    Trees rot or grow from the top

    Barack will set the direction that his appointments will march towards. He needs the veterans to get the work completed effectively....everyody can't be new ~ it'd take forever for them to get up to speed to get anything done!

    Naw...have the faith of a mustard seed here, my friends. Barack knows exactly what he's doing. And he's pragmatic enough to get the job done. Let's spend any negative energies second-guessing what damage Bush & Paulson can be doing in the next two months, and have confidence in the guy we overwhelmingly elected!
