Lock the revolving door.
Why not give the job to J Edger Issa ?
Just another acknowledgement by Obama that Bush was superior when picking members of his administration. Obama realizes in order to get anything done, ya need to kick the do nothing Democrats out and bring in the Republicans. After all they can get things done.
Excellent idea thats one job which requires a "total man" a man with bigger cajones.
Although Mr. Comey is a Bush appointee, he is a man of integrity. I think he is the ideal man for the job.
