He can keep Luger on the list. That RINO needs replaced anyway.

What amazes me is how Janet Napolitano might become Secretary of Homeland Security yet she has done nothing in my state (Arizona) to combat illegal immigration and shuns Joe Arpaio for actually doing his job as sheriff.

I think the big kicker in all of this is how Obama wants to “change” Washington and get rid of all the old faces that haven’t don’t anything for the American people; yet look at all the people he is appointing to his cabinet… damn ironic if I don’t say so myself.

I dunno, but not only are the “progressives” upset, but so are the anti-war groups

Soon, unions (which pay half of the campaign contributions to EVERY Democrat) are gonna be upset too. If this happens, union benefits, probably worker pay, and workers will be cut, and while I hate to go out on a limb….somehow I just don’t see that as being fruitful for future contributions from those same union workers to Democrats who enable it.

obama owes so many people favors for helping to pave his way that we can only guess at what the finished product of his cabinet will be. when you have a man with no experience trying to run this nation he will have to surround himself with many people who are much smarter than he is. makes you wonder how the dumbass was even elected.

Hmmm … Obama, a bit stronger than Jimmy Carter? I’ll wait on that until the actual appointments are made.

In terms of Hillary becoming Secretary of State, there are some risks. The major concern is how much of the foreign policy will be Obama and how much will be Clinton, or will it be a hybrid? With regard to Gates staying on as SecDef, that’s not likely.

Funny Scott, but that was exactly my reaction. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I just hope they’re right. I may disagree with our president-elect, but I truly wish him well since the security of our nation hangs in the balance. I sincerely HOPE things will not be as bad as I fear.
