CNN Advice for Obama: Why not appoint an all-GOP cabinet?
Wouldn't that be bold and in keeping with your campaign pledges to bring everyone together?
Why not consolidate all cabinet posts under a "Secretary of Business" and appoint Mitt Romney to it? Wouldn't that be BOLD! ------------- 
These people done lost they minds. They hear the part of the speech where "we want to work together," but never listen to the part where he says "if the price of peace is .... that's not change, but surrender to the status quo..." They're in for a rude awakening.

Newest: "Democrats now will think they have a mandate to let that top tax rate expire."
Yes, I wonder why they would think that? It's not like Obama mentioned it in every single commercial and campaign speech he made, or anything like that. OH, right. That's exactly what he did. |

Talk about maximum stupidity! They would NOT be calling on the Republicans to do something like this. Hell, even after the whole 2000 (s)election of George W. Bush, which practically demanded a bipartisan cabinet, NOBODY demanded that he appoint more Democrats to his cabint.
