The California Parole Board made the RIGHT decision.

GOP Attorney and twice defeated California 24th Congressional District candidate Michael Tenenbaum is embroiled in a FLAP regarding his recent election to the California State Bar’s Board of Governors.

Business attorney Michael Tenenbaum beat out his two opponents for a seat on the state bar’s Board of Governors. But he may not have been eligible for the seat.

A committee is being put together to investigate allegations that Tenenbaum’s principal office isn’t located in the District 6, a requirement to be eligible for the seat under the State Bar Act, the Metropolitan News-Enterprise reported.

The district includes Riverside, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. Tenenbaum beat Redlands attorney Bryan Hartnell by a little over 100 votes, MetNews reported.

Flap has learned from an excellent, albeit anonymous source that Michael Tenenbaum’s office address as he is registered at the California State Bar is indeed a post office box.

Here is a screen shot of his California Bar registration:

And,note this is the same address of The Mail Stop which has the same address except for the office, Flap means post office box number.

Michael Tenenbaum at his Congressional website emphasizes his strong roots in Ventura County.

And, in order to run for Congress Tenenbaum is NOT required to live or work in the Congressional District for which he ran.

But, the California State Bar rules are different.

Where exactly does Michael Tenenbaum practice law? Where does he live?

Flap and the California Bar want to know.

Stay tuned……..

The MSM is FINALLY recognizing that Barack Obama’s Iraq War policy, including his Flip Flop “Refine” moment is putting Obama on the defensive.

The anti-war Left of which Obama is a member last Fall said “The Surge” was a failure, the Iraq War war was lost and that the United States should pull out.

Over the weekend, as first reported by the New York Daily News, the Obama campaign website changed language from declaring “the surge is not working” to that which instead states: “despite the improved security situation, the Iraqi government has not stepped forward to lead the Iraqi people and to reach the genuine political accommodation that was the stated purpose of the surge.”

An older Obama campaign “fact sheet” from Fall 2007 states more unequivocally that “THE SURGE IS NOT WORKING” since “the Iraqi government has not stepped up.” Obama also maintained that “reduced violence in Anbar Province is the result of cooperation between American forces and Sunni tribes, which started more than 18 months ago, long before the surge. The province is overwhelmingly Sunni, and the tribal leaders there made a political decision to turn against al Qaeda. This does not demonstrate the success of the surge; it demonstrates that the solutions in Iraq are political, not military.”

Obama’s only mention of Anbar today was to say that the future that “both America and Iraq will be more secure when the terrorist in Anbar is taken out by the Iraqi Army, and the criminal in Baghdad fears Iraqi Police, not just coalition forces.”

What happened in the meantime is that “The Surge” was effective and the United States essentially won the Iraq War last December.

Now, Obama will travel back to to Iraq, where he has not been in 919 days, confer with General Petraeus and other military commanders and say what?

Bring home the troops?

Senator, the United States won the war – without your support. Troops will be coming home and some will be redeployed to Afghanistan.

What political judgment Obama has.

You know, Obama REALLY is a rookie.

Consistent with Barack Obama’s FLIP-FLOP on his Iraq War policy a week ago or so, BarackObama.com has been scrubbed of any references to Obama’s opposition to the “Surge.”

Barack Obama’s campaign scrubbed his presidential Web site over the weekend to remove criticism of the U.S. troop “surge” in Iraq, the Daily News has learned.

The presumed Democratic nominee replaced his Iraq issue Web page, which had described the surge as a “problem” that had barely reduced violence.

“The surge is not working,” Obama’s old plan stated, citing a lack of Iraqi political cooperation but crediting Sunni sheiks – not U.S. military muscle – for quelling violence in Anbar Province.

Well, Obama was wrong on the “SURGE” and now wants to bury the fact that he was WRONG. “Change we can believe in,” right?

Team McCain is now ridiculing Obama for their blatant flip on the war.

GOP rival John McCain zinged Obama as a flip-flopper. “The major point here is that Sen. Obama refuses to acknowledge that he was wrong,” said McCain, adding that Obama “refuses to acknowledge that it [the surge] is succeeding.”

Ed Morrissey asks what changes will we see from Obama when he confers with General Petraeus and the other generals in Iraq?

Plus Ca Change…….
