In the real world, the naming of Greg Craig as White House counsel would say a lot about the President-Elect–but we are not living in the real world when it comes to Obama. His past statements, associations, and votes or non-votes mean nothing. His slate was wiped clean and anything and everything he did in the past is, as we are told, inconsequential.
The Republican National Comittee has a press release detailing Craig’s prior clientele. We all know about his work for the Castro regime in representing Juan Miguel Gonzalez, but just for fun, let’s take a look at Counselor Craig’s inconsequential past clientele.
• John Hinckley Jr.: Tried to assassinate President Reagan
• Pedro Miguel Gonzalez: President of Panama’s Legislature who was indicted for the 1992 Murder of a U.S. Soldier.
• Carlos Sanchez-Berzain: Bolivian Defense Minister accused of human rights abuses for heavy-handed tactics to put down labor riots, which led to 67 deaths.
• Fradique De Menezes: president of Sao Tom and interestingly enough, a cocoa plantation owner accused of corruption.
• The Mevs family of Haiti: One of only a handful of families that rose to great wealth during the dictatorship of Francois “Papa Doc” Duvalier with a monopoly on the country’s sugar industry
Don’t get me wrong, everyone has the right to legal representation regardless of how vile or heinous they are. But it seems that Craig has an affinity for these types. I guess you have to take opportunity however it comes, and for Craig, a murderer’s money is just as green as everyone else’s.
Once again in regard to Obama….Dime con quien andas y te dire quien eres.

Alberto I pointed this out to you yesterday…I just want to see Pepe “The Idiot” Hernandez’ reaction or for that matter Mas “my dad is rolling in his grave” Santos!!!
Any bets on how long it will be before Obama and Restrepo go down to Havana in order to change El Comandante’s diapers?????
BTW, are you related to the Key Biscayne De La Cruz family???
Well, the only thing keeping him from being named Attorney General is that he didn’t get to defend someone who attempted to assassinate Bush. That would have cinched it for him, obviously.

Unfortunately, I think any “change” Obama enacts in this country will be the bad type, like normalizing relations with the murderous Cuban regime. Of course he’ll do it in the name of helping the Cuban people, but we all know that the suffering on the island is the last thing on his mind. He’ll do it for the money, and since it will be relatively easy and without much work, he’ll do it to show what a statesman he is.
In the end, the regime will get richer and welcome the helping hand of the US to solidify the future of their stranglehold on power.
By the way, I am not related to the Key Biscayne de la Cruz family.
Alberto:
Well done

Unfortunately, all too often, the legal system is simply a game, the object being to win the case regardless of whether or not justice is done. The O. J. Simpson case immediately comes to mind, but there are countless low-profile versions of that.
