The Obama Transition

Obama's appointments for the White House transition in January caused many in the media to report concern over these experienced veterans. Now why would this be a handicap, when some of the same people criticized Bill Clinton with his inexperienced picks back in '92? Do we really want inexperienced folks coming in to fix the myriad problems the current administration is leaving behind?

Media Matters' writer Foser asks, "When did experience become a flaw?" He complains that, back in the 90's, the media complained about the inexperience of the appointees. Now that Obama is appointing high-powered, experienced folks, they complain about a lack of change. You just can't please some of the folks some of the time! Of course, the biggest complaint is about Hillary, the epitome of satan (along with Bill) to many right-wingers.

So, if you have better suggestions, check out Obama's transition website. You can leave suggestions or share a story. Heck, maybe they'll take your resume!
