The Obama Administration should do itself a favor and steer clear of Granholm. Eventually, a lot of the dirt that's been done by the Kilpatrick's, Blackwell, Cox and the rest of the McNamara crew will land at her doorstep.

So what you're saying is Granholm is letting a bunch of people out of prison, and slipping out MI's side door? :eek:
I disagree, and your prediction is highly unlikely.Quote:

Please, you are talking about Washington DC. There are plenty of jobs there for incompetent, unpopular non-achievers.
We'll talk about this after Bernard Kilpatrick is charged and his phone records are made public. The true meaning of "House of Cards" is going to play out in Michigan. I'm not saying she's going to be charged with anything. But, she's definitely going to have a stink about her that would not make her worth the grief that the Obama Administration would have to take over her appointment. Especially considering that all of this will probably play out during the next Presidential Election.Quote:

Hey, she WAS born there,
Blanchard wasn't.
I believe the Obama administration is well aware of Granholm's liabilities and you won't see her get either a cabinet position or a supreme court judgeship. I think an ambassadorship to some non-critical country will be the best she can hope for.
She will either end up at Blue Cross where many former elected officials land or at the DMC with Mike Duggan. That's my prediction.

I do like the concept that she is too tainted for Obama to touch. Gives a little justice to the situation, but let's see if that really comes to fruit.
I think she would fit right in with the Obama Administration.
...along with "the Kilpatrick's, Blackwell, Cox and the rest of the McNamara crew"; they are all cut from the same cloth.
Michigan was just rejected in the "Race to the Top" for some of the educational stimilus $$. Considering Michigan's state of affairs, I guess we don't get preferential treatment and actually have to make an honest plan to qualify for fed funds, rather than throwing something together at the last minute.
She was just a pretty face who had sat in the Governor's chair. She probably wished that Hilary Clinton had won the election for president so Graholm could had been pulled out of this mess. I don't think Obama had went for it.
Jennifer Granholm has not been, in my opinion, a particularly good governor. But she is a very experienced, well-qualified, and smart lawyer, and well-connected to boot. How would she not be able to earn a lot of money after leaving office? She would have been able to earn a lot of money if she had never entered public life, or if she had left the Attorney General's office to cash in before becoming Governor.
She could probably earn a nice living just sitting on corporate boards, if that's what she wanted to do. She doesn't have any need for a job from the Administration from a financial standpoint.
