Recently I posted on the change in White House council. I didn't spend enough time on it. It seems that the new council, Bob Bauer, can be expected to continue the Bush tradition of politicizing everything and treating legal issues as roadblocks to be circumvented.
The White House dismissed all concerns about Bauer, pointing out that he is well-regarded by Republicans in the tight-knit election law community and that he has worked on issues outside of election law.“He has represented large institutional clients on major issues like employment and contract, IP [intellectual property], tax and privacy issues,” said an administration official who did not want to be identified talking about Bauer’s qualifications for the post, which the White House said would he would assume by the end of the year
WTF? Obama wants a White House lawyer who is well-regarded by Republicans? No, no. That doesn’t surprise me. He seems to be very keen on making Republicans happy for some reason. Nor does this surprise me: Bob Bauer argued that Scooter Libby should be pardoned – for political purposes, never mind he broke the law.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
