young black African men getting the opportunity to learn or grow in good jobs. Now President Bush has turned around and enfranchised his friends without asking President Elect Obama and then they have the audacity to have a get together on January 6 or 7. Yes folks young black men are being screwed royally welcome to the real world

There are still people who think this guy was good. He claims to have kept us safe, but wasn't he president on September 11, 2001? I am ashamed to be a baby boomer. How disgusting.

Quit your crying!! Every outgoing President does the same crap...even your beloved Bill "I didn't have sexual relations with that woman" Clinton. Get over it. Obama will do the same thing four years from now.

Has the EVER been a question about Bush's intention to destroy America ?
The man is worse than Bin Laden – the man he has spent the last 8 years protecting – beginning with the pullback of troops when we got too close to capturing him the first time. Iraq was a cover to protect Bin Laden and the Saudis – to whomBush is in debt up to his eyebrows. The man is a traitor to his country.

The President's packing of key offices with republican obstacles is just W's way of saying #$%k the Democrats. We can hardly wait until the investigations start. Then the Democrats will do a bit of packing of their own. .

Right to the end he is trying to pay off the republicrats/evangelicrats who voted for him and help put this country in the mess it is in today. Not to worry, 2009 will be a great year for all America and the whole world.

Based on George W. Bush's record of the past eight years, which shows poor judgment and biased opinion usually detrimental to the public good, all his appointments should be annulled or at least subject to serious scrutiny for the sake of public welfare.

Smooth move. This is exactly what America needs. More of the same incompetence led by the Bush epic debacle. Not the end of an ERROR. Hopefully Obama can chuck these shills.

This is one among many reason our political system is in such bad shape. No administration should be allowed to do this. I hope Obama will correct this kind of cronyism.

Oh, yes, I am sure that Bush plans to infiltrate as many of his team as he can so as to maintain as much control and influence as he can! I am truly appalled at the gall! Pardon me while I spit up in my mouth!
