In 6 months those same people will be complaining that Obama appointed a bunch of communists. They're just being courteous for now.

Wait a minute... I distinctly recall some major pissing, moaning, and whining because some people thought the cabinet appointments were too liberal...

The appointment of Clinton administrative staff is a little worrying but he seems to be making steps in the right direction. Moving to fire politically appointed ambassadors is a good step. And lets be honest, the Clinton era presided over the largest surplus this country has known in quite some time. And like it or not, Hillary IS a recognized face around the world and has a rapport with foreign dignitaries from her years as First Lady. With the right boss behind her I think she could do some real good in foreign circles.

I challenge you to do a little research and look at the budget for the year this "surplus" supposed to have occurred. Then show me where you see this surplus. Until then, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and are making a fool of yourself.

This so called "surplus" was actually the result of the government borrowing money (ie: increasing the debt) from things like social security. So Clinton was able to create a "surplus" by raiding trust funds and replacing them with IOUs and all the while increasing the national debt? That's real amazing! Not...

You'll forgive me if I dont take the analysis of "Common Sense American Conservatism" at face value. Especially when the person dispensing the "common sense" is an electrical engineer.
The link I provided gives you a breakdown of the reasons behind the surplus.
