OCinBuffalo Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Awesome! But hardly shocking. You see, Obama is an ideologue, which means your willingness to be in lock step with his socialist(is anyone still trying to deny this?) ideology is FAR more important than your qualifications for a specific post. In fact, we haven't seen somebody push ideology to this extent, instead of solutions, since Jimmy Carter. The closest Bush came to something like this is trying to appoint his lawyer to the supreme court. But...most judges are experienced lawyers, and she was a very good and experienced lawyer so...not really near as bad. My speculation: Obama is tired of hearing from professional soldiers/sailors/marines/spooks regarding national security, because all of them know the proper way to conduct war, and it doesn't fit Obama's ideology. He is just realizing now that his world view doesn't fit with reality, and he doesn't like it. Obama is interested in having someone tell him what he wants to hear. Obama wants this to guy shield him from the professionals, while serving as the bearer of bad news to them, while also keeping Obama out of the line of fire.

IDBillzFan Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 This would probably be surprising if Obama somehow promised that his administration would never hire lobbyists, but since he never made that promise...ummm...he...uhhh... What? He promised what? Oh, never mind. And yet, somehow, it's still not surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
