FF: it's a pity Bush didn't appoint him from the get-go back in 2001.

And I hope Obama keeps him on for the duration of his presidency (assuming he wins a second term).

I can't get over Iran-Contras thing, so he'll remain HP for me, no matter how better he was than Rummy.

If he got nominated by Bush and Obama, that isn't a good sign.

He helped this country become the only country ever found guilty of terrorism by the World Court, and yet he's not Obama's worst cabinet member. Ugh.

Obama gave Gate the Presidential Medal of Freedom.  Today is his last day.  Sad
