12/7/08- TWD's Agenda For The Whole Weekend: The Quick Runthrough

Here's the quick weekend runthrough:
Obama's kept it real on Meet The Press today, telling the sad hack that is Tom Brokaw right now that "The economy is going to get worse before it gets better."

Condi Rice flip flops and flip flops some more. Okay, she didn't really do so, but her comments are nevertheless still "uggggghhhhhhhhhhh". As the video from Think Progress shows on the Fixed Propaganda Mournday (Fox News Sunday) show this morning, she expresses regrets about Iraq but doesn't regret taking out Saddam. In fact, she calls the removal of the former dictator, "a strategic achievement." Yes, she said that, and still does say that, STILL:

Enough of the rift wrath. Here's Obama today, showing love to Eric Shinseki, who will become the Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary.

Shinseki is the first Asian-American to be in that position. And what makes Shinseki real is this:

Shinseki is most famous for publicly contradicting Bush administration officials’ overly optimistic predictions about the war in Iraq. In 2003, then serving as the Army’s chief of staff, he told Congress that it would take several hundred thousand U.S. troops to secure Iraq.

Kansas will be happy about this. Kathleen Sebelius, the class act, first rate Governor of their state, took herself out of the running in the Obama cabinet.

And really, that is it for the political and public official runthrough at the moment. I will have more tomorrow.

Until then, stay safe, and stay whole. At The Whole Delivery.
