    Already We're Complaining??

    The "progressives" are worried because Obama is smart enough to fill his cabinet and advisory posts with really intelligent people who already know what they're doing? Gee, I guess it's too bad he didn't choose a lot of totally inexperienced left-wing idealists who would have failed embarassingly to address any of the country's many problems. Maybe we liberals can elect somebody that stupid next time if it will make us feel better.
