Reply #29: Once again, it isn't about her being a Republican. It is about qualifications

[saracat]

and politicization. Please stop twisting this and of course Perino wasn't Obama's idea. She was suggested by McConnell, who is also no intellectual giant and Obama very nicely acted on his suggestion.There are a lot a qualified Republicans who could have been appointed but they weren't referred by McConnell.It is McConnell Obama is trying to please. It is all political.However bipartisanship only works in one direction and it isn't ours.
