But then, it will be hard to find a clean dem. Richardson= pay for play, Clinton=pay for play and God knows what else, Holder=Mark Rich pardon and link to Blago, Arne Duncan=lowest test scores in the country, Napolitano=against the fence, Leon Podesta CIA?????, LaHood transportation????. Maybe he named these knowing they would fail to be confirmed so he can name more far left like the rest of his cabinet. Thus, getting rid of the Clintonistas per her agreement to endorse him. However, with the majority the dems have in the senate and the republicans lack of spine, all will probably be confirmed in the short term. He can then fire anyone he chooses and we all know this guy is famous for throwing people under the bus.

Was not Hillary thoroughly vetted with intrusive financial scrutiny, including hubby Bill providing all donation data? So was this not known by the OTT (Obama Transition Team)??? Or could this be another one of those hallmark "judgment" moments?
