2. Did Obama even vet Kerry? Is there anyone else besides Richardson |
|
he has met with? I'm surprised that he would just zero in on Hillary without meeting with other candidates.

3. I don't think it is taking any more time than the others............. |
|
it is just that the media has hyped it to the point of ridiculous. The media is driving the drama - not Obama or the Clintons.

4. I'm more surprised by how many appointments he has filled. |
|
Seems like it usually takes much longer.

7. OK, what is the average amount of time... |
|
... it takes (or took) a president elect to select a SOS? I mean, how long did it take Bush JR, Clinton, Bush Sr.. Reagan etc.?

11. Because there are no mavericks in the Obama administration... |
|
And there is an actual vetting process going on here. Getting all those ducks in a row and nailing all that Jello to the wall takes time. The media is stirring the shit, that is all. There needs to be a crisis every day or they won't get their precious readers/viewers.
