The latest center-left, MainStream Liberal Blog (MSLB) defense of Obama is encapsulated by the Talking Points Memo publisher: It's Obama's policies - ignore the appointments of the people to implement them.
Well, Josh, just a few things.
1. People in different agencies guide the implementation of policies, the tools and strategy to implement them, etc. Unless BO is an even bigger micromanager than he's demonstrated, and is smoking crack to keep going, he can't oversee all these mid- and upper-midlevel appointees on a regular basis.
2. The people who are picked are an indication of policy directions. Shrub Bush said he was going to be a "compassionate conservative." When he picked, for example, Norton to head Interior, though, we all knew that environmental compassion was out the window.
