Yikes.

I think Mr. Warner should check his math.

What are you talking about? Mr. Warner does not have any math in his post – he is merely citing figures from a graph. If you are trying to imply the graph is wrong, well it came from a J. P. Morgan research report so really not Warner’s fault if it is not accurate. And if you are implying the graph is wrong, what are you basing that statement on? Normal rational people would refute something with logic, arguments, and facts. Instead, you are just kinda folding your arms, pouting, and saying, “nuh-uh.” I mean, while your refutation would probably carry muster on, say, the DU or DailyKOS, it seems to not really have much impact here.

This is more of the change President Obama has brought. We hoped he meant what he campaigned on: rejecting lobbyists, more transparency, greater bipartisanship, etc. Instead we got all the things we didn’t like from President Bush, but more. Thus, the change.

I guess that’s the best the left has to offer right now. Give him time, he’ll run to a professor or a leftist blog and squeal a while in terror then run back with a better talking point to repeat without thinking.

Yes, as third graders are taught, the President appoints all of his Cabinet.

Unless they’re 3rd graders… from another country.

Thanks for the info, that means that only 30 cabinet members have worked in the private sector? What utter bullshit, just looking at the State Dept you have 8 including Hillary that have worked in the private sector. Nice try but once again no research before reporting something as “fact”, not much better than the MSM.

Sigh… people working for the cabinet are not in the cabinet they are workers in the executive department. Only the secretaries comprise the “cabinet” of the President of the United States. I get so tired of clueless leftists.

In any case, Obama’s cabinet is made up almost exclusively of government employees and policy wonks, academics and people without practical experience or knowledge of the areas they are working in. The majority of them are former Clinton appointees (there’s the “change” in action again – big change huh, lefties? Begin spinning and defending him again now).

I get so tired of clueless leftists.

Well, hell, do you know any other kind?

But… all that experience in government means they’re uniquely qualified to run the U.S. in its many facets!

*struggles to keep a straight face*
*fails*

:D :D :D

But yeah. I feel a distinct degree of non-surprise over this. I mean, come on, show of hands; who didn’t expect Obama to surround himself with yes-men and political wonks?

I hoped that President Obama would follow through on his promises and rhetoric of new government and changing the status quo but… yeah deep down I knew he’d just hire a bunch of radicals and Clinton era guys. The one real surprise was retaining Gates, but I figure he’s just a political creature who’ll do what he has to to survive with a changing government.

What utter bullshit, just looking at the State Dept you have 8 including Hillary that have worked in the private sector.

leave it to a retarded liberal to think cashing checks from futures positions your husband’s friends bought for you 20 years ago counts as private sector experience. Perhaps Obama mowed his neighbor’s lawn in Kenya once when he was a kid, so he has private sector experience to, right?
