Reply #147: And just where the hell is my jet pack, anyway?

I was promised a jet pack, like, FORTY YEARS ago, and here I am, still riding the damned bus!

But seriously, folks - look, no one should expect to approve of EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY appointment he makes. There are going to be people you don't like, people you don't think should be in those jobs. But every time you question the appointment of a "Washington insider" ask yourself - would you rather have the crony appointment system we've had for the last 8 years remain in place? You want the likes of Heckuva Job Brownie? I'll take a brass-knuckles asshole over a complete incompetent any day. Sure, I'd rather all the appointments were the people *I* would pick - but no one elected me President.
