What exactly is unbelievable? These are titular positions. Ohhh someone who donated a lot of money to Obama's campaign is now the ambassador to Denmark! BFD. When it came to countries where the ambassador actually might matter (China, India, etc) he picked well qualified people.
When he picks someone he went to high school with to run the Department of Agriculture (*cough* Palin *cough*) I will worry.
Ambassador to China's qualified experience:
"The governor also has deep ties to Asia: He lived in Taiwan as a Mormon missionary, mastering Mandarin while there. He and his wife, Mary Kaye, adopted a daughter from China, and he briefly served as U.S. ambassador to Singapore in the early 1990s."
Me! Appoint me! I'm not a far-left activist, I'm more of a centrist, but I can espouse far-left ideas with the best of 'em. I'm empathetic. Big time empathy. My story may not be all that unusual, but I'm certain I could make it seem compelling. I'm not from the ghetto, but from the hills of Arkansas, so no stranger to poverty. Appoint me!
Agreed on that bolded part! You have demonstrated your abilities amply.
