The Obama Administration is much like a start-up business and
after the first year or so, it behooves the owners/leaders to make decisions as to what/who works and what/who doesn't. Having said that I hope after the mid-term elections a housecleaning type of event takes place in the Obama administration. There are numerous smart and talented people there but there are also the incompetents. They may be left over relics from the Bush administration or just plain dead wood that was hired in the beginning of this administration. Whatever.

I'll reserve opinion on this Sherrod/Vilsack event, it's not over by a long shot, but would like to see some terse and forceful actions taken, not just talk. The little things..the handling of BP, not so great IMO, I still think DOMA is going to be done right before the election but again, I'm speculating. You get my drift... For all of the greats that work for the Pres., they are over-shadowed by the inept and need to be rooted out.

2. I hope you're right...my fear is the "inepts (read Rahm) will convince Obama it's the
"greats" who need to go.

3. Startup businesses do not alienate their customers by allowing their employees to call them
"fucking retarded".

4. Aren't "terse and forceful actions" what got the administration in trouble in the first place?
Just sayin...

5. Maybe this is just free floating resentment talking but had it been a left wing blogger
that started this mess, I think the White House would have blasted them already.

7. Exactly, that's why I want to see action, not just words. The spine must
be found along with whatever other parts of the anatomy will do the trick...LOL.
