It's like all those old Leon Trotsky fanatics who, over time, became neoconservative fanatics. Their point of view is not the point at all. Their point revolves, instead, around believing in something they can call a necessary truth.
How ironic that The New Republic has an opinion on Trotskyists-gone-neocon, given the number of these folks writing on the pages of that once-illustrious journal...
I'm with you on the cabinet picks. I was afraid Obama would invite Bush's cabinet to stay on.
Agree on the cabinet picks - some Dems are on, along Robert Gates and Scowcroft counsel...I too imagined the exhumation of Reagan - I am still expect him to help naming everything for him, with the expectation of his own name being reserved to replace "Earth"But it is kinda fun to see the squirming under the bus from the loyalists that used to snarl at us that Hillary was DLC, GOP and Obama's speech in 2002 was proof of salvation, all the rest of is actions, words, alliances notwithstanding
I just now accidentally rejected a comment from someone called neworleans. Apologies. Send again, if you wish.
So far I haven't had much in the way of complaints about Obama's picks or much else he has done since the election. If he continues to act like a Democrat, he will go a long way into getting my support.At least he is looking for people who presumably know what they are doing. That's more than I can say for Bush.
