At least it'll keep him from playing music...

New Army -- going to hell since 1877!

friends w/ Obama from harvard.

So let me get this straight, he gets voted out of office (I am in his district)in a year that democrats took seats in the house, and now Obama puts him right back in to politics? He was a Navy reservist and a flight instructor at NAS Corpus and I didn't hear good things about him from friends that flew with him.

About his getting voted out: he won that district two years ago against a GOP incumbent that a lot of Republicans detested. I wont go into why.

He was a hispanic veteran with a very good education and worked for a law firm that does defense work for corporations and insurance companies. He was seen as a bright, honest, patriotic family man. He barely won.

This time he was up against a former state representative who was clean as a hound's tooth and had a lot of friends from when he was a democrat and who knows insurance law backwards and forwards in a year when windstorm insurance is the only issue in that district, which runs along the shoreline of Corpus, to Mustang and Padre Islands, and up to Aransas Pass and Rockport.

Garcia had no chance of winning in that district against a good Republican and the GOP recruited a great candidate. Garcia still did ok.

The position he is being tabbed for in the Navy will allow him to show if he has the stuff to be upper grade level of bureaucrat/politician. My guess is no.
