Look, here's how this is going to go:
Barack turns to Larry and says, "Larry, we need to get out of this financial mess, how do we do that without putting 2 million people out of work?" And Larry says, "Well, you do this, this and this." And Barack says, "OK, Tim, make it happen. Rahm get Congress on board. Hillary, get out your bull horn." Next, Barack turns to David and says, "General, we need to get out of Iraq without handing the entire ME over to Iran. How do we do that?" And David says, "Well, we need to this, this and this." And Barak says, "Fine. Bob, make it happen. Joint Chiefs, get with the plan. Janet, help 'em out. Hillary, pave the road." Now, does anybody really give a hoot and a holler how "progressive" any of these folks are? NO. We care that they can implement the policies of the center-left President we just elected. Let's get a little more goal-oriented people. There's work to do.
