Full title: A Paean to Barack Obama. The Twelve Days of Choosing Obama's Top Team This is an enhanced version of my earlier post.

The Twelve Days of Choosing (Obama's Top Team)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuUFFGbuiUo Parody on The Twelve Days of Christmas, as applied to Obama's picks for his Cabinet and other key posts. The list is intended to be cumulative (that is, each person is picked only once). At the end I present those left out due to time constraints (Only twelve days!)

Re: now this is an excellent analysis.
I think its pretty clear that he is not wrong. HRC has no chance of passing him in the pledged delegates and about a 1% shot of passing him in the popular vote.

N E G L E C T E D.....C O N S T I T U E N C Y..?
For better or worse, most people vote with their pocket-book. There is a group of people in the USA who are smart, who save their money, and actually want to pay more taxes!

Re: FD, perhaps you can explain
HI, Regarding Hillary, I recommend Maureen Dowd's column in the today's NYT. The thesis is ''Hillary cloaks her nepotism in feminism.'' Hillary has accomplished very little in her life on her own, suggests Dowd, who is no a great friend of the left. We can go back and forth forever about Hillary, but mark my words, if you choose Hillary over ...
