I didn''t want to highjack another thread, I think the topic deserves its own thread.
I have heard the rummbling''s from the Reps on Obama''s choices so far. "Clintonite''s", "retreads", etc. I assume they wanted all new fresh faces in there. That would be a change, right? Well, that depends on what change means to people. I never thought for a minute that''s what he meant, I thought he meant, "I''m going to change the way things have been done around here, not the people who are going to help me do that".
I can totally understand why he''s picking who he is. He wants the best at what they do/most experienced people. And he wants Democrats for the most part. (no surprise there) So, who would that be?
Oh yeah, the guys from the last Democratic reign. They have the knowledge of how things work, they have the experience. Why would he pick some fresh faced person? Why would anyone expect him to? This isn''t a time to gamble on picks guys, he needs people who know what they''re doing.
In looking at how he has picked people in the past, and performed so far, I have total confidence in him. That may change, but until he actually starts screwing up, I''m not going to question him.
Just mho!
