O-Borg-Ma?



True. I can’t help myself from mutilating Obama’s name to make my silly writing points.

But seriously. Has anyone noticed that Obama has the uncanny habit of absorbing his former opponents into his organization?

Joe Biden, VP. Hilary, Secretary of State. Bill Richardson, Commerce Secretary. Republican-Picked, Surge-Supporting Robert Gates to stay on as Defence Secretary.

Indeed, say some progressives, Obama seems to prefer appointing people from the center and even center-right --- where the real challenges to his nomination came from, incidentally --- over the progressive and left elements who formed his earliest, loudest and most eager supporters.

Resistance, apparently, is not futile. It is rewarded.
