She's the one who's ultimately going to fall on her sword, I believe. Her Sunday appearances were simply too poor a reflection on Obama. And Obama's rhetoric has been too harsh for everyone to survive.
It isn't as if she has that much pertinent experience, she was a manager and a political hack, at best. She'll no doubt get some other plumb somehow in the deal. Her going will be as corrupted by politics as was her coming.
All of Obama's decisions seem political. This one won't be much different. But I doubt he'll do it until he's back in DC so he can milk it, well after they put the fine points on whatever it'll take to get her to go without a fuss.

Speaking of swords, where is Mrs. Cinton? It was her State Department which approved the visa of a known terror suspect. Mrs. Clinton needs to either step up to the plate, or step down from her office.

I've been lobbying my Arizona friends to take her back. They refuse.

Let's not forget that the amnesty push is coming up. Janet Incompetano will stay or leave depending on what will best serve those who want to make instant citizens out of career criminals who have proven they do not want to be Americans, only to live and work here -- illegally is fine -- legally if that best serves those interests.

Does anybody believe at this point (if they ever did) that Obama has appointed a single person for his or her virtues or excellence in his/her field or distinguished record as a person who upheld the greater interests of country and principles over politics? This is the worst collection of re-treads, politial hacks, minor talents, unqualified partisans and qualified corruptocrats in modern times. It's almost as if he imposed an administrative mandate NOT to select extraordinary or talented people who would place national over partisan interest, and established a specific criteria for selecting human political detritus.

Part of the deal on her departure will be to come with a new euphemism for "boot, meet ass".

In reality , I think she's safer than most from being thrown 'under-the-bus , for no other reason that she isn't likely to "fit" ..... I've actually driven those things , and , trust me , the clearance between bumper and ground , isn't likely to "accomodate" her frame .... frank k . (N.Va.)

Imagine that. An empty suit appoints a herd of empty suits to fill slots requiring empty rhetoric and no real value to governing.I think rrpjr is on to something. Personally I think its great when DC is full of morons running the asylum,at least with this clown possy.
