It seems that the rule by which Glenn rates an obama pick as impressive is when that pick opposes Bush.
Given the fact that;
1) one of obama's picks (Big Bill Richardson) has already withdrawn because of corruption charges.
2) Another, rahmboy emanuel, is buddy buddy with the skunk of the month, democrat governor blago (can't wait for more details about all of the means by which pols get payoffs). . . Has rahmboy resigned from his house seat yet? or is he still hanging on, in case obama fires him?
3) Eric (smash-in-the-door-and-take-the-kid-at-gunpoint) Holder, who will be grilled about his role in selling pardons out of the white house (unless the democrats prevent the republicans from asking questions), is likely to be a goner.
But despite these guys being under the gun before they even got going, Glenn is talking about obama's impressive picks.
Tell me obama made great picks, like Leon Panetta, four years from now, when we have suffered no terrorist attacks. I hope you have the opportunity to rub my nose in it.
Future Vice President, Joe Biden, doesn't think that will happen.
