"Al, atheist from California" – What does Bush not being in prison have to do with whether or not these appointments are good choices? Oh yeah, NOTHING.
i wonder how much these people donated to the Republican party
Fill them now befor Bamabi fills them with Clinton cast off's.
Go away, President Lame Duck. Stop doing anything. You are so tainted.
He just can't leave things alone can he?
Can we downsize government to help with the budget, and in doing so lay off ALL the Bush appointees off (last in, first out)?
We need to hit the undo button on Bush. He is a madman gone crazy.
I HATE TO SEE HIM GO I THINK HE IS GREAT PRES. HE MADE AMERICA SAFER AFTER SEP. 11, AND STRONGER ALSO .LOWER TAXES . THE ECONOMIC PROBLEM, AND HOUSEING WAS CLINTONS THING HE STARTED IT BECAUSE HE WANTED EVERYONE TO BUY A HOUSE EVEN IF THEY COULD NOT PAY FOR IT !!! ( HOUSING ACT )
7 years without a single terrorist attack on our soil-well done-
how will Obama improve on a 100% perfect record?--
He can't--better buy your armored cars and flak jackets NOW.
Any appointments made by this criminal should be considered "tainted" as well and should be ignored by U.S. lawmakers and citizens.
I think these people will feel a little uneasy with the all the smart folks that Obama has in place. They probably won't last very long when they are expected to actually DO SOMETHING! This will surely work itself out.
He's been helping out his friends ever since he got into office; it's just more blatant now.
Doesn't he have an appointment for his housekeeper?
Come on... this man will be making cronie appointmenst until the day he leaves Washington. This man and his family has NO shame.... none whatsoever! Disgusting......
He is just like the energizer bunny, he just keeps going and going through taxpayer money.
I wish you ill will coward Bush.
Trying to infect the Obama administration I see. That should be against the law to ensure someone's job in the next administration at the last minute. What's up Bush jealous Obama's been making so many appointments and you want the spotlight too? lol Jan. 20th can't come fast enough!
I couldn't believe it when CNN announced that potty mouth Kathy Griffin would be co-host with Anderson Cooper at the dropping of the ball in Times Square on New Year's Eve. You must have scrapped the bottom of the barrell. Yuk!
Who cares? Bush is done, thank God
Bush the Traitor... just up to his same old tricks... Can't wait for the lawsuits and trials for crimes against humanity and treason begin!
Anybody and anything will be better than the bimbo's of the bush administration who have ruined this country even though the extreme right thinks things are and were just fine for the last 8 years. To them I say, "get a life!"
Politics = favors. Period.
Every successful politician has gotten where they are via political favors, and Obama is no exception.
Has Dubya appointed anyone to the building committee for his Presidential Library yet? Will his library have any books? Isn't that a non sequitur?
President Bush . . . Library
Maybe he should get a born again Presidential Church, or a George W. Bush Presidential baseball park (minor league of course.) But a presidential library assumes he has actually thought enough about the job he was charged with doing that archiving all of his extensive notes, papers, and detailed deliberations on the theoretical and/or strategic directions he has led the coutry in, would be of interest to future presidents.
The deep and critical thinking that this president has engaged in over the last 8 years could be covered in one thin paper back, but only if you threw in a lot of pictures.
Just another way to leave garbage in his wake.
BUSH IS PATHETIC........Thank god the evil Bush empire has been destroyed forever......
Its a new world folks!!!
WE LOVE YOU OBAMA
I'm sure this ticks off PE Obama and I hope they will go after him and his cronies for for the devastation of our great country. Some of these appointments last up to 6 years after bush leaves office. This kind of actions by a lame duck President is just sickning. Just the more we Dems will have to work hard starting 2010 to recruit more voters in the coming years. The only way our Country will become strong and stay strong is if we oust the Reps forever!!! I'm lost for words out of anger towards the WORST PRESIDENT IN U S HISTORY.
