Flumper Barflusterbutt Wrote:I have seen all of the stuff on it. For now, it appears Obama is in the clear, but I still can't imagine that a newly elected president wouldn't have his hands all over the choice for a replacement Senator. That governor could appoint a republican if he wanted to.
The weird thing is though, this governor was under investigation for other things and this just happened to come out during the surveillance.
I liked where Obama's right hand guy (can't think of his name, but his "karl rove"....edit "David Axlerod") did an interview not long ago and was asked if Obama was helping the governor find a replacement for his Senate seat and he said, "Of course. Obama has been in close conversations with the governor about that selection......blah blah blah".
Then yesterday he had to say, "I was mistaken. Mr. Obama never talked to the governor about that senate seat"

BIRD33 Wrote:You would think that Obama would have talked with the governor about his seat and I think thats what Axelrod was saying.From what I can tell they new this guy was toxic along time ago and have just been playing nice while keeping their distance.To not have the guy allowed on stage during the election night is a huge slap in the face to any governor.
Apparently Jesse Jacksons kid is one of the guys willing to pay for the seat.
The other weird senate appointment is Clintons New York seat and Caroline Kennedy throwing her hat in the ring.I'm a fan of the Kennedy family but to have no experience in government and because your dad was JFK you think you are qualified?Its an arrogant thing to propose for yourself and has no place in american politics in this day and age.
BIRD33 Wrote:Ventura was elected by the people.Arnold was elected by the people.Do you see how those people getting powerful government positions might have earned it?What has Caroline Kennedy earned in her whole lifetime?
Obama was a state legislator before he was a senator.What voter elected position has CK ever won that makes her as qualified as Obama?
I love how you think you are so smart but it takes so little effort to poke holes in all your arguments.

twice, if fact
you tell me if that means he was qualified
flumpy is killing you here
Flumper Barflusterbutt Wrote:Actually, Caroline Kennedy without any experience could probably run for a Senate seat and win it. Same way Hillary did.

you don't speak for a generation, oreo
