Reply #17: I started supporting Obama after Iowa. His appointments bother me a lot.

I don't like what certain members of the party are doing when they trash Howard Dean, and I think that he's letting some untrustworty people through the door. I find it disgusting when people who have done nothing but complain about Obama for the past 10 months (and then kind of clammed up after he became the nominee, but never have indicated any kind of loyalty) suddenly demand we all demonstrate trust in him just because they like what is rumored to be an appointment. I think there is a massive amount of pressure being exerted behind the scenes by the wrong factions of the party and I sincerely hope that Obama knows how to out-fox the foxes. Of course some people here would like to try to hush up my misgivings about the situation as bashing Obama. Let me be perfectly clear: it's not him, it's them. I like seeing Obama run around with some of the people he is allowing into his administration about as much as the shepherd likes to see the wolf in his pasture or as gladly as the father of the 17 year old daughter receives the visitation of 3 college freshman home for thanksgiving, reeking of peppermint schnapps, and with lascivious smirks on their faces.
