Well, Obama said he was going to govern from the middle. He said he wanted bipartisanship. As it turns out, he must have changed his mind or flat out lied. He is going hard left with his appointments. What a shame, but I figured as much.

Are you kidding? Bush is a flipping Liberal who has proven he likes socialism. We are way to far left now and headed off the cliff. I would love to have Bill back in the office and be in the center. Now we will have Jimmy Carter II and will suffer the same result, with the same plan.

Lindsey Graham thought that the Rahm pick was a good one (Graham's complete statement in the link below):

"I worked closely with him during the presidential debate negotiations which were completed in record time. When we hit a rough spot, he always looked for a path forward. I consider Rahm to be a friend and colleague. He's tough but fair. Honest, direct, and candid. These qualities will serve President-elect Obama well. Rahm understands the challenges facing our nation and will, consistent with the agenda set by President-elect Obama, work to find common ground where it exists."
