"By all means, wait to judge Obama based on his decisions and policies, not who he appoints to administer them." I don't understand how appointments aren't examples of decisions. It's true they aren't policies, but they are indicative of which directions policies will most likely take. Obama said he wanted many strong voices in place but there aren't really opposing voices in the group. I don't think these picks look very promising for truly addressing the many dire problems that confront this nation. I also think, if you really look into what Obama said/did during the past, these picks make sense. He has always been a center-right politician and these choices confirm his orientation.
