Will Obama's Team of Rivals Fare Better Than Lincoln's?

I'm personally disappointed with Obama's choices for his cabinet. He promised change, but now he's appointing career politicians like Hillary Clinton. (Did he forget her sleazy campaign tactics? She makes Lee Atwater look like Mother Theresa.)

Barack Obama(bright, intelligent..loves his country)..Hillary Clinton(bright, intelligent..loves her country..Good start president elect..we are supporting you and your picks one hundred percent and more importantly..we are praying for you and your cabinet...God bless these United States of America!

Good grief. Obama is as Machiavellian as they get.

Isn't it refreshing to have a president who is bright,articulate,intelligent and one who does not hold grudges but is more interested in investing in America! Isn't it refreshing to have a president who when he speaks you can feel proud to say "that is my president speaking"..you don't have to worry about green verbs and sentences that do not make any sense! God bless Barack Obama and his cabinet and God bless America for making the right choice!

Quite frankly, I think Republicans should be kept away from management at the federal level..they have been a failure and always leaves us with a deficit..Bill Clinton left us with a surplus..Ronald Reagan, Papa Bush left us with big deficits and now Baby Bush is leaving us with the biggest deficit ever in the history of this country. The democrats always have to clean up the mess. Thank God that we now have a smart,level headed thinker who will surround himself with bright people to deal with the current situation that affects our beloved country. God bless Barack Obama and his cabinet and God bles America!

The Clintons are capable people without all of the manipulation by media, surragates, and old timers.

I think the Clinton appointment was a bargning chip to get the support that the Obama campaign was convienced it needed to win. To really be "CHANG", if the Clinton's chose not to be involved they should have been left alone and the Obama campaign should have taken the risk. I think they would have been suprised.
If the truth was faced, Obama started to move up with women and the working man's voters before the Clinton drama.

Yhis has the over tones of "calling in favors".

With the push of the media and the oldtimers there was no trust that the new guy was capable of doing the job.

This is the unspoken evidence of the insidius racism in our country. AND THIS IS NOT THE RACE CARD.

Relax folks. It's been so long, you just don't remember how a real "uniter" operates. The last person who ran for president and claimed to be a "uniter" wasn't. Not hardly. So sure it's gonna look a little foreign to ya.

Kennedy, you must be a Republican and Republicans are not too bright! You Republicans believe in voodoo economics(trickle down theory)and that you can grow the economy by fighting wars and messing in the internal affairs of other countries. I am an independent voter but democrats always make more sense than Republicans..I normally do not respond to Republicans because they don't have a clue and the average Republican would look you in the eye and try to justify why its more important to spend 10 billion dollars a month to support a baseless,unjust war in Iraq than to invest that same money in Education, healthcare and in growing the economy..God bless Barack Obama and his cabinet and God bless America! The Republicans are about to go! What a sigh of relief! Thank you Lord!

Stanley and you are exactly what all politician's, rep and democrat, dream about. A sheep that can be slaughtered.

Obama said that he will include a Republican in his cabinet..I am waiting to see who that could be! beside chuck hagel..he will be hard pressed to find a smart Republican..Republicans are rich but not too bright and Obama needs bright people..Haven't you seen what the Republicans have done to our country? They believed that you grow the economy by fighting wars..even my 13 year old daughter know that does not make sense! Thank God the democrats are in to fix this economic problem(I am not even a democrat..Am an Independent voter) but experience has taught me that the democrats are the better of the two evils on the question of domestic policy and focusing on America rather than the outside world..I am an American not an Iraqi or Afghan..America ought to come first. Obama and him bright team will do a great job of turning this country around if they are not blocked by the Republic who are good at playing politics and who put party before country. God bless Barack Obama and his cabinet and God bless America!

Jan: You mean like Obama's choice for Treasury secretary? A man that represents the worse curse to the American government. The Federal Reserve. A group of super rich private banks that print us money from nothing and collect interest.

Obama is the twin brother of Bush...seperated at birth. Chosing Timmy for TS is just following the family traditon.

Start buying food....it's more of the same old, same old.

Obama is the smartest, most intelligent, most articulate president that we will ever have..sit back and watch! He will do a great job of turning this country around, because he will surround himself with smart people..he will seek their advice and he would make decision based on commonsense..quite unlike George W..God bless Barack Obama and his cabinet and God bless America!

What is the most impressive and rewarding experience of Obama is that he sees the situation we are in and is doing his best to surround himself with the best and brightest minds he can, regardless of petty opinions. In fact, his continual standing on higher ground, with noble thinking is exactly what the American people want and need.
The world is faced with several significant challenges, do we have time to bicker, gossip, lie, play games, be ego-centric? I think not. The wake-up call has been given. Action must be based on sound judgement and be swift. My prayer will always be for Obama to have wisdom and understanding and this is what I am pursuing within myself so as to be of service to him and America.

Jock...what Obama are you seeing? I've heard it from his own words

Josehama-

Senator Kennedy stopped drinking some time ago with help from his friend, Senator Hatch. He now has a brain tumor which will probably be fatal but that's no reason to stop kicking him, right?

So far, I've been extremely impressed. The Dems have a deep bench and he's calling in all the best talent and assigning them to the roles they are uniquely fitted to succeed at. He will be in charge of a great team, a real Dream Team, that is truly dedicated to fixing America and restoring it to its former glory. Big, positive change is coming!

The only thing Bill Richardson should be in charge of is putting wheels of miscarriages. He's a self important, egomaniacal ass who will cause nothing but grief to Obama and his cabinet. I give him about a year before Obama hands him his hat.

Let's just hold judgment until his cabinet is seated and he actually begins to govern. At this point, it seems, he can't blink without raising eyebrows.

It's a baited question. Don't answer it. Big brother will come knocking. The SS Agents will pay you a visit.

Forget whether the team of rivals fairs better than Lincoln's! With Obama fare better than Lincoln?
