All things considered, I've been somewhat pleased with the President-elect's choices for his Cabinet. The only one that I am strongly opposed to is his choice for Attorney General. It's clear to me that Eric Holder is much too ethically challenged for that position.
In fact, Eric Holder is clearly a LIAR. And he was either incompetent or crooked in the Rich pardon. Not something I can condone, and I will encourage Senator Cornyn to strongly oppose his confirmation.
Other than that, I'm happy that the choices are somewhat moderate. I don't agree with them ideologically, but I never did believe in the Democrat tactic of opposing confirmations just because I don't agree with somebody's politics - and I won't start now.
But at some point, it looks to me like Obama is going to have to throw a bone to the far left of his party - the ones that helped him secure the nomination. They can't be happy with his Cabinet selections thus far - they're gonna want something. And it's looking more and more all the time like if they get something, that it might be in Interior, Agriculture, etc.
That scenario will be BAD for all of us. An environmental wacko at Interior or EPA - or a liberal consumer activist at USDA - will be big trouble for most of us. I hope that doesn't happen, but if it does, I sure expect you Obama supporters to speak out against it.
But except for Holder, so far, so good on the Cabinet pics. And the fact that I like it, must not be good for you libs. Even though I don't expect you to admit it. :lol:
