Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske

The Seatle Police guild issued a vote of no-confidence in March 2002 and had a long, sour relationship with the chief.

Vice President Joe Biden will announce the decision to name Kerlikowske as U.S. drug czar at an event on Wednesday.

The position was cabinet level under Bush, it will not be under Obama. A report by the office in January found that the number of high school students using drugs dropped by 900,000 during the Bush administration.

Kerlikowske was long speculated to be the front-runner, but revelations about his stepson's arrest on drug-related charges complicated the nomination process.

Ooops, while looking for a mug shot of Curlykowski (is washington turning into an old three stooges rerun or what??), I just noticed that Biden jumped the gun and made the announcement five hours ago, heck.

Does anyone who is older ever remember any president who had anywhere close to all these problems with nominations before?

Charles W. Freeman Jr.'s abrupt withdrawal from his appointment as chairman of the National Intelligence Council came after he drew fire on a number of fronts - including questions about his financial ties to China and Saudi Arabia.


"I think he would have been able to withstand that if it was just a policy difference," said Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), a leading congressional critic. "What was fatal was a lack of disclosure."


One place where Freeman found no defenders, though, was the Obama White House - which prepared talking points and dossiers to defend other troubled nominees - but which stayed on the sidelines during the Freeman fight.

"The political people, and the [National Security Council] didn't seem to be in the loop on this," said one official who spoke to Obama aides about the question.

Altogether now; (key of A flat) :whistling:

Set Barry free!!!!


Yes, free the president from his flacks, fixers and goons -- his posse of smirky smart alecks and provincial rubes, who were shrewd enough to beat the slow, pompous Clintons in the mano-a-mano primaries but who seem like dazed lost lambs in the brave new world of federal legislation and global statesmanship.

Heads should be rolling at the White House for the embarrassing series of flubs that have overshadowed President Obama's first seven weeks in office.

I'm thinking Barry should fire everybody and start all over!!:scare:

How the airheads at Salon give Indonesian citizen Barry Soweto a by on making the choices he has made is beyond my comprehension, the media handed him the presidency and now he is the victim???

Give me a freaking break!!:question:
