Why Should Obama’s Poor Cabinet Choices Surprise Anyone?

Candidate Obama chose to be friends with William Ayres, the unrepentant terrorist.
Yet, the leftist media thought it was more important to “vet” Bristol Palin’s boyfriend’s family.

Candidate Obama chose to allow Tony Rezko, now an indicted felon, to loan Obama $300,000 to help him buy his big home. The press and Democrat voters thought John McCain’s seven homes – bought without the hint of a graft – was a more important story.

Citizen and candidate Obama chose to remain in the church of Reverend Wright’s, whose diatribes against America are now famous. But, the media and Democrats thought it was more important to demonize President Bush who kept America safe from terror attacks for 7 ½ years.

Senator Obama voted against the Surge. In light of the Surge’s obvious success, did the media call candidate Obama’s judgement into question? No.

So, why is anyone surprised that a number of Obama’s choices for high level governmental posts are ethically-challenged, like Tom Daschle, Tim Geithner, Nancy Killefer and Bill Richardson?

Caught up in their bloodlust for President Bush, Democrats chose to deny the reality of who Mr. Obama truly was: A stunningly inexperienced Chicago-bred politician who had made poor choices, in his associations and judgements.
In politics as in life, you get what you pay for.

    Seth, it’s no surprise to many people who saw this guy for who he is: “A stunningly inexperienced Chicago-bred politician who had made poor choices, in his associations and judgements.” The fact is, a lot of young voters and deluded older voters believed they were participating in some kind of utopic cultural revolution in voting for this guy. Now we can only wonder: How bad will things have to get before voters will wake up?

    You’re right, ttj, there were so many people that were entranced by the “One” and his cult of personality. That’s not a good reason to vote for him. The MSM was complicent in helping him get elected by choosing not to report on his leftist/marxist background and associations.

    Great post. What a difference a year makes, back when McCain was scolded for not knowing exactly how many houses he and his wife, own. Key point in the article is there’s not a hint of graft, there, yet Obama and several of these cabinet choices have major skeletons in their closets.

    Gonna be interesting to see how the media treat the Blago affair, considering it appears Imanuel and others may have been involved in this pay-to-play stuff.

    Media bias, anyone?

    HowardRoarke,

    We know exactly where the left is coming from and it means more big government and less individual freedom.

    I think that not only will Blago roll over for the Feds, their (Obama’s and Blago’s) bagman, Tony Rezko will also start talking, provided they have the right incentives… :twisted:
