Obama has assembled an incredible National Security team

[scheming daemons]

The fact that the far left are upset with the appointment of Gates, Jones, and Clinton...

...and the far right are upset with the appointment of Rice and Napolitano....




...means that Obama did a great job.



This is a powerful and impressive team, and the world will take notice.



Obama has proven to be an extremely strong chief executive .... for someone with no "executive experience" according to his detractors.

4. Personally, I think him keeping Gates on was a brilliant move.

Omg - I'm going to get flamed for that comment - but ---

He is going to use Gates to help us get out of Iraq.
The RW will not be able to scream and pout and spread bullshit because it is one of their own that is going to be in charge of this mission.

He covered his butt by keeping Gates right where he is.

8. He can keep him long enough until Clark is eligible.

Just so you know, any Clark fans out there. :hide:

immigration policies. :shrug: it was discussed last week on Amy Goodman's "Democracy Now".
