The little research I have been able to do on the background of the appointees
indicate that they are actually Democrats that will work FOR the 99%.

The only negative is that this recent move by the President is so surprising and remarkable.
I would be much happier if the overall response was, "So what? He does this all the time."
This is what I would expect from a Democratic President elected with a HUGE Mandate for Change fighting an obstructionist Republican Party.
If President Obama will make this approach his SOP, he will regain my support.

Kudos to President Obama!
Please Keep Up the Good Work
and make opposing Republicans an unremarkable occurrence.




You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
