Obama's going to need blogger support to get his stuff passed.
I thought Gibbs handled himself with extraordinary skill the times I saw him....he never lost his cool.

Sic Transit: The Honeymoon is Looking a Bit Wan
It still doesn’t add up. Why march back briskly into Clintontime? Besides, she’d make a lousy Secretary of State. Mrs Clinton has never displayed any talent for negotiation, nor even any conspicuous appetite to find out what is going on in the world, let alone come up with a new vision of America’s role in the 21st century. She’s an interventionist by instinct, her finger twitching over the Bomb Release lever. She voted yes on the Iraq war. She was an ardent advocate of NATO’s onslaught on Yugoslavia. If we do get Hillary at State we may get Madeleine Albright as one of her sidekicks – the woman who said in the late 1990s that starving half a million Iraqi children was “worth it”, probably the line that the 9/11 al Qaeda hijackers were muttering to themselves when they sped on their mission of revenge towards the Twin Towers. This is change?
She left the National Journal to work on the Obama campaign and spoke well for him on the nightly programs.
I was hoping to see her have a visible position in the Obama White House.
Any thoughts?
I also read that Dr. Dean is getting passed over. Well, that's a thank you very much. Sorry, but the cult worship of Obama has led to an arrogance level that is oblivious to the fact that he was a mere nobody in Springfield not long ago. And foreign policy issues didn't just emerge since Obama entered the arena... Obama owes a bundle to both John Kerry (hello!-he wasn't an "also-ran" like Biden or Hillary!) and to Howard Dean for even getting on the map in the first place!
The Hillary decision smells funny. We need to have the best candidates. And why rush to judgment on such weighty decisions long before you're even in office??
