During the past few weeks, Obama has made a multitude of nominations of people who don't seem to believe in the same things most progressives believe in and we've been told that it doesn't matter because Obama will make his appointments to Administrative positions toe his line.
We have yet to hear Obama tell us just what his line is.
If he takes Ms Johnsen's counsel to heart and actually follows her advice, we have reason to hope.
If, however, his vision of Right and Wrong doesn't fit with her's and he either forces her to bend to his Executive Will or resign, then we'll end up right where we are now.
His current level of silence and total lack of leadership regarding events in Gaza do not leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling about how this is going to work out and thus, I don't share Greenwald's optimism.
