Yes, they really are that fucking stupid.
AP -- President-elect Barack Obama promised the voters change but has started his Cabinet selection process by naming several Washington insiders to top posts. Wehhhhh!!!!!
Duh. Fucking AP. President-elect Obama promised change from the eight miserable years of disastrous governing by Preznit Drooly McGameBoy and his rubberstamping rethug enablers, for petessake. Change from the sit-on-your-hands incompetence and virulent corruption of the past eight long fucking years. The wuz on muh tee-vee/lookit muh pokemons!/gonna cut brush/go fuck yourselves Constitution-raping. Snap out of it.
OMG -- he's hiring Clinton people!!1!!1!eleventybillion
Oh yeah, I mean after all, the Clinton admin brought us eight years of peace and prosperity, gas below a buck... how friggin' awful to have to go back to those dark, desperate times. President-elect Obama should hire a bunch of neophyte stooges instead of people who actually know wtf they're doing, dammit. Gosh.
Honestly.

Yeah, unfortunately, lots of people on the "left" are falling for this meme. That he can't POSSIBLY be keeping his word about working for change if he's hiring people who've been in Washington for more than five minutes.
Guess what? In order to make things work, you do need a FEW people who know their way around that god-awful town.
WHAT I wanna know, and what, i imagine, we're alllll gonna find out is this:
if his choices fail, if they crap out or cannot quite tow the line and/or DO THE FRIGGIN JOB,
how is Obi and FIRING?
can he rid him (and us) of any rogues and/or losers?????
Guess we're fixin to find out, but my bets on YES HE CAN!
great
GREAT!
TO HAVE YOU BACK Big M.

Wait a minute. I thought we were "the left".
Let me take one issue that we all seem to have agreed on a few weeks ago: The Iraq occupation.
If you believe that the invasion was unjustified, that we are currently an occupying power and that we should bring US soldiers and mercenaries home, then why would you want an administration populated by individuals that supported the invasion through votes and statements, voted to continue funding the occupation, refused to condemn torture and refuse to force Congress to address bringing forces home.
Each of Joe Biden, Hilary Clinton, Rahm Emmanuel, Richard Holbrooke and John Brennan, fit into one or more of the above categories. Do we really need another dose of corporate neocon Democrats at a time when we could be making historic strides in progressive economics and social justice?
I'm not advocating for fringe people here. How about some mainstream progressives like Russ Feingold, the only Senator to vote NO on the USA Patriot Act? How about NY Times columnist/Princeton economics professor Paul Krugman?
This is not a time to settle for second best. And it sure as hell is not a time to start shooting down "the left" from the right.
Thank you Julian. I was planning on sying the exact same same thing,only less eloquently.
