White House Counsel Quits
Embattled White House Counsel Gregory Craig announced Friday that he is returning to private practice. Craig had struggled to lead the effort to close the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay, which Barack Obama had promised to do within a year of being taking office. Bob Bauer, the president’s personal attorney and longtime adviser, will replace Craig, who also oversaw the president's overhaul of government policies on terrorism interrogations. In a statement from Japan, Obama called Craig a trusted adviser who took on a difficult job. Dissatisfaction over Craig’s management of Guantánamo policy had been brewing for months, and the change was expected.

The first casualty of the administration. Sounds like too much dithering going on.........
vell, vell.....and so soon...
Agreed Carole, sad to say!
Greg Craig one more under the bus. Move over-Grandma and Gramdpa Stanley, Rev. Wright, acorn, Gen McChrystal,, Olympia Snowe, Insurance co., Chamber Of Commerce, Van Jones, obama's mother Anne, senior citizens, Poland and Czech Republic, and the United States Of America for all the wrong we have done over the years. {Obama is apoligizing for us} Bob Baur is Anita {Mao} Dunn's husband.
Anita duns husband must be a fool to be sleeping that pig Anita Dunn. now she makes Janet Reno look like a supermodel. with a much better personality.
Another unfullfilled promise.
This is the only promise that has a date on it and that date hasn't arrived so it's a little premature to say it's unfulfilled.
A year ago I predicted this would be the worst adminstration in history.
Every day, more and more people come to share that view.
We missed the fundamental lesson of the civil rights era: It's always a bad idea to vote or otherwise judge someone on the basis of their skin color.
Here here.. its just that simple.
People forgot what MLK said about the content of their character, and not the color of their skin part.....what a lesson we are getting in political correctness,and to the guilt of the civil rights movement.
Are you really suggesting that Obama is an affirmative action president?
I voted for Obama not because he is Black, but because I thought
his campaign made sense. I thought and still think that McCain was
not the way to go.
Have you really learned anything from the Civil Rights era?
Millions of people voted for Obama because of his race. Deny it if you will but only addled Politically Correct types will agree with you.
Of course he is an Affirmative Action president. Affirmative Action is how he got to Harvard Law. Obama has been a racial opportunist all of his life....It's silly to deny it.
90-95% of black votes went to Obama in the primaries. Do you think they were voicing approval of the fine points of his health care proposals?
Then you have the Chris Matthews vote, he of the leg tingle, and all the rest of the shallow guilty whites seeking to buy virtue at a discount.
No white male with 150 days in the senate, even if he could parrot grandiose MLK-style inflections, would have ever even been nominated, and you know it.
Do you believe that all black people who achieve high offices
or positions do so because of affirmative action?
"millions" really. Please cite your source on that one.
I'm not saying that no one considered his race as the primary reason
for voting or not voting for him. But that alone will not get you into the White House
I am more than offended by your comments. You mimic many of the voices
that have tried dismiss the accomplishments of African Americans since the beginning of this country.
"I am more than offended by your comments."
I could not care less about your offense. What I said is the truth; if you choose to be offended by it, that's your choice.
Obama himself admitted he was an Affirmative Action beneficiary. He benefitted from his skin color early on, and went on to wallow in racial issues for most of his career. He chose Rev Wright's church for credibility among Chicago blacks. He worked with ACORN to register black voters. He taught civil rights law at the U of C. He specifically said he wanted to "make black people's lives better." Why not everbody's life?
The One is steeped in racial grievance and racial opportunism. I'm offended too.
I could care less that you care less!
I love how you completely dodged my question.
Chicago has a huge African American population so if
you want to win in Chicago you better gain their support.
Obama never said he wanted to exclusively make blacks' lives better.
He has always been very inclusive of all people when talking
about the success of this country.
I think you just hate to see a BLACK man in the WHITE House why not just say it.
"Chicago has a huge African American population so if
you want to win in Chicago you better gain their support"
So you need to go a racially divisive church to do it? Would you need to join the Klan to get the white support?
Obama is a fraud from the ground up. You can't even count the lies and broken promises. The media covered for his lies, so now we have a radically underqualified stooge in office.
By the way, I'm speaking specifically of Obama... the fact that you want to apply to other blacks as a group speaks to your own racial issues.
WOW
you still avoided that question. Its a yes/no type of question.
That church is not particularly "racially divisive" and is not
even remotely comparable to the KKK.
By the way, I don't discriminate on the basis of race.
I have plenty of black friends and from all different backgrounds.
I think the fact that you are dodging says something though.
'That church is not particularly "racially divisive"'
Sorry I didn't realize that you are cognitively impaired.
Have a good day!
Name calling still doesn't answer that question!
Guess Obama has to blame someone, so Craig gets to pay for Obama's failure.
This administration acts like their still in Chicago.
The administration's first sign of hope & CHANGE!
What, somebody leaving a Presidential Administration because of a policy clash? Unheard of! Shocking! Never before in history!
Exactly, advisers come and go in most Administrations.
1 Thank you. Good GRIEF, people. I know history is hard, but could you try to remember things that happened more than a year ago?

All of you Obama loathers ought to visit politifact.com to get your stories straight. Facts not emotions do actually matter.
Nobody informed Craig that the White House doesn't run the USA, the megalomainiacas run it. That's why Obama dances to the same dance that Bush danced. It would have taken a guy like Ralf Nader to get the job done but nobody will vote for Ralf.
Nader?!
really?
I'm curious. Why Nader?
Might as well spell his name right if you like him so much:"Ralph"
keep gitmo open!
Thank you.
