The full title is "Another Clinton backstabber goes down in flames: Obama fires Greg Craig for Guantanamo fiasco." The author of this article, D.K. Jamaal, is a PUMA. He sure writes like one!
Once it became clear that the President could not possibly honor his Guantanamo pledge, the humiliated White House blamed Greg Craig – a respected D.C. insider – smeared and undermined him with constant leaks before forcing his resignation this past week.
Those fools amongst the pundits and politics who still believed Obama was a stand up guy could not understand how Obama could treat Craig so shabbily. After all, Craig had turned his back on longtime friends and colleagues – Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton – to support Obama long before almost anyone else. Craig had known Billary since the early seventies, had served in the Clinton White House, and had defended Bill during impeachment. Heck, Craig even smeared Hillary on foreign policy during the campaign with a widely distributed memo.
Craig was loyal to Obama. Obama repaid him with one of the most heinous backstabs of his nascent tenure.
Last line of the article: "Craig got what he earned." So true.

It's fun to watch them go down one by one, Richardson, Caroline kennedy, craig, Edwards etc. While the people who stuck with Hillary have nice jobs, Cheryl, Huma guess who won on that. The people who showe such a lack of loyalty should have known Barack was only using them and would not trust them and would install his peeps eventually.
Nice article, Jen. You think they're starting to figure out that Obama is a slimey Chicago thug?
