<<<I was really asking for your opinion.>>>
I could list his top 50 appointments and then provide their biographies. You undoubtedly can then cherry pick and find fault based on all sorts of ideological grounds.
But the point is the tenor, or themes, implicit in his appointments. It is that everyone is educated, has proven abilities to read and write, has expertise, and has been successful after completing their education.
It starts with Obama himself. He has proven that he knows how to read, write and knowledgeable in a number of subjects.
You can go on down the list:
- Hillary Clinton
- Timothy Geithner
- Eric Holder
- Steven Chu
and on and on.
What do they all have in common?
They have all proven they can read, write, and knowledgeable in some area of knowledge. They all respect education. They all respect diligence and hardwork.
Take Eric Holder as an example. He was accepted and enrolled at Stuyvesant HS in New York City. Entrance to Stuyvesant is entirely based on competitive exam. This is the most sought after public school for smart kids to get into.
After Stuyvesant he was accepted and enrolled at Columbia University. Columbia University is not Harvard, Yale, or Princeton but is on the next level. Kids there are on a mission. They have a reputation for being grinders. In other words they try harder.
Again Holder made the cut and went to the next level. He went o and graduated from Columbia Law School.
By this time, the vast majority of his peer group haven fallen behind Holder. Without going into detail Holder had still to prove himself in the real world through hardwork and diligence.
Again he makes the cut.
Do you see what Obama, Holder, and the other Obama appointments have in common.
Now this is in stark contrast to Sarah Palin and say quite a bit about people who support and admire her. Sarah Palin has not proven she knows how to read or write. She has not shown any persistence in any endeavor. She has not shown she has respect for education.
What happens when your leader does not exhibit those values that civilization values eg education, knowledge, diligence, honesty, hardwork etc, etc.
Notice her kids drop out of HS. They get pregnant before completing HS, etc etc.
Do you see that her example would be devastating if she were ever elected to be our leader.
All this does not mean all of Obama's appointments will succeed but at least they have a chance.
Or am I just wasting my time trying to explain this? In any case, you asked for my opinion. |
