Penny Pritzker…? Like I said….not exactly the “change” we were led to believe…

Penny Pritzker in line for Cabinet - Chicago Breaking News

…..some of her business dealings may also raise tough questions during any confirmation process. She was involved in running and overseeing Superior Bank, an Illinois institution co-owned by her family that was at the forefront of turning subprime loans into securities, the risky practice at the heart of the financial crisis. The bank collapsed in 2001 after regulators discovered accounting irregularities that overstated its assets.

Pritzker Is Front-Runner for Commerce - washingtonpost.com

Sources close to Obama said Pritzker is conducting an extensive review of her vast financial holdings and weighing whether she can disentangle herself to the extent necessary to meet Obama’s strict standards for service in his administration. Assuming she can, Obama sources said, the job is hers.

Sources: Pritzker, Napolitano being vetted for Cabinet - CNN.com

sources say Prtizker would accept the job, which would be formally offered after vetting is complete. But whether the rigors of the Obama vetting process will present a challenge to a businessperson with no record in public office — and presumably extensive financial holdings — is still a question.

Rigors of the Obama vetting process… are you kidding me..?
Being involved in one of the largest bank failures of its time? One would think the “rigors” of “the Obama vetting process” would drop Penny Pritzker right off the balance sheet.

He Ayman, many of us Americans may have not voted for Obama but he is our President and guess what..?  From where I stand you just help unify America a little more, how do I know..? Because this Texas white boy (not that my color matters) just realized how fiercely he would defend the name and honor of our soon to be inaugurated President Elect Barack Obama, any time any place especially when it comes to threats and insults from the likes of your sorry, ignorant, soon to be extinct ass.

Hell you even managed to piss off CNN with your racist tirade, now if you find yourself the target of an Olbermann “Special Comment” you know your toast.

Obama, terrorists, racism, zawahiri, america, patriotism

This is a another joke….right…?

Is Barack Obama really putting Penny Pritzker in his cabinet as Secretary of Commerce? The same Penny Pritzker of the Pritzker Family that still has 7 years to go in paying back the U.S.Federal Government $460 MILLION for one of the largest bank failures back in 2001.

Penny Pritzker, Obama’s finance chair, said to be Commerce choice - Los Angeles Times

CNN, quoting “multiple sources,” is reporting this evening that Penny Pritzker is the top choice of President-elect Barack Obama to become his secretary of Commerce.

The 49-year-old billionaire was national finance chair of Obama’s record-breaking presidential campaign that raised in the neighborhood of $640 million.

Hyatt Hotel Family Will Pay $460 Million in S.& L. Case - New York Times

The Pritzkers, one of the nation’s wealthiest families and heirs to the fortune created by the Hyatt hotels, agreed today to pay a record $460 million to the federal government to avoid being punished for the failure of Superior Bank F.S.B., the big savings and loan institution that regulators seized last summer.

Federal officials said the payment, which will be spread out over 15 years, is the largest settlement ever in the failure of a banking institution. The failure itself is one of the largest in the last decade, one that some estimate could cost the government up to $1 billion.

A Penny for Obama’s Subprime Thoughts and Lies

As Obama has been denouncing and blaming every republican for the subprime mortgage problem, Obama has been hiding the fact that his NATIONAL FINANCE CHAIRWOMAN is Penny Pritzker, Who is Penny Pritzker you ask?

Do we need anymore evidence proving the intentions of the Democrats and Stewart Smalley (aka Al Franken) are out to steal an election in Minnesota away from Senator Norm Coleman?

RedState: Stealing Minnesota: Al Franken Wants To Count Empty Ovals, Not Marked Ovals

I bet you won’t be surprised to learn Al Fraken is contesting that vote.

So, no marks at all go to Franken. Any mark for Coleman must be challenged.

Whistleblower » Blog Archive » One challenge headed to the state so far in Plymouth

The bubble beside Norm Coleman’s name appeared to have both an X and a squiggle in it, but the Al Franken campaign wants the state Canvassing Board to rule on whether it should count. That’s the only challenge in the special envelope in Plymouth so far, according to Sandy Engdahl, the city clerk and the official running the city recount.

