Somehow, I'm just not liking this at all. I'm sorry and I want to be supportive but I've had it with this bi-partisan crap.

7. Neither does the OP.
Feeding the rumor mongering about some supposed feud between Obama and Dean isn't terribly constructive either.

11. I disagree.
It fits the phony, made-up anti-Obama rhetoric perfectly.

3. Well, we have plenty of people of color, gays, women, Hispanics represented, so it's no big deal.
Oh wait, no we don't.

4. Too bad somebody else didn't win...they would have found a
job for Dean.

5. Wait, because Obama didn't offer Dean a cabinet position that means he has a problem with him?

8. It doesn't appear that he is offering him anything. And he is rejecting the 50 state strategy. Just
saying.

13. True!!! The DLC never supported Dean. Emmanuel, the DLC'r, is keeping Dean out.

17. No, Rahm Emmanuel has problems with Dean,
and he's Obama's chief of staff. I'm still trying to figure out how (or WHY) that happened. Rahm Emmanuel is a DLC/Republican Lite tool with a reputation for having a big ego. He didn't like Dean's 50-state strategy--apparently because it was "heresy" that WORKED!!! Maybe it worked too well and put too many progressives in Congress for Rahm's taste.

16. Another issue I have with Gregg at Commerce
Edited on Wed Feb-04-09 03:06 PM by Blue_In_AK
is that he supports drilling in ANWR. This was a counterproductive appointment, IMO.

ed. I read it somewhere recently, but here's the original article. http://www.adn.com/anwr/story/191583.html
