There are, unfortunately, a LOT of other alternative selections. But you are right, its just stupidity related to important policy..we shouldn't be concerned when the most powerful man in the world makes a bonehead move like that. Its not like she gained access without vetting...that would never happen...and besides, there's no association there..so its not like he's hanging out with convicted felons, terrorists or other crazies, right? I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.

I find this terribly amusing. I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.

You're talking about someone in a PHOTO-OP....not a member of his cabinet. And you think they're equiv? Seriously d00d, you need to remember which administration claimed "The adults were back in charge".

Post #330,583 by Mycroft_Holmes_Iv 7/31/10 10:18:23 PM Reply	Re: Really I have to remind you? Again? Fair enough. The FBI Most Wanted Individual was Marc Rich. You might remember him, Clinton gave him a pardon. He hired a lawyer who wrote that pardon. Said lawyer went on to work for Dubya White House. He testified, under oath, that he thought Marc Rich was innocent. Furthermore, he personally called and congratulated Marc Rich when he was given the pardon. He further went on to get an obstruction of justice charge that was later commuted. The funny thing about it all...was that I wouldn't know any of this if it weren't for Republicans. They started Congressional Hearing into the Marc Rich affair which is how said lawyer got to give testimony. Actually, shortly after his giving of testimony, the entire matter was suddenly and completely dropped. These are the facts - and they are not in dispute.
