1. True if it really is expertise.
I don't trust anybody in government these days.

The proof is in the pudding.

4. also what these stupid fucks don't get...
Edited on Mon Nov-24-08 10:00 AM by dennis4868
is that the change is in Obama's policies not the people...the people are there to execute the change that Obama wants to bring (just like Bush's people were there for him to bring death and destruction around the world)

7. With a smart, ethical
president in charge, expertise is the quickest way to meaningful change.

9. It's sad that a number of posters here buy into and propagate the MSM's framing.

10. I agree with that--for the most part. Not sure that Richardson's strength is commerce, and
Hillary's strength definitely wasn't foreign policy, but hopefully it will work out.

11. The best thing about Hillary as SoS
is that she'll be out of the country a lot.

Kidding. Sort of.
