President Bush made another round of last-minute appointments Tuesday, giving 45 aides, supporters and others a parting gift as he leaves office: presidential appointments to boards and councils, with terms lasting three to six years after he leaves office.

Ass Kissers of the GOP unite, never fear your great leader will make certain you have employment when he leaves office, qualified or not, that's how he ran the government for eight years remember!
...these "department heads" can all be relocated to the Barrow Alaska office of their respective adgencies. Appoint Obama "DC heads" to run the government.
Obama needs to do away with everyone of these commissions, and reconstitute something with a similar name for those that are legitimate functions. Eliot, the war crimminal, Abrams should not receive one additional cent of taxpayer money.
Most of these seem to be pretty innocuous. My favorite is Robert A. Labonte of North Carolina to the President's Physical Fitness Council. He is better known as Bobby Labonte of NASCAR fame. Because NASCAR drivers are such paragons of physical fitness! HaHaHa!
Actually, I think Bobby Labonte is a good guy. I like NASCAR and he's one of my favorites. It's still funny though!

Looks like those abstinence programs are working swimmingly in the southern states.
This is POLITICAL APPOINTMENT with term limits, so its not BURROWING. Only when those appointments are made PERMANENT then its called ''burrowing in''.
a gopher is a gopher is a gopher . . .
It only matters if O'bama cannot fire 'em.
Absurd. So now NeoCons are going to control Fulbright Scholarships. Great, there goes science education.
I wonder what it's like to be the most hated man in the world.
Listen, he's not the most hated man in my world...Osama Bin Laden is...Bernard Madoff...quit being a cool-aide drinker and start being an American.
Please he is not the most hated man in the world..and really it only matters what Americans think..and Osama Bin Laden is the most hated man here..if your an American that is.
Then how come in a world poll Bou$h was considered more dangerous?
so over this klown!
Can't they just be fired?
A pathetic old man that has not upheld his oath.
He is so like a leading player in a Greek tragedy. I wish that the rest of America was not in it, too!
He kept us safe for 8 years..unlike Clinton..if Obama allows a hit on us because he's soft ..he'll be outta here in 4 years.
LOL, Whose watch did 9 / 11 happen on? Was that Clinton who was in office at that time? Another clueless ne0-c0n who wants to defend the indefensible. Run along clueless m0r0n.
Umm... 9-11 happened on his watch, weeks after receiving a warning than Bin Laden was going to hit the US. He failed, completely and miserably.
You mean since 09/12/01? And I'm sure if Obama gets a presidential briefing warning of an attack, he'll pay attention. What was it l'il George said to the man who delivered it to hen-faced Harriet Myers, "OK, you covered your ass." So presidential.
This Busholepsia is a toxic state of mental seizure; it's highly addictive to it's users and makes them feel happy - even as they stamp and rant and hate and dissemble and distort and cast blame on others. It is also characterized by an obliviousness to facts and the love of misrepresenation.
Why do repub licans take pride in being ignorant?
let me toss my objectivity speech out the window for a second and tell you from the depths of my heart on 1/20 I suggest you take the same route as your tin-hat wearing leader and get the he// outta dodge.............
sorry this posting was actually meant to reply to the posting of QuestionEveryone.
Keep breaking everything you can, Mr. President. You have ruined everything you have touched your entire life.
Another task for Obama: fix this long term apppointment nightmare. No president should be able to appoint anyone to terms this long without approval from anyone.
How Pathetic he came in on a whimper and goes out the same way.
