By the way, weren't Clinton, Durbin and Kennedy Obama's mentors as well? And wasn't Lieberman assigned to him by the Democratic leadership?
Second, by having to go to the Republicans to fill the posts at State and/or Defense, Obama pretty explicitly states not only the lack of "talent" (see #1) in the Democratic party, but also does the party one worse. He is saying, in so many words, that every time the Republicans argue that Democrats cannot be trusted with defense - they're right. Because I can't find in the Democratic party someone "talented" enough to run the department.
Hmmmm? Sounds an awful lot like Joe to me.
Who backed whom in which election is a kinda dubious ground to base things on - I'm more concerned with whom he considers his close friends - and that's Holy Joe. [ Parent ]
