The reality is we’re there and our presence created certain situations. Now we have to deal with them; and let’s face it, The One is not up to the task. And I would imagine he’s petrified, does not know what to say or do, and with the volatile Indian/Pakistan situation, any wrong word or move and BOOM we pay either with more attacks, Russian encroachments, the list is endless. And then we have the economic catastrophe. While the loonies who voted for That One grow more and more scandalized at his choices, we’re all going to pay the price.

Hank, I sincerely hope you’re right because I’m thinking it will be bad. Goolsbee’s name has come up again as an economic advisor. He is the one who was asked by Obama(or on his own which is worse) to speak with the Canadian Consul in Chicago about NAFTA. Goolsbee is a radical on free trade. If Obama doesn’t have and never had real policies of his own and doesn’t understand his responsibilities, he will be allowing others to make decisions for him and there won’t be any consistency. When we lost Hillary, we lost some one with an understanding of policy.

I’ve heard that too Strawberry, but according to the link provided to the article by Chris Bower, this decision was made by those inside his campaign.

Seems the Clinton’s and their people are in charge? Let’s hope I am right. I trust them over the Meshuga types Opampers has associated with in the past. Its shameful Opampers ego shoved aside the rightful winner of the primary. He is shitting his pants and pissing down his leg alternatively. He is way out of his league for certain.

NPR said that Leon Panetta was helping to pick Obama’s transition team…but I haven’t been able to find anymore about it.

It would seem he has more confidence in Bush’s judgement than he does his own otherwise why leave a man in an important position who disagrees totally with his stated position of ending the war?

His answer? The American people expect experienced people in these dangerous times. That isn’t what he has been saying for over a year. Isn’t his experience as Community Organizer sufficient to enable him to make the important decisions for himself?

Who is he listening to now? He is trying to convince us it is safer to leave the Bush appointee in place rather than find someone who agrees with his stated goals? He won and now he is scared out of his mind. He is allowing his transition team to make the decisions because he is completely lost. This is a shadow presidency and we don’t know who’s in charge.

well since you and the BOBO campaign spent so many months lambasting Hillary’s lack of foreign policy cred, I’d have to say by you own definition, Her appointment is ridiculous. Which illustrates our plight. It’s difficult to be the intellectual opposition of an administration that will do a one eighty like that and just as quickly get collective amnesia that they ever said anything different.

Ain’t gonna happen, ain’t ever gonna happen. Face it, you’re stuck with your worst nightmare: President Barack Obama.

If you think joining the administration of the recently elected president-elect is “treason”, then the country ain’t fucked–you are.

Well, that doesn’t answer my question, does it? Which of his appointments look “more and more ridiculous”?

You guys are going to have to start offering some actual evidence if you want to provide an intellectual opposition to the incoming administration. So far, it’s not there. It’s just a lot of closed eyes, fingers in the ears, and loud mouths. A lot of “nanny-nanny boo-boos”.

“He was smart enough to get elected, however he did it.”

***

Yep. And, the people who actually voted for him and BELIEVED him are the REAL dumbies. Yes, Obama IS smart in knowing how to con people. But it doesn’t matter; thanks to Hillary and all of the other seasoned veterans he’s lining up to ‘show him the way’, to teach him everything he needs to know – he’ll come out smelling like a rose, and alas – getting all the credit. Yep, he’s smart alright.

The hard left meets the hard right at the fringes and becomes the same POS philosophy.
