And if it's a high enough level of clearance, they'll also check out all your siblings, children, and inlaws, as well as check you personally back to 1940-something. Which they clearly didn't do here.

We won the cold war?
The other guys went bankrupt and collapsed. That's not what I consider winning, especially since we didn't do much better.

Yeah, right.
Their credibility isn't much better than Shrub's.

One thing I'd suggest is demoting the campaign people he hired from Clinton. (Personally, I'd prefer to demote them all the way out of the campaign.) Another is to quit listening to the inside-the-Beltway consultants, who get paid well, win or lose. (Losing them would improve the campaign a lot, also.)

Clinton could help a lot if she stays in the senate and actually starts leading toward the left instead of getting closer to the GOP. (I want daylight between the parties, not slow dancing.)

Sounds like the usual congressional pork coming home: make sure your own people are taken care of first, and never mind whether they can actually do the job.

(Remember when they decided to put the national earthquake research center in Buffalo, NY, based on a proposal copied (literally) from UC Berkeley?)

And if we'd drilled in all those places there's be that much less oil available now. (That's assuming there's actually enough oil to have made it worth drilling.)

We could have saved a lot more by keeping the speed limit at 55 and raising mileage requirements, but that would have made a lot of Big GOP Donors unhappy.
