Attention Righties, A Mirror Image Is Backwards
See here’s how it works. If you want to accomplish something similar, but looking at things and doing them in exactly the opposite manner as how things have been the last eight years, you use a mirror.
Got it?
Like when the Vice President met privately with leaders of a disgraced industry to form energy policy is a mirror image, exactly the opposite phenomenon as when a a private citizen who did business with a company that is now disgraced along with its industry is commissioned to vet a Vice President, not to form policy for that industry.

I haven’t had time to check all the details out myself, but unless there is something about this story nobody is telling me, I concur with Mark Adams’s opinion: Now just for the record, the head of Obama’s VP selection team didn’t hand out fraudulent loans or anything, right? He wasn’t a lobbyist for Countrywide, was he, or one of it’s executives? […]
