Do you think Governor Palin, is going to be worst then bush, when it comes to cronyism and corruption?
Q. Lol, she already facing potential potential abuse of powers and impeachment speculation for the firing of the safety commissioner, Is she worst then Bush?
Asked by Fan Of Obama - Mon Sep 1 19:34:03 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. check your grammar it should be worse and no. She had good reasons to fire the safety commissioner that were not related to her sister and ex-brother-in-law.. She actually offered him another job but he turned it down. You should really do some research before you spout off about things you do not know about.

A. I think it is mainly for buying votes and build up more powers for the Republican Party at large. If you have read the article published in Hong Kong South China Morning Post last year, Hong Kong cronyism is most severe in this world, as all the important top officials are appointed through sort of most explicit style of cronyism. What's more invoked the public cynical and anger to Donald Tsang Yum-kuen's empire of a total fascism practice as if he and his caucus expressed "so what"?

Q. When Bush was in office and he put one of his unqualified buddies in the cabinet, for weeks on end you would hear the shrill cry of cronyism from the left. Now Obama has not only filled his cabinet with his cronies but he has created new positions in these czars. Is cronyism a good think now that Obama is in office?

A. Cronyism is now a tradition in American government. The politicians manage to finagle cushy jobs for their cronies, and also tack on pork and earmarks, rigging legislation so that their cronies get the bulk of the loot. Cronyism isn't a bad thing---for the cronies. It is for the taxpayers who have to pay for it.
