Obama reunion? Biden fills Cabinet with former WH leaders

WASHINGTON - President-elect Joe Biden is getting the old gang back together.

Increasingly deep into the process of selecting Cabinet members and other senior staff, the incoming Biden administration has a distinctly Obama feel.

There’s Denis McDonough, former President Barack Obama’s chief of staff who Biden announced on Thursday would be nominated as the secretary of veterans affairs. Susan Rice, Obama’s former national security adviser, was named the director of Biden’s White House Domestic Policy Council.

That’s on top of Biden already tapping Obama’s agriculture secretary, Tom Vilsack, to head the department once again, former Secretary of State John Kerry to serve as special envoy on climate and Kerry’s Obama-era deputy Antony Blinken to lead the State Department. Jeff Zients, who did stints as acting Office of Management and Budget director and a top economic adviser in the Obama White House, will return as Biden’s coronavirus response coordinator.

With the exception of President Donald Trump, a political outsider when he was elected in 2016, recent new presidents have relied heavily on pools of talent that had cut their teeth in their parties’ previous administrations to fill out their own government. But Biden, who is assuming the presidency in the midst of the worst public health crisis in a century and a flagging economy, is putting a greater premium on past experience and, as a result, has gone frequently back to the Obama well as he fills out his government.

It started when Bill Clinton was president. Just about the same people get recycled every time.

Biden is making none of these decisions.

He’s just following orders from his handlers until he can resign for any number of reasons.

And then we have a full-blooded communist, the most leftist Senator in the nation, rejected by her own party, and not elected as POTUS by her own party, as President.

Yeah, our nation is that deceived and dumb.

Or is it? Trump was elected in a landslide as we all know, and that better be exposed and proven - or we are toast as a nation.

But there I go repeating what thousands of others have already said.

Put that geezer in and there will be civil disobedience like they’ve not seen. It will make antifa and blm look like a kid’s game of dodge ball. Also, Best Buy and the liquor store won’t be the targets. Activist pols would do well to realize the severity. This is not a game.
