(62,325 posts)since he already is part of this administration and as I said, this administration seems determined to include Republicans in the cabinet making it look more like a bi-partisan Committee, than a Democratic administration.
That was one of the first and biggest disappointments after the 2008 election, Obama's choices for his cabinet. I think the only Progressive I can think of was Van Jones, and as soon Breitbart began his smears against him, the Administration basically let him go, and he was a great Environmentalist.
I was hoping that this time it would be different, but Obama likes moderate Republicans better than Progressive Dems. He did say that Reagan was his most admired president and slammed FDR, incorrectly btw, so we know Obama is not a real Progressive Dem but the choice was him or Romney.
I'm hoping there will be a time when we can elect a real Progressive who does not pander to Republicans. But big money makes that harder and harder to do.
No Democratic President should be putting Republicans back in power, imo.
Good seeing you around Turborama
