People who are complaining about Obama's Cabinet Picks should go to Change.gov
and look at Obama's Agenda. As long as he sticks to the agenda he has on Change.gov, then I'm fine. That's all that matters.

2. Yep!
And he's picking people with no need for learning curve to carry it out. Many seem like "throwbacks from the Clinton era" because they were working in the executive branch back then to carry out Bill Clinton's agenda. If any of the cabinet picks were in fundamental disagreement with Obama's vision, then wouldn't they decline?

3. Kind of hard to set a foreign agenda when Clinton and her cronies will have their own.
Never mind the fact that Obama essentially cannot fire her should she "go rogue."

4. Why wouldn't he be able to fire her?
He will be POTUS and she will serve at HIS pleasure. Sure, it may politically distracting if it comes down to that, but definitely not impossible to do.

5. The hell he can't fire her.
Cabinet officers serve at the President's pleasure. If she doesn't stick to his agenda he can, should, and probably will, fire her ass.
