Obama follow Cheney example

Darth Cheney stacked MMS with Haliburton shills, allowing the oil industry to run rampant over America.

Barack Obama picked his Attorney General out of a lawfirm that represents Haliburton.

I voted for Obama because I had hope and wanted change. Why not a Greenpeace lawyer? Why not have the justice department led by a tough-nosed attorney who would root out corruption and prosecute it to the limits of the law?

Maybe Holder has some special knowledge that better enables him to do his job, maybe he's the straightest of arrows, but THE APPEARANCE OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST is too great to be ignored.

2. Yawn. Yea, Holder has a really

rotten resume. When you think of someone who is more qualified, let me know.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Holder

Holder previously served as a judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, United States Attorney, Deputy Attorney General of the United States and worked at the law firm of Covington & Burling in Washington, D.C. He was senior legal advisor to then-Senator Barack Obama during Obama's presidential campaign and one of three members of Obama's vice-presidential selection committee.

4. Obama

is a corporate loyalist.

He talks a good game - and did so as a candidate. Thing is we have to look beyond the rhetoric. Who really gives a shit what politicians say? Most of us care about what they do. And the single best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

Color me unimpressed with the Obama administration - and their corporate loyalties.
