Every election and subsequent appointments are a crap shoot to some degree. I would have chosen different people for some of Obama's cabinet, but that doesnt mean any of those he selected are not qualified.
ace...it sounds like you want to use only one measure (with no data to support it) to "prove" that Obama did not select the "most" qualified person? WTF? Only a fool would hire someone based solely on one measure (and misrepresent that measure), and not consider a range of factors including personal traits and character, vision, experience, etc.
What is clear to most objective observers is that the country's satisfaction with Bush as he leaves office is the lowest of any president since Nixon and that Obama brings the best opportunity for taking the country in a new direction.
I suspect that the 20-25% of Americans who still believe that Bush was good for the country are the same ones who wont be willing to give Obama a chance.
Yep...ace, I include you...but it would be nice if once in awhile, you have facts on your side.
