[Thrill]

Transferring political appointees into permanent federal positions will initially deprive Obama from installing his preferred appointees in some key jobs.

Efforts taking place in the Interior, Labor and Housing and Urban Development departments.

1. GRRRRR!

So after 8 years of an anti-labor labor department, Bush has found a way to keep some of the anti-labor people there even after he's gone? Unbelievable...

2. This is what happens when..

.. public officials are allowed to continue
operating extra-legally and unconstitutionally.

Bush should have been impeached and either convicted
or forced to moderate by now.

That that hasn't happened tells us how bad a shape
this country is in.

3. Wow, not surprising but this is definitely "washington as usual". Has anybody else noticed how Obama

doesn't seem to have much regard for traditional ways of doing things?
Can't wait to see him govern!
