Interesting Start...

So, the first pick for PE Obama is Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel. Two things are interesting about this:
1. Staffers and Journalists alike have dubbed the Obama campaign "No Drama Obama" because there were no pit bulls or attack dogs on the Obama staff. That's all changed now with the appointment of Rahmbo to the cabinet. He's a hard core partisan who has a take no prisoners attitude toward Republicans, and particularly conservatives. This isn't criticism, it's just pointing something out. Obama ran on being different, an outsider full of change. The first thing he does is completely change from the direction of his campaign and appoint Clinton supporters to his cabinet kind of flies in the face of that 'change'
2. It annoys me to no end to listen to liberals, Bush haters, who literally get red in the face at the mention of Carl Rove. His evilness is only surpassed by that of George Bush. Rahm Emanuel is the complete embodiment of all the things that these same liberals associate with Rove, yet, they won't have the same criticism. I personally like Carl Rove and think he's the kind of guy you want to have on your side in a fight.

One other interesting thing, the appointments that Obama has made so far are most likely the EXACT same ones that Hillary would have made. Interesting. Very interesting.
