Sheesh, I love the irony that he picked people like Hillary or Gates – people whose judgment he pretty much denounced throughout the last two years. (“Hillary has horrific judgment.” “The surge is doomed to fail.”)

“What we are going to do is combine experience with fresh thinking”

So far, the only one with (supposed) fresh thinking is Obama himself. Everyone so far on his team has experience. Not much a combo, huh?

“He said he would be foolish, at such a “critical time in our history”, to pick people who “had no experience in Washington whatsoever”.”

I agree, President-elect Obama. That’s why I voted for McCain.
