Obama's Kevins

Okay, it's old news now, but it's worth mentioning. Here's a story telling about Kevin Concannon's confirmation hearing in July in D.C. for the position of Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services.

Editor and publisher of Common Sense Independent, Terrilyn Simpson, did a 28-page report in 2005 on the murder of Logan Marr. She titled it Logan’s Truth. Simpson told how Maine officials and the Legislature failed Logan’s family afterward. Logan tried to tell about the abuse. Concannon was Maine DHS Commissioner at the time. In hearings, he defended DHS officials, saying "Logan was known to lie," (page 2).

Then there's the other Kevin - Kevin Jennings, supposed "safe schools" czar. The story brings some good news, at least. On October 15, 53 Republicans called for Obama to fire Jennings, who was "pushing a pro-homosexual agenda in America's schools," and who has quite a shady past.

There are 300 million people in this country. Couldn't the president find better candidates than these two?
