this is stupid snark.
I have no idea what the diarist will do in the GE. I know I am voting Obama. Should we let Obama know not to have a corporate lawyer as his economic adviser or are you ok with this?

Having nothing but cheerleaders surrounding you will inevitably lead to political demise (see: Bush, George W.). Yes, he took on someone with a differing view. This won't change his overall policy, but will prepare him for challenges to the policy and will help shape some of the arguments.
I agree, but that does not mean this guy is the one that should be in there.
Bill Clinton was great at getting differing views. This guy just smacks of appeasing the corporate powers.
he just hires really smart people, even if they have differing views about some things.
You may not be aware of this but one of the new GOP talking points is that Obama is the most liberal senator ever, ever, ever. And now we're arguing over whether his employees are liberal enough. Kind of like the original 'is he black enough or is he too black?' argument isn't it? A damned if you do, damned if you don't setup.
Yes... are they liberal ENOUGH to care about We The People! I am OK with that.
all the views and doing what he himself wanted.
He was smart enough to pull that sort of shit off.
huh?
He was able to sort of pull that off.
... at least Clinton didn't say something different to everyone, and then do something different from everything he said (that's arafat, in case you're wondering).
