We are thrilled to death to get an intelligent man in office for the first time in a long time and here you are crying because Obama isn't doing YOUR bidding.
He's still about 2 months away from taking charge and is making appointments that any centrist should make. I'm glad that he has an ear for what McCain thinks as well as many others across both sides of the political spectrum.
It's a wise thing to angle to the middle when you are starting things off. People can't and aren't accusing him of being a wild-eyed leftist and are taking note of the thoughtful appointments that he is making from the near left and near right side of the aisle. The cries of "Muslim" are fading quickly in the distance. Obama is going to need a balanced feedback to solve or minimize one of the greatest economic challenges of the century. Let's give him ALL our support and prayers.
