Reply #54: What are you talking about?

You aren't making any sense. You claimed that we shouldn't have opinions on a presidents advisers because we elected him president and therefor he gets to appoint whoever he wants without criticism.

I made the simple claim that a presidents advisers, specifically his chief of staff have a large amount of influence on the presidents decision making process and that if the president chooses someone who is consistently on the wrong side of many issues, we have a right to be upset about it because that person will constantly be pulling the president in the wrong direction. I am in no way saying that Obama will be listening to everything Daley tells him and will always do what Daley tells him to do, I am simply saying that I would prefer for Obama to have a chief of staff who was on our side and would be pulling the president in a more progressive direction rather than a more centrist direction.

Your little statement about self-important blogs and postings has nothing to do with what I was saying, so I don't really get what point you were trying to get across.
