Uh, tell me again why I should vote for Obama? What party is he affiliated with? Obama probably thinks this move will endear him to the GOP.
Obama Ignores Democratic Choices for Texas U.S. Attorneys; Chooses 4 GOP Favorites
By Andrew Ramonas
June 29, 2011
President Barack Obama snubbed Texas Democrats on Tuesday and nominated Republican picks for leaders of all four U.S. Attorneys' offices in Texas.
Obama tapped John Malcolm Bales for the Easter District of Texas, Kenneth Magidson for Southern District of Texas, Robert Pitmanfor the Western District of Texas and Sarah Saldana for the Northern District of Texas. Texas Republican Senators John Cornyn and KayBailey Hutchison recommended the nominees for Obama in October 2009.
But the nominess were not on the list the Texas House Democrats led by Rep. Lloyd Doggett sent to the President in October 2009. And Doggett is not pleased.
Full story here.
I wonder if Al Gore is ready to run again? At least I know he's a Democrat.
Never pass up a chance to sit down or relieve yourself.
