Prioridades

Se a celeridade na nomeação para os cargos de maior responsabilidade e poder na Administração americana for indício de alguma prioridade, então Obama está mais empenhado em constituir uma equipa para a Justiça que para o Tesouro. Para além de se constatar que os cargos mais importantes já estão preenchidos, pode-se também avaliar a direcção política que o Presidente pretende imprimir conhecendo os nomeados, como um anónimo americano - anónimo por medo de represálias - fez num texto publicado no Pajamas Media, cuja conclusão aqui deixo: «(...) In sum, President Obama has nominated individuals who are extremists on issues such as abortion, pornography, and euthanasia. He has nominated individuals who have demonstrated a palpable hatred for our military, whose members are fighting and dying to protect our freedom. He has nominated political partisans who helped provide pardons in exchange for political contributions and to secure votes, or who have chosen to represent terrorists trying to kill Americans. He has nominated individuals who want to disarm our military and intelligence services, and bring back the infamous days of the 1990s, when the Clinton Justice Department did everything it could to limit the effectiveness of our efforts against al-Qaeda.

There is no question that radical left-wing politics is going to take center stage in the policies of the Department of Justice over the next four years, to the detriment of all Americans and the well-being of our nation. As Leonard Leo of the Federalist Society has said, “We are on the brink of having the most Culture of Death, anti-family Justice Department ever.”»
