Rumors are flying everywhere about possible people for cabinet positions. As I understood it, Obama said he would not accept lobbyist or people who "known" to work too closely with lobbyists. Then I hear that Clinton might be a candidate for secretary of state... excuse me? She is one of biggest of the corruptees who got paid tons of money by lobbyists as well as those who have contributed a lot to her campaign whom she still "owes". Then I hear Napolitano (sp?) as attorney general... I am not knowledgable about governors, particularly ones from another state but I remember Napolitano as a MAJOR (and by major, I mean HUGE) supporter of amensty of all illegal immigrants... do we want someone like that enforcing our laws? She enforces what she believes instead of what IS the law... I also hear Bill Richardson as a candidate for secretary of state... but I remember when he was running for pres. he was a guy who seem to say stuff he doesn't really believe in if you delve into his record... he says the opposite a lot... Doesn't it worry you about the candidates Obama is choosing? What happen to no lobbyist in these positions? What happened to enforcing our laws? Was Obama lying to win? I guess I have to wait and see who gets into what cabinets but these rumors are beginning to worry me...

From what I read earlier, he has offered the SoS position to HRC.
You need to remember that Obama is the ultimate opportunist, if it's good for him, everything/everyone else be damned.

Yeah, but he said that BEFORE he was elected. Now he has won and all bets are off!

Oh well.
Actually I sort of feel sorry for the guy....He (Pres. Elect Obama) is now REALLY looking face to face with all the "oh S--T" reality surge stuff that WE in the military are pretty accustomed to by now...(but Obama not having the benefit of prior service will be clueless even on that "front" too)..
Yea, he's stuck. He may actually BE a "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" type of character....honestly TRYING to produce REAL CHANGE....(and we are ALL assuming here that He will stick to his words, and that it was NOT all just more flowery lip-service)...but once he gets there....he's going to be up S--T creek...He has NOT been in Congress long enough to really SEE anything...and the way things REALLY work in the Beltway.....It may all come as a bit of a surprise to him.....

...God...help the guy...really.....

His biggest lie was "change".

It's clear it's only going to be a lot more of the same.

Seems recently alot of "hush , hush" over his interviews with potential cabinet members... Does seem off the way Clinton and Obama slammed each other for many months, and now she may be on his cabinet...I just have a bad feeling in regards to Clinton...prove me wrong...

He's a big fat liar! And he stinks as a President, too. I know he hasn't started yet, but I can tell.

And he stutters and can't talk without a teleprompter. He's so stupid!

And his family is ugly!

Have I covered it all, wingnuts?

I believe you have just begun to scratch the surface.

We will check back with you in a few years and see what tune you'll be singing then. You know, like Rev. Wright says, "after the chickens have come home to roost."
