Obama's Cabinet

Before I make some comments on President-elect Obama's cabinet picks I just want to say farewell to Ricardo Monteblam. My generation will always remember the Chrysler Cordoba with "Corinthian Leather", not to mention Mr Rourke waiting for "Da plane, da plane, boss."
All reports are that he was a true gentleman. His kind were rare, and they are getting rarer.

Now about the cabinet. Richardson is out, Hillary does not want to disclose the names of the foreign contributors to Billy's charity, Senate Arlen Specter and a few others want more details of just what role Eric Holder had in the pardons Bill Clinton gave at the end of his second term, and Tim Geithner did not know he was suppose to pay taxes, Social Security and Medicare when he work for the International Money Fund. (IMF). Not to mention the legally of his hired help.
Please. Geithner is to be the Secretary of the Treasury, the man in charge of the IRS. If he does not know when to pay his taxes, how should I?

Of course we all know they will get confirmed, just like Roland Burris. This Congress talks tough but thus far has displayed very little backbone.

They are moaning and groaning about releasing the 2nd $350 billion because the first half has not been well monitored. They should have put the monitors in place initially. They can still do it, what is their problem?

Obama and change. Where is it? He's bringing members of the Washington gang back to DC in one form or another. Where are the fresh new faces? Where are the fresh ideas?

Thus far I am not impressed. His first Hundred Days better be dynamic or a lot of people are going to be disappointed and let down.

Its Common Sense!
