Obama Sure Knows How To Pick Winners

FBI Arrests Two After Raiding Office of Obama's Pick for Information Officer


FBI agents have made two arrests after raiding the D.C. office of the man tapped to be President Obama's chief information officer, sources told FOX News.
The agents on Thursday morning raided the office of Vivek Kundra, who was leaving his post as the D.C. chief technology officer to join the administration. The investigation is related to allegations of corruption, one source said, but is not targeting Kundra.
FBI agents arrested a District of Columbia government worker, Yusuf Acar, as well as Sushil Bansal, who works for a company called Advanced Integrated Technologies Corp, sources said. Both are expected in court later Thursday.
FBI spokeswoman Lindsay Gotwin would not describe the nature of the probe.
"It's an ongoing law enforcement investigation," she said.
In a March 5 White House press release, the administration said it chose Kundra to be the federal chief information officer because of his "depth of experience in the technology arena and a commitment to lowering the cost of government operations to this position."
The chief information officer is responsible for overseeing federal technology spending.
FOX News' Mike Levine and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The guy picked to join the administration is not being targeted in the investigation. It says so right there in your post. So your thread title doesn't make sense in this case, although there is no doubt a lot of his appointees have been pretty bad.

I was sitting at my dest on hold while reading the article and some how missed that in the article and noticed it after I posted the article. Even though he is not involved it seems eveyone he picks have something happen to them shortly after.

can we give it a break?

:doh: :doh:

can we give it a break?

no!!!!!!!!!

no!!!!!!!!!


Ok, weird.

Here's the story that sends me over the edge:

CNSNews.com - Justice Dept. Investigates Arizona Sheriff for Enforcing Immigration Law (http://cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=44899)

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched an investigation of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office in Arizona following requests by congressional Democrats and allegations by liberal activists that the department has violated the civil rights of illegal aliens.

Reps. John Conyers (D-Mich.), Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), and Robert Scott (D-Va.) requested the investigation, and activists groups such as National Day Laborer Organizer Network and ACORN launched petition drives and rallies in support of the probe.

The investigation focuses on Sheriff Joe Arpaio and dozens of officers under his command who were trained through the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Agreements of Cooperation in Communities to Enhance Safety and Security (ACCESS), which partners federal and local law enforcement to enforce immigration laws. (The Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement division is known popularly as ICE.)


Now, I know Arpaio is a self promoter, but this is bullshit. The message is clear to local jurisdictions: if you don't want the justice department to hassle you, don't enforce the immigration laws. Don't even send your people for ICE training because we're investigating that as well. And why can four dopey congresspeople, all from states other than Arizona, get a local Sherriff investigated just by picking up the phone? Isn't that the sort of thing the Liberals were always accusing Karl Rove of? And, what the **** does Bobby Scott know about Maricopa County, Arizona?

Under the Obama Administaration you're free to break the law as long as you belong to an ethnic minority that consistently votes Democratic. The Justice Department is on the case. We should not be surprised, though, as this is the logical outcome of the corrupt Chicago mentality that is now running the executive branch. They take care of their friends, they screw their enemies (the domestic ones at least), and they know which is which.

can we give it a break?

Why should a break be given? I don't really understand that comment. No political appointees get to just avoid scrutiny or news headlines, especially not in DC where every thing is NEWS.

At least he didn't appoint his cleaning lady...or Mike Brown.
