24. Hi, Ozy!
Thanks for a nice useful reply!

I recently read Jonathon Alter's the Defining Moment. It was all about just that. That a president's first act - choosing a cabinet - is kind of like launching a catapult. Hard to change the direction of the projectile after that.

Obama launched one that was all about currying favor with Republicans of all types while dividing his own party into worthies and un-worthies as an ultimate act of bowing to the Republicans.

This was a terrible idea and Rham authored it from what I can read.

I now hope that R's leaving signals an effort to unite all Democrats and divide the Republicans instead.
