Obama's first failed appointment

Considering the large number of appointments praised from both 'sides of the aisle', it is rather silly to take cheap shots at one appointment. If the appointment does not work out, Obama is expected to fix it. Cheap shots are to criticize an appointment only because the president does not represent interests of wacko extremists.

There is much to question in the Obama administration. And virtually no facts to justify any criticisms. Panneta has a history of being a good administrator. He now has a new challenge and an assistant with much practical experience from that organization. Beyond that, the criticism is based only in recent Limbaugh commentaries..

Demonstrates the only justification for that Pannetta criticism.
