Eric Holder's Clinton-ista Past
Another ghost of Clinton past will be joining the Obama administration. Eric Holder, who has recently accepted President-elect Obama's invitation to join his cabinet as Attorney General. While Holder will be the first African American appointed to ever hold this office, he is no stranger to working for a former President. Holder worked in the Clinton administration and was involved in the Presidential pardon of Marc Rich before Clinton left office. Although Clinton was the man behind Rich's pardon, Holder did play a significant role in the pardon oversight process, as he gave recommendations to the President. He even admits his wrong doing!
If Obama wants to be the great change agent in Washington, then he needs to rid himself of corruption from the Clinton Administration. Otherwise, we will no doubt have front row seats to an interesting four years.

Hillary for Secretary of State...Huh?!?
According to the New York Post, it appears that Barack Obama is considering naming Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. Now, what has Hillary Clinton done to be considered worthy of this title? Or, will Bill Clinton be feeding Hillary advice about how to be diplomatic?
This should be an interesting cast of characters being nominated for positions within the Obama administration. After all, they do have an interesting screening process. The New York Times featured the questionnaire sent out to prospective Obama administration officials. Check out the questionnaire here. I wonder if Hillary had to fill it out, because if she did, the questionnaire probably avoided the ethical questions.

Connolly Reveals His Agenda
BVBL reports that Gerry Connolly has decided to reveal his true agenda, which will include raising the gas tax to pay for transportation improvements. Connolly made this comment on WTOP's Politics Program with Mark Plotkin. Connolly said, "If the gas tax is the way we do that, so be it. It hasn't been raised in a long time," Connolly said. "I hate to talk about raising taxes first thing out, but we have to stabilize the revenue source for the Federal Highway Trust Fund."
Now, why didn't Gerry share this with the voters in the 11th district before last Tuesday? Connolly should know that raising taxes is not the solution to the transportation crisis. Cutting back on unnecessary programs is the first step to the crisis, so that more money will be available. Anyone with common sense would know this, but Gerry doesn't realize this and his DC office phones will be ringing off the hook for the next two years with angry complaints from his constituents.

Obama: Ready to Lead Now
According to Newsbusters.com, Obama's transition co-chair Valerie Jarrett made a statement on Meet The Press that states how Barack Obama will waste no time ruling the country. Doesn't this already confirm our worries that Obama will pushing his liberal agenda forward? Jarrett said, "given the daunting challenges that we face, it's important that president elect Obama is prepared to really take power and begin to rule day one."
Well, fasten your seat belts, folks. The Obama administration promises a bumpy ride for the next four years.

Obama: Who will I tax first?
You know the famous statement: "Democrats like to tax everything. When something is born, they tax it. When a business grows, they regulate it. When something dies, they subsidize it." Well, the very first thing President-elect Obama wants to do is start working on jump starting the economy, and his plan is to provide tax relief for the middle class. I guess that tax relief will be in the form of economic stimulus checks, which will have to paid back to the government. So, it appears that taxes will no doubt increase.
The Dallas Morning News reports that Obama also has his eyes, not just on the economy, but on health care and education reform, as well as withdrawing troops from Iraq. All things that will cost the United States more debt over time. The enacting of these reforms are only going to cause the economy to spiral further in decline.
Hopefully, Obama will reach across the aisle and seek common sense proposals that will help put America back on the right track. Taxing people in a troubled economy will only result in more people who will be poverty stricken or deciding whether they will have to choose between rent or food.

Al Gore, Famous Internet Inventor Says His Creation Will Save The Earth
This just in: Al Gore, creator of the Internet says his creation will now save the Earth after the recent election of President-elect Barack Obama. According to Breitbart.com, Gore made these comments at a Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco. Gore said, "The Internet's critical role in Democrat Obama's victory in the presidential race against Republican John McCain was a "great blow for victory" in addressing a "democracy crisis" stifling action against climate change."
Amazing, Al Gore will claim that he saved the world. This will be the next breaking news alert.

The Great Redistribution of Jim Moran
Jim Moran is one of the most notoriously outspoken Congressmen. In fact, Mr. Verbal Gaffe himself always seems to say something that does not quite make sense, and he is taking a page out of the Barack Obama playbook by saying he is in favor of redistributing the wealth. The Weekly Standard reports that Moran made these statements during an education reform hearing in Arlington. He also completely displayed his temper during this meeting with constituents who questioned him about the foreclosure crisis.
Jim, I think another anger management course is in order for you!

