In reply to the discussion: I think Obama made a big mistake appointing Sebelius as HHS Sec instead of Dr. Dean [View all]indepat
(20,899 posts)39. Can't think of many mushy-headed libruls or progressives being appointed to high positions
in BHO's administration. We need strong on national defense, tough on crime, drugs, and terra individuals appointed to high-level government positions, not mushy-headed libruls. Everyone knows libruls is a bad name.

The President should appoint the people he likes, respects, and wants to see at meetings every day
