Bob McCarty Writes

Michael, the creative mind behind My Personal Litmus, makes a good point in both the cartoon above and the narrative that accompanies it:

“I just laugh every time I hear the media mention Obama’s picks as being ‘Moderates’ or ‘Centrists.’  But I guess the view makes perfect sense when you consider where the media is viewing them from…”

Though I wish Michael would have included another special group people (i.e., Barack Obama’s friends and political cronies who are facing criminal investigations) in the cartoon, I understand why he did not: There simply isn’t room to show Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D-Ill.), Bill Richardson (D-N.M.)*, ACORN officials and all of the others under scrutiny by state and federal officials.

*Note: Richardson  announced today he will withdraw his name from consideration as U.S. Secretary of Commerce. It seems there’s a cloud of suspicion hanging over him as a result of allegations of wrongdoing involving the New Mexico governor and a company doing business with the state of New Mexico.  Click here to read the Albuquerque Journal article about Richardson’s withdrawal.
