TW: I repeat myself but appointing centrists is the best way to implement more leftish policies. The left-wing blogs do not appear to get this somewhat obvious but certainly fundamental points. Again as long as the loudest shrieking and moaning is coming from the left then if I were Republican I would be very afraid...
From Economist:
"...Is Andy McCarthy of the National Review still convinced that Barack Obama is a "radical" leftist in "thin post partisan camouflage"...In what universe is this belief still tenable? Mr Obama came to fame with a speech decrying partisanship. He ran as a centrist, and is running his transition as a pragmatist. He has now handed out the three top jobs to an admired barely-partisan technocrat, his bitterest primary rival and the Republican who has run the Iraq war these last few years. Its almost as if he prized competence above all. It's bizarre.
I guess there is a scandal: that we're surprised that this can still happen in America."
