It's crazy how sour everybody's opinion of Obama is now. Me too. I can't even bear to watch him anymore.

ontd is a bunch of losers in their echo chamber crying as if bernie wouldn’t have to make the same difficult decisions the first black president would have to make and then some. they had so much pressure on them to perform to perfection and obama and michelle are repeatedly voted as the most admired man and woman in the world year after year so who really gives a shit

Michael Froman, who is now U.S. trade representative but at the time was an executive at Citigroup, wrote an email to Podesta on October 6, 2008, with the subject “Lists.” Froman used a Citigroup email address. He attached three documents: a list of women for top administration jobs, a list of non-white candidates, and a sample outline of 31 cabinet-level positions and who would fill them. “The lists will continue to grow,” Froman wrote to Podesta, “but these are the names to date that seem to be coming up as recommended by various sources for senior level jobs.”

The cabinet list ended up being almost entirely on the money. It correctly identified Eric Holder for the Justice Department, Janet Napolitano for Homeland Security, Robert Gates for Defense, Rahm Emanuel for chief of staff, Peter Orszag for the Office of Management and Budget, Arne Duncan for Education, Eric Shinseki for Veterans Affairs, Kathleen Sebelius for Health and Human Services, Melody Barnes for the Domestic Policy Council, and more. For the Treasury, three possibilities were on the list: Robert Rubin, Larry Summers, and Timothy Geithner.

This was October 6. The election was November 4. And yet Froman, an executive at Citigroup, which would ultimately become the recipient of the largest bailout from the federal government during the financial crisis, had mapped out virtually the entire Obama cabinet, a month before votes were counted. And according to the Froman/Podesta emails, lists were floating around even before that.

i’m not reading all this thanks tricia though for wasting your time

Froman was part of the transition team. There's nothing weird about this, really it should be who gets hired to be apart of a transition team.

not turning libya into a giant slave-market is a reasonable expectation

obama and michelle are repeatedly voted as the most admired man and woman in the world year after year

more americans admire trump than obama. only europeans like obama more than trump
