  @ Scared grandma: What part of bipartisanship did you not understand from Barack Obama's message?

  He never ran as a leftist. That was Kucinich.

  I don't see anyone here lamenting that we didn't elect Kucinich. He was the true leftist choice. He ran as a leftist.

  Now some of you are whining like babies because you actually got what was advertised.

  When did Obama say he would appoint only leftists to his administration? He never did. Many of us who supported Clinton argued that Obama and Clinton were not that war apart. What did you cite as evidence that they were? Usually one speech made by Obama before he ever attained the senate. It was the "experience" you most wanted to voted for him on.

  Well, now he has the good sense to seek out experienced people for his administration. Where did you think he was going to get them from? The Daily Kos?

  His is only the second Democratic administration since Clinton's. He wants people experience in administering a presidency. He really has to seek these experienced people from people who have worked for the Clinton Administration. Axelrod worked for the Clinton Administration. So did our new attorney general. I don't hear any of you squealing about them.

  I am damned glad he is smart enough not to choose a bunch of neophytes. Administration is not policy.

  Obama will steer the policy.

  Or do you think he is not up to the task of leadership for which you elected him?