Ayman al-Zawahiri becomes the Al Sharpton of the Middle East:

Al-Qaeda leader racially abuses Barack Obama - Telegraph

Al-Qaeda’s second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has used a racial slur to demean President-elect Barack Obama implying he does the bidding of whites.

Gateway Pundit has the answer:
Gateway Pundit: Al-Qaeda’s #2 Al-Zawahiri Calls Obama a “House Negro”

Outrageous. That sounds like the same response Condi got from Far Left loons.
Maybe if Obama met with him without preconditions that would help smooth things out?

Someone should inform al-Zawahiri that Mr. Obama’s mother was white.

There are also archival videos in the message, including clips of speeches from Malcolm X.

“You have reached the position of president, and a heavy legacy of failure and crimes awaits you. A failure in Iraq to which you have admitted, and a failure in Afghanistan to which the commanders of your army have admitted,” the message said.

Are you kidding me…?

Powering Up : Obama’s Attorney General

President-elect Obama has decided to tap Eric Holder as his attorney general, putting the veteran Washington lawyer in place to become the first African-American to head the Justice Department, according to two legal sources close to the presidential transition.

What’s that..? The name Eric Holder sounds familiar..?
CNN.com - Report revives Clinton pardon flap - March 14, 2002

The committee’s ranking Democrat, Rep. Henry Waxman of California, also was critical. “There are a lot of omissions in it. There are some mis-statements in it. It’s not a good quality piece of work,” he said.

The report suggests that former Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder was directly involved in orchestrating the pardon, by working with Rich’s attorney, Jack Quinn.

“Jack Quinn and … Holder worked together to ensure that the Justice Department, especially the prosecutors of the Southern District of New York, did not have an opportunity to express an opinion on the Rich pardon before it was granted,” the report states.

Eric Holder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As Deputy Attorney General, Holder was, along with Jack Quinn, at the center of the controversial pardon of fugitive Marc Rich. Holder gave a “neutral, leaning towards favorable” opinion of the pardon to Clinton, which led to the pardoning of Rich on Clinton’s last day in office.[6]

Barack Obama putting Eric Holder at Attorney General:

On April 14, 1997, President Clinton nominated Mr. Holder to be the Deputy Attorney General. He was confirmed by a Senate vote of 100 to 0 and was sworn in as Deputy Attorney General of the United States on July 18, 1997, in a private ceremony. He is the first African-American to serve as Deputy Attorney General. A public ceremony attended by Attorney General Janet Reno and other dignitaries was held on September 5, 1997. As Deputy Attorney General, Mr. Holder is responsible for the supervision of the day-to-day operation of the Department of Justice. He began the Department’s Children Exposed to Violence Initiative and has emphasized enforcement efforts in health care fraud and computer crimes. Deputy Attorney General Holder has also been an advocate for the concept of community prosecution which seeks to connect more directly prosecutors with the citizens they serve. He is now the highest ranking black person in law enforcement in the history of the United States.

Deputy Attorney General Holder has been active in the organization Concerned Black Men. This group seeks to help the youth of the District of Columbia with many of the problems they face, ranging from teenage pregnancy to sub-par academic achievement. Mr. Holder lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife, Sharon Malone, who is a doctor in obstetrics and gynecology, and his children, Maya, Brooke and Eric.

How Obama Got Elected

On November 4th, 2008 millions of Americans were shocked that a man of Barack Obama’s limited experience, extreme liberal positions and radical political alliances could be elected President of the United States. For many of these Americans, the explanation was rather simple… the news media, completely enamored with Obama, simply refused to do their job.

Change you don’t have to count….If you’re Obama that is.

Obama has received millions $$ from overseas donors, intentionally turned off all safeguards when it came to online credit card donations, lied when he said he would follow the route of public campaign finance, paid ACORN almost ONE MILLION Dollars to bring him votes and now John McCain has to spend over 9 MILLION to investigate himself?

Welcome to Obam-A-merica!

McCain will use $9.4 million from his legal and accounting compliance fund to help pay for the investigation into how he spent his money.

