You must have some very good sources--you know so much more about how it went down than anyone else seems to. Yes, a knee jerk reaction " by the Obama administration", which is all that anyone, including you, knows. "Due diligence" has nothing to do with Obama's relationship to Sherrod, it has to do with confirming facts before making judgments or decisions. You could look it up, as Casey S. used to say. >The DOJ just confirmed that political or patronage position like US >attornies can be fired at any time for any reason. Sherrod was a >political problem for Obama and the Democrats just like Rangel and >Waters are now problems for Obama and the Democrats. But, Obama can't >fire Rangel or Waters, however, Obama can come out and effectively say >that he hopes that Rangel enjoys his retirement from public service. The >question will be whether Rangel and Waters fall on their swords and take >one for the team, the Democrat team. The legal facts are not at issue, because they are beside the point here--and who would have to wait for a DOJ confirmation of the legal position? It's standard practice and common knowledge for most Americans. As it turned out, Sherrod was NOT a political problem for Obama, as the quick turnabouts made clear. And the quick turnabouts were necessary because of only two things: Bartbreit's mendacious tampering with the video and the failure of due diligence on the part of the press and the administration. -- Don Kirkman donsno2(a)charter.net
