| Obama's Dream Team - Attorney General |
| 2008-11-10 |
| Name: Jamie Gorelick Being considered for: Attorney general Would bring to the job: A wide-ranging Washington résumé that spans corporate, legal and national security affairs. Ms. Gorelick (pronounced Guh-REH-lick) was the No. 2 official at the Justice Department in the Clinton administration, from 1994 to 1997, and if chosen would be the second woman to be named attorney general, following her former boss, Janet Reno. Ms. Gorelick would also bring corporate experience to an Obama administration at a time of financial crisis. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. |

| #7 Jamie Gorelick was the one that created the legal wall between our intelligence agencies like the CIA and domestic ones like the FBI. She was one of the contributors to 9-11 through her policies. And to boot, she was on the 9-11 commission. Change, my a$$. This is more business as usual. These morons are going to get us attacked again through their stupidity and incompetence. |

| #4 When Bush Jr. used his dad's ol partners, Rummy and his band of thugs, he learned just how bad that decision was. Obama should have taken note, now he will go down that same path as Bush Jr. Expect him to make executive decisions based on polls, just like Clinton. At least we will see it comming at us. |

| #3 Are there any executives from the FMs which *aren't* being considered for cabinet posts? How about Frank's boyfriend? |

| #1 Baggage: Her work at Fannie Mae, which had to be bailed out by the government in September as part of a $200 billion deal. Ms. Gorelick left the company just as it was coming under attack for huge accounting failures. She has also drawn criticism for her role at the Justice Department, in which she allegedly created an intelligence “wall” that hindered counterterrorism agents in the years before the Sept. 11 attacks. She sounds perfect. When can ya start, hon? |
