Another example would be palin as a viable runing mate for Mccain. Are you trying to say that palin was the best republican in this country to run as his vp?
Jarrett has been at Obama's side since he first got into politics.
Oh she was "chosen" alright but not by any American voters.

Did we have a say in who should run as V.P?

Its even worse than that.. The IRS Director falls under Obama, but its not the IRS Director that was visiting the White House..

yet everytime Obama does something that we don't like you point to Bush and say.. well Bush did it. Think about it. Obama is Bush and Bush is Obama. Same difference. You are slow and have not figured it out yet.

Who should run? No. Who becomes VP? Ask McCain. One way to have a say in the VP is to not vote in the head of the ticket. The problem with Jarrett is that at least 95% of the voting public have no clue who she is, let alone her impact.

Like me, you misunderstood. It wasn't the direct responsibility of the president, it was just the direct responsibility of Bush, and it still is, even 5 years later. He was one amazingly powerful guy, that George Bush. Obama, on the other hand, is directly responsible for nothing.

it happened on his watch with his people running the show. the buck stops with him as they have known since april a year ago and done nothing until it broke. With the media spying its likely his honeymoon is dead with the third estate.Iits just getting started as to the investigation . Then of course there is the federal lawsuit filed which will include violation of civil rights I am sure.

They knew about it last year before the election and kept it quiet. hmm, I wonder why they kept it quiet?

I am no defender of Obama and consider him as much a criminal as the rest of them.

But I seriously hope that some cannot be that naive to think, when Obama is gone, everything will be peaches and cream, when the same criminals behind the scenes calling the shots to the puppet in charge are still there.

Nothing will change as long as politicians are up for sale and are not held accountable to the American Public but to the ones that put them in there $$$$

Still trying to excuse the Administration by pointing fingers elsewhere I see.
Your point is moot, what anyone else did regardless of it was today or last century does not excuse another.
