Obama: I’ll Have Republicans In My Cabinet
Gee, I wonder which Republican Obama specifically has in mind.
SUNRISE, Florida (Reuters) – U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama said on Wednesday he would include Republicans in his Cabinet if he wins the election.
Obama, a Democratic senator from Illinois, also said he had “some pretty good ideas” about people he might tap for senior government jobs, though he emphasized he is focused for now on the final days of the campaign and takes nothing for granted.
“There is a transition process—that I’m not paying attention to on a day-to-day basis—but that has been set up,” Obama told ABC News in an interview.
Personally, I’m still thinking that Obama bought Colin Powell’s endorsement with a promise of a cabinet appointment.
Really, though, I’m not terribly impressed by the idea that Obama will have Republicans in his cabinet because I think he’s only promising that to obfuscate his far-left vote history in the Senate and his connections to far-left radicals like William Ayers, Jeremiah “God Damn America” Wright and Khalid Rashidi. I mean, maybe Obama appoints Lincoln Chaffee and Chuck Hagel to his cabinet.
Is that really supposed to satisfy conservatives? Or even middle-of-the-road, milquetoast moderate Republicans?
