What do all of you think? My opinion? So far, although President Obama has been suprisingly even-handed in most of his Cabinet choices, there are a few that concern me as being "Eco-nuts" and the "Lifestyle Police" (think the Surgeon General appointee here). Not a good thing for civil liberties. I also get the impression that this seeming "even-handedness" may be less out of "fairness" and more out of "seeking the path ...

Seems that his appointed successor--former Secretary of State of Illinois Roland Burris--has been told "No Senate seat for you!" This story from MSNBC, "Burris rejected in bid to claim Senate seat", tells of what happened when Mr. Burris showed up with unacceptable credentials: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28507873?GT1=43001 A mob of reporters awaited him outside the Senate's North Door, where Sergeant at Arms Terrance Gainer and a throng of officers ...

One problem here: That's illegal.

This article from "Politico"--"Liberals voice concerns about Obama"--Democrats themselves are NOT exactly fond of what Obama is pledging to do...or rather, based on his campaign promises, NOT do.
