    You need to stop lying to yourself. If you continue like that you will end up living in a bubble completely detached from the reality. Obama totally betrayed people who elected him.

    Obama's Big Sellout: The President has Packed His Economic Team with Wall Street Insiders

    The president has packed his economic team with Wall Street insiders intent on turning the bailout into an all-out giveaway

    I'm not lying to myself, you're trying to move the ball.

    The bailouts that you're complaining about were going to be larger and have no strings attached had Bush lasted long enough to have his way.

    Yes, a lot of banking types found their way into the Obama adminstration.

    But he did not hint on day one that he was going to put a Goldman Sachs guy as head of the Treasury Department.

    BTW, if you're going to cite a source, try and find a credible one.

    Corrupt and inexperienced? The guy is still 2 months from taking office.

    Corrupt = cankle monster Hillary

    And inexperienced? What was the experience exactly that Obama brought to the dance 8 years ago?:roll:

    Your opinions are nothing more than wild conjecture, and clearly display the fact you're still butt hurt over the election results.

    This has nothing to do with you. You lost.

    Right here.

    And ABC wasn't my first source. I first learned of it from MSNBC, way back when I was a Liberal. This was early in the administration. I've often phrased my posts with the statement "I have a photographic memory" of the last eight years, because I do. Obama was no better than Bush in almost any regard.

    And now with Trump, we must say our collective prayers as a Nation.

    Nah, I am just tired of tax dollars paying for a stream of lies and distortions pouring out of public union PR departments who use hit pieces and resentment lie narratives to manipulate people.

    I would love to see public sector unions made illegal as part of the Trump Administration. That single step would go a long way to starting the healing process in this country.

    lmao. Love the apologism in here. Sure. Outsider Trump, The Fuehrer, hems and haws and settles for an insider and an Alt-right neo fascist demagogue nationalist. Don't worry guys, I'm anti-establishment, I'll just settle for neo-cons and political hacks after lying to you throughout my campaign. I'm not a politician (though retracting half of what I want, which I said just to get your vote...)

    Hilarious.

    Where'd you get that info? I watched Invaka on 60 Minutes last night, and she said she's not going to be a part of the administration. Hadn't heard the Palin claim either.

    Would it make sense to put a former governor of the largest state with the most natural resources in charge of Interior. Probably.

    He said nothing in his interview that amounted to anything. He claimed that it was going to be wonderful, cheap and everyone would love it.

    What does that mean?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Google it.

    And it would not make sense to put an incompetent twit who was too lazy to do the job she was elected to do in a bigger role.

    I'll second that. Along with Priebus, Trump also appointed Steve Bannon as his chief strategist and senior advisor. That does not bode well for minorities, and illegal immigrants might decide to flee the U.S. before they are incarcerated. Some Republican Party strategists on Monday denounced Trump’s decision to appoint Bannon to a top White House position, warning that Mr. Bannon represents nationalist and racist views that should be rejected by the incoming president.

    Congressional Republicans largely remained mute about the Bannon appointment while critics took to Twitter to lament what they said was a frightening normalization of the fringe views that Mr. Bannon promoted as the chairman of Breitbart News. The site has for years given voice to anti-Semitic, racist and white nationalist ideology. In other words, the Alt-right. The alt-right's points of unity lie in what they are against: multiculturalism, immigration, feminism and, above all, political correctness.

    We'll just have to wait and see how this plays out. In the meantime it would be well if everyone gave Trump the benefit of the doubt. Give him his honeymoon and then let's see how things stand.
