Obama v. Henrietta
Actually, I'm suprised that no one here has mentioned the Obama v.
Henrietta Holsman Fore tiff that erupted yesterday at her Senate confirmation hearing for her new State Department job. See page 5 of the front section of your Friday Chicago Tribune. What? You don't read the Chicago Tribune? Tsk, tsk. oly |

Nobody in their right mind would confuse the Tribune and the Sun Times.
Chicagoans will squeal! oly |

Sorry about that, I just did a quick google search,
didn't even look at the nameplate of what paper it was from. Anyway, this is not a good situation. Depending on how much media play it gets her nomination could be derailed. Republicans are trying to appeal to Hispanic voters and comments like this are not going to be helpful. |

Republicans need not worry so much, and don't need to pander. The
press has a mindset to damn the Republicans regardless, so they simply can't win. Secretary of State Rice would be a poster child if she were a member of the Democratic party. Attorney General Gonzales would be a poster child if he were a member of the Democratic party. Secretary of State Albright bought her post with her money and the press was willing to disregard that, all because she was a Democrat. To the American liberal elite, black is white, wrong is right, anti-Christian is the supreme compliment. But back to numismatics - one does suppose if Henrietta can't move up, she probably can't keep her present position either. oly |

In politics image is everything and having someone in her position with the stigma of insensitive racial remarks isn't going to play well with the White House. |

Somebody in or around the White House has been a friend of Henrietta's
since college or prep school or even earlier. I don't know her connection, but I'll bet they won't get too mad. oly |

With something like this I think friendship will only take you so far
and then they would have to say something like "sorry but it is best that you leave your position...." Bush isn't going to want this to be a subject of the Sunday morning political talk shows. I think this will play itself out one way or another over the next few weeks. |

Yeah, those poor, pitiful, downtrodden Repugnicans, cruelly oppressed by the all-powerful liberal media. Secretary of State Rice would be a poster child if she were a member of the Democratic party. Attorney General Gonzales would be a poster child if he were a member of the Democratic party. ....instead of the (ObNumismaticContent coming here) tokens that they are. |
