Alberto Gonzales has been at the heart of the Bush Administrations more egregious acts.  From helping the president to turn America into torturers to helping oust lawyers who weren’t the right political persuasion to possibly lying in sworn testimony.  Now, poor baby finds himself unable to secure employment. I really can’t bring myself to care all that much for this man.  Alberto Gonzales swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States and then looked the other way when it served the administration’s purposes.  What law firm would want this man to be a part of their team?  What could be bring other than baggage and bad press? I’m sure some rich Conservative will make sure Gonzales doesn’t go without, but I do find it interesting that even Conservative think tanks like the American Enterprise Institute or the Heritage Foundation have not offered him a position.  Maybe they see him as a liability, as well.

One of the real problems any politician faces is when to admit you’re wrong and how to do it so as not to sound defeated or fake.  Unfortunately, I think Senator Barak Obama backed down when he had no real reason to do so.  The uproar coming out of Senator Obama’s “bitter” remarks is fake; fake and created by pathetic candidates like Hillary Clinton and John McCain.  There was nothing wrong with the comments made by Barak Obama when he first spoke about “bitter” Pennsylvanians and there was nothing wrong with his rebuttal to McCain and Clinton’s fake outrage.  Senator Clinton even has the audacity to call Senator Obama “elitist and out of touch”!  Isn’t that a case of the pot calling the kettle black.  If anyone in this race is elitist and out touch it’s Clinton and McCain.  I’m sure Senator Obama backed down because of pressure inside his campaign, but I think it was the wrong thing to do.