Obama Pledges to Bankrupt VA's Coal Industry
Barack Obama, in a January interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, said of America's coal industry that ....
"So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted."
Of course ... when this interview was published the SF Chronicle conveniently forgot to publish this part. Check out the video below.....

George Soros Tries To Steal Virgil Goode's Congressional Seat
This is Tom Perriello's own Financial Disclosure Statement as a candidate for Congress.
For the past two years, 2006 and 2007, (with the exception of about $7,625 he received for teaching a course at UVA Law and a consulting fee), Perriello's entire earned income has come EXCLUSIVELY from 7 non-profit organizations with seemingly harmless names such as the "Avaaz Foundation," "Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good," "Res Publica," "FaithfulAmerica.org," and the "Global Education Action Fund." That's a total of $108,782 in 2006 and $84,125 in 2007.
Tom Perriello is the Co-Founder of these so-called "non-profit" groups, which were all bankrolled by George Soros through his Open Society Institute. According to his own Campaign Financial Disclosure Statement attached (and in his own hand) Tom Perriello has no other visible means of support than salaries he draws from so-called non-profits he founded, which are funded directly by George Soros. George Soros is not simply a significant campaign contributor, he is Tom Perriello's EMPLOYER. What are these groups?
The euphemistically-named "Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good (CACG) is an organization that, if you check out their website, appears dedicated exclusively to misleading Catholic voters about what their Church actually teaches, and convince them that, contrary to the consistent and plain teaching of the Pope and the Catholic Bishops, it is morally permissible to vote for pro-abortion candidates like, say, Tom Periello. CACG bankrolled by the Open Society Institute (OSI) for $50K in 2005 and $100K in 2006. This is not surprising, George Soros' support and funding for abortion providers, RU-486 and pro-abortion advocacy groups is well-documented. CACG is simply a pro-abortion advocacy front group masquerading as a Catholic group. You can confirm it at the following sites:

http://www.soros.org/grants/research/detail.php?id=1293
OSI is George Soros' primary vehicle for distributing foundation grants. OSI gave Res Publica, another group Perriello co-founded, a $150,000 grant to start Avaaz.org.
Res Publica in turn gave $225,000 to Avaaz.org in 2006. Avaaz.org aims to be an international version of Soros' MoveOn.org, and is supported by the Service Employees
International Union and MoveOn.org, itself. MoveOn.org is heavily funded by Soros, receiving millions of dollars.

Eli Pariser, the Executive Director of MoveOn.org, donated to Perriello ($250 on 1/9/08). Pariser also serves on Res Publica's Advisory Board with John Podesta. You will no doubt recognize Podesta as Bill Clinton's former Chief-of-Staff. John Podesta heads CAP, and donated $500 to Perriello for Congress on 3/24/08. CAP has received millions in funding from George Soros and aims to be the lextreme left wing counterpart to the Heritage Foundation.

Tom Perriello co-founded Faithful America, which raised money to run ads on Al Jazeera, apologizing to the Arab street on behalf of Americans. Faithful America was rolled into Faith in Public Life, which is sponsored by the Center for American Progress (CAP). CAP hosted a 'religious left' conference in 2004 with Res Publica.

Finally, George Soros and his family have personally donated to the congressional campaign of Tom Perriello. They organized a campaign fundraiser for Perriello in New York City, in which George, Jennifer, Jonathan, Andrea, and Robert Allen Soros each gave Tom Perriello $1,000.

Soros works just like ACORN. He creates or funds multiple groups who Hydra-like, work in conjuction for a common goal. This allows him to hide the overall scope and magnitude of his efforts from ready scrutiny. If one group is exposed, they can simply move funds to another.
Just in case you don't know who George Soros is, I've attached a document entitled Meet George Soros that provides other sources and citations. He has the strategy of funding multiple groups that are organized as non-profits with seemingly harmless and disarmingly misleading names that are dedicated to his agenda of decriminalizing illegal narcotics, restoring voting rights to felons, promoting assisted suicide, removing all legal restrictions on abortion and funding abortion providers, eliminating all private ownership of firearms, undermining U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, and eroding U.S. sovereignty in order to achieve the above goals. And he apparently owns Tom Perriello "lock, stock and barrel." The question is, is George Soros so rich that he can buy a Congressional Seat? He has already bought a Congressional candidate, Tom Perriello.
