To add to Jim Geraghty and Ed Morrissey regarding Obama’s increasing willingness to give all the resume-enhancing job positions to white guys: if Saul Alinsky was right nowhere else he was right when it comes to making your political opponents live up to their own rules. Particularly since said opponents still expect us to do so, even when they apparently can’t. Contrary to the current administration’s apparent hiring methodology assumptions, it is not particularly difficult to find perfectly well-qualified women and minority appointees to various political positions. That the Democrats are not stepping up to this is simultaneously: a) their problem, not mine and b) extremely fun to rub in their faces.
Personally, I blame the lack of even marginal press oversight during this administration. Which does the Left no favors, in the long run.
Despite the problems the GOP is having right now, I suspect the Dems and the left and going to exhausted and running on fumes by 2016. The question is can we take advantage of it like the dems did in 08
I could probably put together a couple binders full of women for the president, but then they’d probably be conservative women.
