    Obama filling embassies with his cronies

    Comon Obama I expect more from you. Good to know that all you have to do to get a lucrative gov't job is to be a kiss ass.

    This is literally what every President since George Washington has done with embassy positions. Congratulations, you learned some actual history from watching Fox.
    The plural of anecdote is not "data". It's "Bayesian inference".

    A president appoints people to positions that are consistent with his views? This is SOP.

    Or who ever donates the most money to his campaign.

    I expect more integrity from Obama, leader of the most transparent administration in history.

    So I'm looking at the source FOX cites, and I'm wondering how it qualifies "political" and "career".

    This has been par for the course as far back as America has existed. Its just how politics works. As long as the appointments aren't absurdly stupid (like Ted Cruz to head of EPA stupid) theres not too much objectionable stuff.

    Exuses Crissi, exuses. We have been told that Obama is the leader of the most transparent administration in history.....I want it.

    I'm still waiting, how are we deciding "political" versus "career" nominations? Even the source FOX cites doesn't say.

    Senate still needs to confirm nominations, president can only nominate them.

    Oh, I dont trust Obama as far as I can throw him, and its hysterical running on transparency then becoming not so transparent, but Im only going to hold his hypocrisy against him, not the actual stuff that has been commonplace since Washington.

    The article doesn't give me criteria. I'm asking what does "political" versus "career" even mean?

    Yea come on republicans, Ozero is the worst thing to happen to us since Carter. I mean he's like a pussy-fied Putin but without the charisma, but also more tyrannical. Did I also mention he's a communist muslim who we have to question if he loves America? Thanks to the leadership and stalwart defense of the US constitution, the republicans have risen the US from the ashes of the liberal financial meltdown because too many blacks and poor browns and whites with their entitled sallie mae and freddie mac loans brought the hardworking, ambitious, investment bankers to their knees with their complicated poor CDOs and shiesty MBS.

    Thats about the most racist thing ive heard all day.

    You mean to tell me that Obama hasn't lived up to a campaign promise?

    That's racist
