The Early News on Obama's DOT & FAA picks

He writes that former Clinton appointees are coming back, notably Frederica Pena and Jane Garvey. Also, he points out the default position for our President Elect is "how'd Bill run this place?"

IMHO some of Bill's Administration worked pretty well, but then again you have the failings that resulted in 9/11.

My God, he needs take some drugs for those metaphor attacks!

The inaccuracies in that article are just mind-blowing.

I voted for McCain (as did most of TN), so understand, I'm not an Obama supporter, and those possible appointments DO concern me, but that guy obviously has an axe to grind, as several of his statements are made in ignorance, if not just outright falsehood.

Not impressed.

 

[twepilot]

why not? He's got the rest of the Clintonistas under review or selected already.

If the US takes a terrorist attack again, most likely it is going to come into our nation through a gateway controlled by a DOT Administrator. It might be a truck inspection, or a container ship, or God forbid, another attack against our fellow crewmembers.

These are important jobs.

Because they couldn't afford them?

Lear - People rise to the position when called by their President.

On the other hand, Lizzie Dole who gave us flight crews going through security with passengers and random drug and alcohol is out of a job.

No fins, you're right, I was being trite, just as a way to inject a little humor in an otherwise humorless situation.

I agree, it seems the old regime is coming home to roost, but was anyone really expecting anything different? Other than more taxes for people in the 80k+ income range?

What are you guys so worried about. We got the TSA to protect us.

 

[SMOE]

Perhaps that was the price for the Bill and Hill team rooting for the Messiah. Hillary might have gotten into the office afterall...

Other than more taxes for people in the 80k+ income range?

80K+, what have you been drinking?

Try 350k+.....

Am I missing something? I assume you are refering to Mary Schiavo, perhaps the worst example of a public servant this country has seen in a long time, and yet the article mentions Pena coming back. I don't get the connection and it appears to me IF Pena came back, Mary Schiavo would be the last person to be offered a position.

Try 350k+.....

Do you own property you plan on selling?

Do you own a small business on the side?

Some of us do... Do your research of what he really plans and how he's going to pay for it. There's a REASON every bank in the country is scrambling to offload their foreclosed property.

My best friend is a tax attorney. Her clients are scrambling to make MAJOR changes to their portfolios, put investments in to S-corps, etc, etc, because of what the incoming administration is proposing. She's not an alarmist type of person, but she's telling me to be worried - she's never done that before.

I hope he's not successful in all his bullsh*t programs he wants. You can kiss a lot of American jobs goodbye if he is. Reinstating a lot of retreads into his cabinet will do nothing but help push those programs through Congress and the Senate. Those people are old-school, have a lot of people they've allied with, and things are going to change...

I just don't think you're going to like the fallout.

Lear:

Sage advice. Our United States is taking a big course change, much of it under the Republicans' administration. Political party differences aside, the decisions being made by our Nation's leadership are scary.

Do you think there is some reason other than the obvious reason why banks are offloading non-performing assets?

I'd really like to find a little offshore haven. The one I thought was going to work out has the same issues the US has. I guess this works:
