Fred –

Late and veering off-topic but business concern about Obama’s cabinet level appointments and advisers is legitimate. I see no signs that the selections will mimic the *pragmatism* of Clinton for exactly the reason you cite – the *noise* coming from the Far Left crowd. Nor do I see any evidence that Obama himself is wise enough to understand the deeper implications of radical policy (further military cuts ranks right up there with fiscal and monetary policies that diminish incentives for private investment in transition technologies).

There are so many issues of legitimate concern to vote against this candidate and his platform (which is starting to spin like a top). It is a breath-taking measure of Republican Congressional hubris that polish and pizazz can take the Democrats this far.

My opinion.
