These are most likely the kinds of folks he hung out with in Chicago, so it only stands to reason that he would make these types of picks for his admin ... you know ... like with birds ... folks with a sordid past usually flock together.

You may be right about that. Those losers, liars, racists, and cheaters are about one administration too late. They should have been picked for government positions from 2000 to 2007.
But don't tell me you right wingers actually have anything against racists, do you?

I don't know about you, but my background is squeaky clean. Why? Because I haven't been influenced by politics. You should amend your statement to say that there "aren't any good politically appointed people in this country." The political industry attracts every type of loser known to man.
