    Saying "NO" to the President ...

    Not a word from the OLC-designate on Waco? Ruby Ridge? I did read correctly, did I not, that she served in the Clinton Administration? No "outrage" to spare for the crimes of Democrats, huh?

    Yeah, sure sounds like change a'comin ... plus ca change ... right?

    Nothing about the plans already openly discussed by Obama with Senate and Congress to bilk the US taxpayers of a further trillion dollars?

    But this is the woman who is going to say "No!" to the President? Who is going to keep him within the Constitutional limits of his position?

    ha ha ha ha ... I do not know which is sadder: what is happening to Americans or their total commitment to kidding themselves about it ...

    I guess you can't have one without the other.
