B-Man Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 THAT VOW WAS JUST FOR THE RUBES: Whatever happened to that smooth presidential transition Obama vowed? Andrew Malcolm: Since Obama vowed to run a smooth presidential transition, what’s the real point of picking a tardy diplomatic scuffle with Putin? What’s the real point of setting Israel (and the annoying Netanyahu) adrift at the United Nations now? Why issue all these offshore drilling bans and new federal regulations? Why commute more federal prison sentences than a dozen past presidents combined? Why keep releasing Guantanamo terrorists when so many return to their homicidal careers? For the first time in nearly a century a former president decided to reside in Washington. Obama has rented a mansion and office space where he’ll be easily accessible to media friends for, say, kibitzing his successor – unlike Obama’s predecessor, who went silent for more than a year. Obama is the Loki of presidential politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obama is the Loki of presidential politics. The transition is smooth. Obama never promised that the Trump Administration's governance would be, however.

Dante Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) More Than 1,100 Law Professors Oppose Jeff Sessions; Nobody Should Care by David French Via the front page of the Washington Post website comes the “news” ( ) that more than 1,100 law professors signed their names to a letter urging the Senate to reject Jeff Sessions’s nomination for attorney general. I’m sorry, but the cost of relentless academic partisanship is academic credibility. Is it “news” that leftists don’t like a conservative nominee? Perhaps if law schools were known for scrupulous nonpartisan hiring practices and balanced presentations of ideological issues, the letter would be compelling. But they’re not, and it’s not. {snip} What’s actually happening is that a collection of liberals are using the (rapidly-diminishing) prestige of their institutions and profession to make news when there is none. Of course liberals oppose a conservative nominee, and of course academic liberals are prone to play the race card. If any of them wish to make a detailed case based on law and facts, then make that case. Until then, however, their letter is little more than an especially pretentious version of a Change.org petition.

Chuck Schumer has already promised to drag out Trump’s cabinet confirmation process for months, so really this story is just the warmup. . Funny the left can't imagine any other system of picking a cabinet than the Affirmation Action model. What a revolutionary idea that positions are assigned on the basis of merit!

DC Tom Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Not quite his face on a $3 bill, but you have to laugh: US Military Commander in Chief Gives Himself Defense Dept. Medal for Distinguished Public Service. 1) The Secretary of Defense awards it. A shade of difference, sure...but it's not like Obama said "I'm giving myself a medal!" 2) Giving the exiting president this medal has become something of a tradition. Bush got one. More hilariously, so did Clinton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Some suggest (I don't know) that he was not really even eligible for this award.........just private citizens. Wrong site. The medal Obama received was a DOD medal; you're referencing an Army site. From what I read, the medal can be awarded to elected officials. But what I saw wasn't authoritative either.

boyst Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 at first i believed trumps son in law was just simple nepotism. while it may be a touch of this i also think it is not a bad idea as he has a good relationship with trump and it is a working relaitonship in which they trust each other. that could be a good thing. either way, he's a senior adviser now.
