I am echoing the buzz .. why is sos appointment taking so much time?

[TheCoxwain]

Is Hillary playing hardball?

[charlie and algernon]

1. or it's not really Hillary and the press is just speculating

and Obama is still vetting the short list

[TwilightGardener]

2. Did Obama even vet Kerry? Is there anyone else besides Richardson

he has met with? I'm surprised that he would just zero in on Hillary without meeting with other candidates.

5. i can't tell you if he met with me or not. Sorry.

[TwilightGardener]

6. I applaud your discretion.

[TheCoxwain]

8. You guys are funny

:rofl:

[trayfoot]

3. I don't think it is taking any more time than the others.............

it is just that the media has hyped it to the point of ridiculous. The media is driving the drama - not Obama or the Clintons.

4. I'm more surprised by how many appointments he has filled.

Seems like it usually takes much longer.

[Puzzler]

7. OK, what is the average amount of time...

... it takes (or took) a president elect to select a SOS? I mean, how long did it take Bush JR, Clinton, Bush Sr.. Reagan etc.?

[TreasonousBastard]

10. I'm not sure, but I betcha it was more than...

two weeks after the election.

(the need for instant gratification around here is astounding)

9. ..so much time? He has until January to do this.

[JuniperLea]

11. Because there are no mavericks in the Obama administration...

And there is an actual vetting process going on here. Getting all those ducks in a row and nailing all that Jello to the wall takes time. The media is stirring the shit, that is all. There needs to be a crisis every day or they won't get their precious readers/viewers.
