Talk about volunteering for oblivion. Does he think he'll be successful in freeing a billion people from their elitist villainy and central planning? He can go and speak Mandarin all he wants, at least the fine state of Utah is not being left in the lurch, they seem to have an improved situation under Herbert. Interesting how he will resign without being confirmed, this has to be the result of a strategic manuever by the over confident dems. By the way Utah is one of my top five "escape to" states if Maine turns into a total socialist cesspool like California or New York.
I am reading Red Decade by Eugene Lyons a former communist writing about the large Soviet influence on America in the 1930's, reading this after FDR's Folly you can see that Obama is trying to resuscitate that era and complete the New Deal's cradle to grave mission. Unfortunately, all of his shock and awe has been done before and in relatively greater magnitude. As FDR gave many of the public works project monies to Western states to change their votes to him after '32, so too Obama is not content with his win and wants to augment it for a generation by picking off Republicans hither and yon while plinking the harpsicord and singing the praises of Lincoln, the founders, and bloody footprints in the snow at Valley Forge.
Another good read is The Mitrokhin File which is a compendium of copious notes by the Curator of the KGB archives covering 1917 to the late '80's who defected to Britain in 1992 with many crates of files. Among the myriad of information it shows how close they came to beating us in the 1970's and that detente was an economic victory for them: we fed their proletariat and they upgraded their missiles with MIRV's. Most importantly it tells how FDR's administration was riddled with real KGB spies.
Pelosi? What's to say? Everyone except those who solely rely on MSM for news were aware that Congress not just Madame Speaker was briefed in 2002 on these interrogation methods for the murderers. The real question is why does Obama want her gone? She hasn't gotten the results from the House he wanted in the first 100 and she is incompetent on the campaign trail not to mention her own carbon footprint in the air. Also the radicals are at the gate on this one and want results about the percieved torture since they have paid for the dem party out of their trustfunds which took a giant hit in this orchestrated economic downturn, recession, depression, apocalyptic black hole, etc.
