Report: Nearly 80% of Obama’s Top Bundlers Given “Key Administration Posts”

Change FAIL.

I have to say, I'm not one to believe in Pols. But I did think he'd be at least marginally better on something like this. Instead... worse. Sweet. Well, let's look at the alternative... Yep, folks, we're screwed.

If I had to speculate wildly, I'd guess that Obama's relative newness to the political scene meant he had a shortage of trusted political allies from which to appoint administration posts. As a consequence he dipped into his pool of donors for administrative posts more than a veteran politician might have.

By that measure, voting for a political outsider is the surest means to allow entrenched interests to gain the largest sway.

[Al B. Sure!]

Anyone else find it odd that gribbler takes Obama screwing up as a defense of Obama versus opponents because the screw-up was reported in the media?

Makes no god damned sense.

Its not a defense of Obama its a lame attempt to lay claim that the media doesn't love love themselves some Obama.

Well, the alternative is someone who's already entrenched. As Arrian said, we're screwed either way.
