SCOTUS foreshadowing? Did he interview her?

[Subdivisions]

1. Judging by the look on her face, I'd say he did. n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. They were both slated to give speeches.

I think that's what went on. :hi:

[Enrique]

3. Obama makes sure to see what all his candidates look like in a robe

most presidents skip that part of the vetting process. :thumbsup:

[Beartracks]

4. OMG, he's putting his hand over his heart!!

When did he start respecting the flag and the country??
:sarcasm:

6. Obama SC Justice after 2017

I am hoping that after 2017, once President Obama has served his eight years, that the next president will nominate President Obama to the SCOTUS :)

When he leaves the oval office he will only be like 55 or 56 years old, so he would be the perfect age :)

9. To replace Scalia...

7. When Michigan is not an absolute shit hole

Then we can consider promotions for the people running it.

11. The blame should be on

John Engler.

[Taitertots]

13. There is plenty of blame to go around

John Engler starts the list. He has been gone for quite some time and there is no sign of a turn around. At what point do we have to say her leadership, while better than Engler is not working. Where is the turn around after almost seven years?

Do we really need to start a list of people whose influence on Michigan was far worse, to complain about Granholm? I'll start with Bush and Engler.

[safeinOhio]

15. In the same way

Bush left a mess for Obama, Engler spent the rainy day surplus, cut the shit out of taxes and then left.

[Taitertots]

17. How long does recovery from Engler need to take?

How long does recovery from Bush need to take? Obama still has plenty of grace period to implement his vision for recovery. Granholm's is running out fast.

At some point it stops becoming Engler's fault for the things he did in the past and starts becoming Granholm's fault for stuff she is doing/not doing in the present.

16. Don't for get that POS Abraham. nt

[boobooday]

10. UM gets Obama

We got the director of the National Hurricane Center.

Sigh.

12. Question 1

So what was up with that whole screwing up Michigan's primary elections in 2008 and why does that qualify you for the highest court in the land?


(Yes I am still bitter)

14. I hope so ..... Gov Granholm is my favorite !

She is a great leader.
