108. I'm much more concerned about all the Republicans Obama is placing back in power in his cabinet

Mon Jun 24, 2013, 12:44 AM

Jun 2013

after we worked so hard to throw them out, than ordinary citizens joining a Global, anti-Wall St. Corruption movement. Good for them for seeing the light.

Does it bother you at all that Obama has appointed so many Republicans to his cabinet?? What do you call Democrats who put Republicans in powerful positions in government if you call people who support Paul 'Paulbots'? Or are you happy to see all those Republicans back in power after we threw them out?

Was Obama unable to find any Democrats around to fill those positions? I could have helped do that, I can think of Democrats who are far superior and far more qualified than any Republican for those positions. But then, I'm a Democrat.
