Robert Gates is a wus. He has played the perfect lapdog for more than thirty years in Washington. He never has a bad word to say about anyone, and he never comes up with a new idea. Come to think of it, the same can be said of Lugar. I guess Obama wants a mediocre cabinet.
He won’t keep Gates. What kind of ‘change’ would it be to keep Bush secretaries in place!? Not going to fly for his supporters.
Rino’s have a new home in the Obama administration.
Oh yeah, these tired old mugs that we’ve seen year after year are certainly the faces of change.
I don’t know who his final picks will be, but I can assure you that if he picks a Senator or a Representative to serve in his cabinet, it will be from a state whose governor is Democrat. That way, the balance of power is not reduced by replacing a Democratic Senator/Representative with a Democrat. Watch and see. The Senate will more than likely be 56/44 DEM/REP. It wouldn’t suprise me to see him select a Republican from a state that has a Democratic Governor. If he selected 4 Republicans (and they accept)that way, the Senate will have a filibuster proof majority without an election.
Press Secretary Keith Olberman, Cris Matthews, Rachael Madcow. They’re all gay, right?
