OBAMA APPOINTMENTS SO FAR ARE DISAPPOINTINGLY FAMILIAR

For yea these last two years, the picture we have had of our president-elect has been, without exception, that of a gentleman, proud yet humble, with an inner centeredness and an outer composure that have fascinated and often mystified the nation. Where, we kept asking ourselves, did such a man come from? What elements of fate and nature merged in him to create this preternaturally poised leader? Moreover, he surrounded himself with people who seemed much like him. Never was there an argument in his campaign that saw the light of celebrity's voracious day; never did one of his assistants or team members step out of line to challenge his inner sanctity. The process -- and he himself -- came to be known as "No-Drama Obama." And the country, wearied of the old politically correct Democrats of the last 30 years and equally fed up with George W.'s war-mad neocon Republicans, obviously relished this first act.

Interesting examination of the new administration.

The only one without a job is Bubba. Maybe he can be the intern interviewer

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Change to make the change...

[ari-freedom]

He’s not bush. He’s kinda black. He wants a trillion dollar deficit. stop complaining, libs.

Humble? I would take exception to that.

What did you expect? The guy has no clue on how to govern so he’s hiring guys that have been there, done that. He’s just voting “present” again in a position well above his pay grade.

At least he's not trying to get his unclearable friends into Cabinet positions.

bringing into his administration some of those least-talented for the special jobs at hand.

Well, just like him in fact !

What planet did Georgie Anne Geyer come from? Good grief.

[bruinbirdman]

Georgie Anne is jealous.

From the sewers and gutters of South Side Chicago Socialist politics, that's where from.

I’ll bet there were pieces such as this one written in Germany after Adolf Hitler’s election. That anyone should put such faith in someone they do not know is an example of extreme gullibility.

[appleharvey]

Obama is the Libs stable boy. No more, no less.

[ottbmare]

“Proud but humble”? What the h does that mean, Georgie Ann? This woman is a moron (but we knew that already).

Dude, you forgot the barf alert.

Hitler was never elected, but the rest of your point is good.

It looks like Obama is appointing, as Rev. Wright would say, “RICH, WHITE, PEEEEEPLE!!!!!