Obama likely to escape campaign audit - Kenneth P. Vogel - Politico.com

The Federal Election Commission is unlikely to conduct a potentially embarrassing audit of how Barack Obama raised and spent his presidential campaign’s record-shattering windfall, despite allegations of questionable donations and accounting that had the McCain campaign crying foul.

Isn’t it ironic that it’s the left that resorts to violence when they don’t get their way here in America.
From the Radical enviro-terrorists to the Anti-Military groups to the reemerging domestic terrorist Bill Ayers to the Radical “Gay-Rights” thugs who are now terrorizing churches.

As the father of domestic terrorism and the “Family Friend” of Barack Obama Bill Ayers says… terrorism is just fine as long as you feel your cause is just.

It just proves the point that the conservative mindset is far less likely to resort to violence because if it was every one of these sad sack, sorry ass America hating groups would be crushed without breaking a sweat.

Daily Herald - Vandalism over Prop. 8 denounced

Following an FBI report that the white powder that spilled onto a mail clerk’s hand at Temple Square is nontoxic, local gay rights advocacy groups have condemned any acts of non-peaceful protest against The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

And then you have complete MORONS like John Aravosis who runs Ameriblog calling for a boycott of Utah?
Ahhhh….ummmm…..pretending for a split moment that Aravosis has a point, it’s California that voted to ban gay marriage not Utah.

Oh and just a side note:

Actress Lindsay Lohan was pelted with a flour bomb when she arrived at a Paris nightclub wearing a fur stole.

Notice how Democrats are only interested in counting votes when they lose. Al Franken lost to Senator Norm Coleman but now the democrats are pulling out all the stops in an attempt to steal the election.

This must be an Al Franken recount because it reads like a scene from a Saturday Night Live script.

Minnesota Democrats Exposed

“Let’s assume the 32 disputed ballots in Minneapolis were legitimate. Let’s assume the newly discovered 100 votes in Pine County — all for Al Franken — were just overlooked by a sleepy official, and the 100 votes found in Mountain Iron — again, all for Franken — were valid.

Mischief in Minnesota? - WSJ.com

The vanishing Coleman vote came during a week in which election officials are obliged to double-check their initial results. Minnesota is required to do these audits, and it isn’t unusual for officials to report that they transposed a number here or there. In a normal audit, these mistakes could be expected to cut both ways. Instead, nearly every “fix” has gone for Mr. Franken, in some cases under strange circumstances.

For example, there was Friday night’s announcement by Minneapolis’s director of elections that she’d forgotten to count 32 absentee ballots in her car. The Coleman campaign scrambled to get a county judge to halt the counting of these absentees, since it was impossible to prove their integrity 72 hours after the polls closed. The judge refused on grounds that she lacked jurisdiction.

Some democrats all but admit how they are going to steal the election for Franken using the already in place guidelines. Hiding votes in car trunks and attics…No big deal.

The courts have already rejected a claim that Hennepin County cannot count absentee ballots because they were accidentally left in an election official’s car. Republicans are criticizing St. Louis County (where Duluth is), another Franken stronghold, because the county stores its ballots in the courthouse attic. But that just happens to be the location of a secure room to which the county auditor and chief election official have the only two keys.

What the democrats wont touch or answer is how many Coleman votes are making their way into the trash as the DEMOCRAT election officials transfer the “new found” ballots from their car trunks to the recount table?

There are many steps to a certified election result in Minnesota and each, to Franken’s benefit

The Democrat Firewall

Katherine Kersten - Could Senate recount referee’s resume color the result?

On the day before last week’s election, the respected on-line journal Politico predicted that these SOS victories would bear fruit this year. “Democrats have built an administrative firewall designed to protect their electoral interests in five of the most important battleground states,” Politico said. As a result, they are now “in a more advantageous position when it comes to the interpretation and administration of election law — a development that could benefit Barack Obama if any of those states are closely contested.”

That advantageous position could also benefit a Democrat in a pivotal Senate race, they might have added.

Ritchie said in an interview that he will be impartial in the Coleman-Franken recount. “Just two months ago, we ran two really great primary recounts, and I’m looking forward to the four recounts coming up,” he said.

Thus far, Ritchie has shown no evidence of misconduct. But many Minnesotans are questioning the openness and transparency of the vote tally that just ended.
