Joe Leiberman & Hillary Clinton Pardoned!
There is concern among some supporters of president elect Barack Obama, about his pardon of Joe Leiberman and Hillary Clinton. Both of whom said some very extreme, cantankerous, and caustic things about him during the primaries campaign. Hillary Clinton said on no uncertain terms that the president elect had no experience that matters. Except that he made a speech at the democratic convention in 2006, which he uses as the qualifying condition for him to be president.
And she served for years in many committees and outreach programs across the isle, that made her more qualified. She also claimed that president elect Barack Obama was not even ready to answer an emergency call in The White House at 3.00 am in the morning.
As for Joe Leiberman. This man was once a Democrat, then a Republican, and an Independent. Who moved from camp to camp whenever it suited his personal agenda, without concern or care about any particular camp or alliance. He called Barack Obama a man with a questionable character, who befriended a terrorist, hung out with him, and knew about his past terrorist activities. But still refused to denounce his friendship with this Bill Eyres, the alleged terrorist.
However, president elect Barack Obama has signaled to his contemporaries in The Congress, that he favors Joe Leiberman's continuing service with the democrats. Even though it bothers most democrats in the House, after all that he has done to ridicule the senator so blatantly and rudely in public.
I don't know if Hillary Clinton will accept or get the Secretary Of State position that seems to be in the offer to her. But if she does, that too will be another one of those contradictions with president elect Barack Obama's promise of 'turning the page' and taking a new approach to how politics and governance in Washington DC is conducted?
